petetlr · 06-01-2012, 11:13 AM

Hey can the people with rear view cameras give me recommendations and there opinions on what would be the best rear view camera, I would like to buy one but I know nothing about them.
Thanks.

Check out the Alpine HCE-c300R or 305R. I Have the standard rearview mirror cam and also have an aftermarket HU with the Alpine HCE-C300R connected to it. The Alpine gives you 4 selectable on the go views as well as an audible warning system.

op- if you have the base or nismo, i would just replace the head unit (stereo) with a doubledin unit (large display) and run a rear view camera.

Which camera is better between the top of the line Alpine or the Kenwood CMOS-310? I like the idea of Alpine's audible warning when you get close to a curb, do the Kenwood cameras have this feature?

I do not think the kenwoods do, both are going to give you a good quality picture.

I have a Kenwood 9990 HU, so would it be best to go with a Kenwood backup camera?

370ZilverZ · 06-02-2012, 12:52 PM

Not at all. I have a Kenwood HU, but am using the Alpine camera

Thanks for the input everyone. I need to save more money to get an alpine.

Is the Alpine HCE-305R the top of the line from the Alpine lineup? I'd like to compare it to the Kenwood CMOS-310.
