Title: Question about New Backup Camera/Monitor, $200 Costco option
Post by: pocketchange on March 03, 2014, 11:43:33 pm
After pounding the pavement and Internet..
COSTCO via their web sales .. Clover TFT7001.

My OLDer than dirt back up system has never done anything but elevate my BP & being a tech'e sort, this setup ended up being at the front of the class.  FWIW.

Anyone find something better because I'm looking?  pc

Good Morning:

I also am looking for a replacement for the "Older that dirt" current system. I did find this one SafeCo Supply Rear View Camera Systems :: For Your Truck :: Tow Parts Now (http://www.towpartsnow.com/store/home.php?cat=941)

However I have been cautioned as to check to make sure it has "mirror and reverse image"

Have called a few folks but have not gotten an answer.

This monitor is in, I think a 2005 FT for sale located at MOT. You can see it on the video.

Your link shows that there is auto reverse function as the last line in the description.

Nice find, thanks for sharing.

Does "auto reverse function" mean the camera automatically comes on when you go into reverse gear, OR, the image in the monitor is automatically reversed so it displays rear view correctly?

I installed the Costco backup system last year, works great, I believe that there is a wire for reverse sense mode.  I ran the new 66' cable from the camera to the dash.

Just checked with the distributor on my backup link. It does not have mirror image.

Oh well back to the drawing board.

I did look at Tadi Bros. they have on with a 9 inch screen with mirror image with two inputs (Audit). Hmmmmm

Cant say enough GOOD about Tadi brothers b^.^d

shipping knowledge, returns.. little pricy but great equipment.
I got the split camera, used one wireless,  one wired on the 9". Wonderful! I had to turn upbrightness a bit but both upper and lower cameras on a split screen - WoW. DW likes the rear monitor on when parked so she can see what's going on behind us. :not:
