This is a good camera also. You can find the same ones that camera source are selling on ebay for $12.

No reason to spend over 100 bucks on a camera for a car or truck. LOL

I'd pay the difference for the lockpick air, but it's been sold out for awhile:

It's not sold out. They discontinued it. Too many issues with the New F150's

They are working on a new lockpick air to replace it.

Something similar to this. You can find them in Chrome also. Just check specs. There alot of different ones. Some have the lines. Some have a wire to cut to remove the parking lines. They range from 8 to 20. I got them for around 12 bucks.

So much negative advertising from Kendive, which is unfortunate. We are a proud F150forum.com sponsor and happy to use this opportunity to shed some light on this topic.

Let me explain that all cameras are not the same - there is a HUGE difference in internal components and quality control between camera manufacturers. Physical components including lenses (plastic vs. glass), image sensors (CMOS, CCD, SCMOS), and IR sensors have a wide range of quality tiers. In addition the firmware program is also essential as this is how the camera processes light and converts the pixel array into the image you see on your monitor. At Camera Source we build our cameras to exceed factory specifications, even duplicating the factory parking lines in some models making it impossible to tell that it wasn't installed at the factory. Simply put it costs a lot more to build a quality product.

All that being said our price point is not for everyone, which is why those $12 cameras have a place in the market. However, don't forget to read all the reviews before buying something that is going to require you to tear your truck apart every time it fails. Take a few minutes to read all the 1 and 2 star reviews for the Amazon product that was recommended in the post above and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Regards,
Chris
