Hopkins Backup Sensor System - Audible Alert - License Bracket Mount
I had purchased front parking sensors for my 2018 Mercedes Benz 300 GLC (why in the world on this car, no front parking sensors) and it cost me $265 to have them installed. I found the HOPKINS backup sensors on [another site] and because of shipping (so I could return if needed) I purchased it, even though more expensive for my 2018 Honda Ridgeline for the front (the rear had sensors installed). My local auto shop charged me $50 for installation. Total...a little over $90. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I have since bought another set from etrailers for the front of my 2014 Nissan 370Z. It is so low to the ground that I installed a wireless camera from GARMIN on the front license bracket. Because the HOPKINS worked so well on my Ridgeline, this seemed like a great solution for when I do not take the time to hook up the Garmin GPS in my vehicle. BIG difference in price of sensors. Bottom line...Buy it, you will really like it....
Well! It's with great coincidence that it stop working last week. Worked fine and now has stopped! This is our second one which lasted 8 years...traded with car! I now have to remove the back of our 2022 Chevy Trax to see what's going on!

Hopkins Trailblazer Electronic Deer Alert
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!
Although not yet installed, the product is much the same as the much more expensive hornet. Have had the hornet operating for seven years until the undercarriage signal module broke off. It is advantageous to mount the "module" under the hood. Thank you!

VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera - Wireless - Universal Mount - 152-Degree View
Didn't work as promised, led light always came on annoying people following, Suburban towing 24' trailer didn't work. Tried contacting Hoppkins no reply. I would not recommend, as a rear view camera ok just remember to turn off led lights as if your actually using it you will as when there on it is almost unusable.
Camera resolution is very good, but antenna is too short to broadcast through my 21' camper to my iPhone 14 Pro Max . . . I had to purchase a wired game antenna mounted on front of air conditioner to get reliable Wi-Fi signal (most of the time). Installation was fairly easy.

Hopkins Rear View Camera with Backup Sensors - 2-1/2" LCD
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.
