Default VR3 Wireless Backup Camera w/Monitor- from Walmart

Has anyone tried this backup camera and do you think it is decent enough for the $100.00 price at Walmart? I have looked at Toyotas and it was over $500 and other aftermarket ones were the same price or higher.
Thanks,
Don

I bought mine from PEP BOYS and it works great. No more "I hope I'm not about to back into something" thoughts any more

I had a wireless setup in mine i think it was called "Swift Hitch" worked ok, but I ended up buying the factory system and couldn't be happier. No more fuzzy picture and its out of the way

For $98...it's definitely worth giving it a shot...especially since there are people happy with it. You can always return the product if it doesn't work out.

I need a back up camera bad...but will wait a while longer to make a final decision.

I do not know what head unit you have, but if you have a screen the Boyo VTL420 does an excellent job. It mounts as part of your license plate frame. Mine has a switch that allows me to turn it on even in drive when you need to see the trailer while you are moving.

Funny! I always thought you got a little less than you paid for (it's called profit)

Angry Re: VR3 Wireless Backup Camera w/Monitor- from Walmart

I wish the a$$h*le that backed into my truck had one! I haven't had the BB shots repaired yet and now I have to get the entire driver side painted
