Most Popular Dash Monitor for 2017 Nissan Frontier

The Smart Hitch is very effective, when it is working correctly. Unfortunately, reliability has been an issue. The camera and monitor have worked without fail. However, the sensors and corresponding alignment bars and alert sounds have been inconsistent in performance. Intermittently, but particularly in wet weather or after using a car wash, the sensors would become intermittent or disfunctional. In those conditions, the unit would immediately begin alerting that I was extremely close to the trailer or an object (when in back up mode) as soon as I shifted into reverse, regardess of the distance to the object. When I raised the issue initially, the company immediately provided me a replacement unit. This worked for some months, then the replacement unit began exhibiting the same symptoms. I tried putting the original sensor unit back on and it worked correctly for months, until just recently when it began exhibiting the same symptoms. The Nissan Frontier requires that you cut off the interface connector that is used with normal 6/7 pin connectors used on most trucks and splice into the back up light wiring. It is possible that this may be contributing to the issues I am experiencing. When it works correctly, the Smart Hitch is very effective, both to facilitate hitching a trailer and as a backup camera.

Received the unit quickly. Finally just got around to installing it and installation went extremely well. There were no nuts to screw lock the splice joints together and hold them in place so I taped the connectors together with a good quality electricians tape. Picture looks good and warning alarm works great. Field of view is good but I get a back up alarm signal if I am backing up to a rise in the pavement. Over all I am pleased with the unit. If it lasts a good while I will be extremely happy.

I installed a backup camera on my 40' 5th wheel travel trailer. LOVE it! Dialed in the guidelines, flipped the image to mirror view and can nail the tight parking spaces like a professional. Lets me keep an eye on the bikes on the bike rack too. The night vision feature is great. The microphone/speaker works well when I need a real person spotting (which is almost never now). Now my wife can just talk to me, no more yelling. Installation wasn't too difficult as the cable fit behind the weather strip along the corners of the coach. If you want to know what's in the blind spot behind you, good choice here. And the monitor has 2 more video connections to use too. Might add a hookup camera next. Anyway, buy it.

I have a pull behind camper and I like to see what is behind the camper as I go down the road. The camera is wired to an AUX switch so I can have it on when I need it. The camera is also great for backing the camper. The monitor is mounted to a block of wood to fit in two of the four cup holders so I can store it when not in use, out of sight.

I just received my order and I was not disapointed. The camera and associated parts are all of high quality and I would not hesitate to order future supplies from etrailers. This is not to mention there fantastic customer service. My purchase was on back order and they kept me in the loop without any intervention from me. Out of all the online order that I have placed this year etrailer deserves a 5+ star rating ... Thanks again

I am very happy with it.
