Camera Died, Need Replacement.

Hey All,

My camera mod finally died. It was a modification to a 2006 TL with DOMs box and a Wendy Camera. When I switch the car into reverse it still swaps inputs on the DOMs box, but the screen is blank. I think the camera died. Can anyone recommend a replacement or have any other ideas as to what could be wrong?

-Eric

Anyone? I have seen some people using the Boyo VTK-350, but it seems that it doesn't fit well. I was looking for something that is a more direct replacement for the Wendy camera? Any suggestions?

I don't know what a Wendy camera is, but the Kenwood CMOS-300 looks almost identical to the stock camera on my 07.

I like that camera a lot. The only thing I wasn't sure about was the power supply. I think I could just run it off of the line that the DOMs unit is on, but I didn't want to overload anything. Would that work?

IIRC it is fused at like 5 amps, so very little current draw.

Looks like a nice setup. Anyone used this unit before? Any pics of it installed, feedback on image quality?

Thx

I installed one on an RL for a customer. It looks like a $59 camera.

I have the kenwood CMOS-200 for the rear

And the Audiovox Car ACA200W for the front

Both are great cameras, small easy to mount and come with all the cable you need. The Kenwood have a power regulator too that one will definitely last forever but you gotta pay for quality.

The question for me is now CMOS-300 or CMOS-200. The CMOS-300 looks awesome, but it is also a lot more money than the CMOS-200.

I was on the fence about the CMOS-300 too but after watching several videos of the camera angles I realized the camera doesn't give you any more of a view when you switch modes it just distorts the image differently. After that realization it couldn't justify the insane price!

That's basically where I am at... Plus then I don't have to run the cable for the controller.
