Most Popular Hardwired for 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup

I just recently purchased and installed the hopkins camera HM60195VA and say I love it. It's an easy install for my dodge challenger and helps out beyond words when backing up. The install only took about an hour and if your not really looking you can't tell there is a camera there. The wiring was simple and plenty long enough and the monitor looks like it belongs there. I highly recommend this set up.

Works great, especially for hooking up my trailer. Was a easy install, good instructions. The only thing I needed extra was zip ties for attaching the cable to the frame. Installed it on a 2000 Ford, F-150 Harley Davidson edition.

This product was perfect for my teenage daughter's vehicle. It works great and warns her of objects behind the car that she can't see otherwise. Love it!

Works great! I installed it on my 2014 Ram truck. Only suggestion is to add a toggle switch to turn it off so it doesn’t drive you crazy when backing a trailer! Easy addition. Important to remember to turn it back ON after so it will warn you again.

Great deer whistle, I've been using one for 7 years on my Ram then sold the truck and needed another one and this one works just as well. Great product.

I rounded a curve in the road to find a deer froze in the left lane looking for where the sound was coming from. As I approved it back of the road like a scolded dog its back to me trying not to be seen. Based on that experience I think it works!

Excellent product. The installation instructions are in need of improvement. The manual is not spot on with monitor operation and a pig tail was included that had no mention in the instructions as to it's use. Install time is not short nor is it an easy job. I went with a hard wired system because the issues you may get with wireless become mute with this unit. I honestly can say that if wireless backup cameras get where they come close to a wired system I would go that route because the install is so much easier. All in all RVS has good products, service and the availability of parts and accessories if needed. This system is installed on a 21 foot + travel trailer pulled by a 1500 Ram.

I installed this in an F150 and 19ft trailer combination. The install went reasonably easily, after I had worked out how to route the wiring. In general the item works ok but my main issue is how difficult it is to navigate the software that controls the image. It appears that the brightness setting is set too low out of the box, so in bright conditions (when the sun is out), it is not easy to see what is on the screen. Trying to adjust brightness has been almost impossible. The remote is not always making a connection with the unit and there appears to be no way to make adjustments without the remote. Do you have contact info for the manufacturer, or perhaps you've had previous feedback about this? Thanks.

My wife rode with a friend for lunch who had a new car with a back-up camera. She was really impressed and was talking about buying a new car to replace her 2011 Ford Escape that would have the backup camera. I found a video showing how to install the camera on an Escape by etrailer. I was impressed by the company and bought a unit. It arrived quickly and I was able to install it following the instructions I had watched. It took me a couple of hours to install, the hardest part being fishing the cables to the rear of the car. Once installed it worked great. My wife is very, very happy with the install. She says she is much more confident in parking her car. Thanks a lot. I would, and do recommend etrailer and the back up camera kit.

im very pleased with the product (camera & rear view mirror) takes a little work to get the cables run through your vehicle (f150) and finding a good power source (my problem) had one issue with a cable mfg took care of it over all had it installed for 1 year very happy got it manly for conecting to our travel trailer but use it all the time now

This style of camera in the mirror solves a lot of location problems on the dash. A good engineered product that should outlast the vehicle its installed on. I had good service from Etrailerr and the item was delivered intact and promptly.

No problems. Works as advertised. I use to have a wireless camera, but that would disconnect now and then, or pick up some ones security camera when driving by. Wired connections are the way.

The camera is of high quality, as is the rearview mirror and monitor. I did have to return the first mirror because the bracket didn't match my 2013 Ram 1500's windshield mount, even though it was listed as a universal fit. The Ram has a triangular type fitting. I tapped into the reverse light wiring for power. l ended up having to replace the incandescent reverse light bulbs with LED bulbs because the monitor image flickered badly until I installed the LEDs. I think this was because the BCM (Body Control Module) got confused with the additional power draw. Since then the camera and monitor have worked flawlessly. It provides a great view behind the truck, even at night. Because of the placement on the bumper it doesn't have a good view of the hitch ball, but I don't tow very often. Overall I have been very pleased and feel that the camera is well worth the price.

Outstanding parts knowledge and a high quality products!

I am very happy with it.

Every thing in the kit look like good stuff haven't installed yet.

Great unit. My only recamindashion would be to watch the instal video and get everthing needed to install in one ordre.

This was fairly easy to install. Works great for lining up on our fifth wheel trailer hitch.

Was easy to install and the quality of the picture was rather surprising. Very clear and bright. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to ease the hookup for a Fifth Wheel with a goose neck adapter.

Image only covers 1/2 the mirror & is too small to see any details

Hard to see in bright sun other than that easy to install

Exactly what I needed for our venerable 2003 Jayco travel trailer. 3D printed a very neat unit that holds the display and fits into a “sunglasses pocket” on the top of the dashboard of our Chevy Colorado pickup.

superior upgrade for us. would have been 5 star but the installation and usage instructions are almost worthless. 8^)

THE ITEM WAS CORRECT AND IS EXACTLY WHAT MY CUSTOMER WANTED

There was a missing clip necessary to activate the brake lights.

The installed led light harness almost fits the brake light housing. I had to make a few modifications to make it fit. Other than that it works perfectly.

The quality of the parts seem good but the directions to install everything were horrible (essentially none existent) and I had to go to [online] to figure out how to remove my factory mirror for the new mirror install and the wiring I figured out by trial and error. The camera kit should have included longer screws to replace the stock screws on the F250 brake light. The order was delayed about a month due to supply chain shortages. Once I got got it all together it works well, just disappointed in the instructions and should have provided replacement screws.

The directions are poor at best. You have to figure it out on your own, which isn't a real big problem, but some additional information would be nice. The bezel for the camera is nice, but doesn't fit 100%. Its close enough, but you have to play with it a little. Additionally, I'm not sure why the camera has a 6' cable, then there is a REQUIRED 24' cable to then connect to another 6' cable to the mirror. I'm wanting to install the mirror in my truck, not the truck in front of me. I don't need 36' of cable, its a Crew Cab, not a buss. So it means you have ALOT of cable to stash. Also, other than changing the brightness, I have no idea what the POWER button on the mirror does. I wired to a switched power source figuring I could just press the power button to turn the monitor on and off. Guess what.. you can't. It is ON. To have this work right, you'd have to figure out a way to wire it to the reverse light switch. And once you find this issue (despite the item description clearly stating the power button can be used to turn it on and off), good luck getting help from etrailer. Was told I would be contacted by someone from technical support days ago... its been crickets. It also sucks the mirror is autodiming, despite what looks like light sensors front and rear, it does not dim (only found that mentioned in the two page "manual/install guide".

One of our Technicians has about 20 years in truck aftermarket setup and thought that this rear view camera was as good as it gets. In all, the quality, installation flexibility, video quality and adjustments made this product something that we will purchase again. The compass and temperature were a bonus as well as remote control adjustments for grid lines , brightness and such. This shipped very quickly and all components are well labeled and packed. The directions are easy to follow. Our installation is mounted below a safety warning LED light so it is protected but something etrailer might think about is a surround escutcheon type thing for added protection.
