    • If you already have a Garmin GPS then this is the one
Review Image by Pelican Pelican
This backup camera works perfectly. The installation takes only a couple of minutes and is clearly explained in the brief manual. The device has obviously been carefully designed to adapt to various requirements. For example, most add-on cameras are located at the top of the license frame which is the default location for this one. However, those I have tried blocked the hatch handle on my SUV making it difficult or impossible to open. That was also the case with this device which completely blocked the handle, but the frame is designed so that the camera holder can be flipped and the bracket inverted with the camera on the bottom. That worked perfectly. If you have a compatible Garmin GPS which includes the DriveSmart series – a compatibility list is available on line – then you only need to insert 2 Li batteries, remove the license plate, and reinstall with the camera holder in place. Pop in the camera and you’re finished. The camera pairs automatically with the GPS and includes several convenient features. It turns on automatically whenever the car is started. The display is clear, adapts well to sharp differences in lighting such as when the car is in the garage with bright sunshine outside, and automatically turns off when the GPS senses forward movement or after a couple of minutes. A button appears at the upper right of the display to manually turn the camera on and off, and voice commands can also be used. It would be nice if the camera turned on automatically when the GPS senses backing movement like it turns off with forward movement, but that might require too much distance to be useful and it is no big deal anyway. Assuming that this camera proves to be sturdy and waterproof over time, then I will be really happy with it. As others have mentioned, the pop-in aspect of the camera is convenient for installation and battery changes, but also would make it a 2 second process to steal. It might be better to be a little less convenient to remove to reduce that risk, but perhaps that won’t be a problem. Time will tell, but for quality, ease of installation and overall convenience, this is definitely a 5. Edit: after using for several more weeks, this still rates a 5. It sometimes takes a few seconds to connect when starting the car, but not always and the delay is never more than 3-5 seconds. This makes backing up an SUV much easier. As for the easy theft issue, that could be partly addressed by adding a couple of metal tabs screwed into the bottom holes in the license plate (see photo). Not theft proof, but no longer a 2 second matter either. Garmin should include something like this by default. Overall, this camera is a good choice. ... show more

    • Why did I wait so long!
Review Image by MIWI68 MIWI68
I didn't have a back-up cam like all the cars made today do, even though mine is a 2013. Nor did it have a GPS. I bought this cam for my Garmin smart drive 55 with traffic. Follow instructions and you'll have no problems. Reading reviews some people had their cameras stolen or when they hit a nasty bump or hole in the road the camera was knocked out of the camera bracket. One solution is to add plastic wire ties to secure the camera to the bracket (see picture) and the metal license plate bracket it's attached to. problem with that is you have to cut the plastic wire ties when the batteries need replacement. But I'm ok with that. Add the wire ties before attaching to your car. ... show more

    • Great for people with an older vehicle
I have two newer vehicles that have built in back up cameras, but my 2003 F-250 is not one of them, I have been using Garmin GPS units for years and finally paired this to my trucks Garmin GPS, even though I have no issues with my mirrors, this does help when backing up in a truck that is over 20 feet long….just another tool to help when needed….great idea and an easy install. ... show more

    • Good idea, but......
I installed this camera on a 1982 chevy g20 van (all steel construction) the ad says good for 21 feet Bluetooth connection, it was 14 feet from the garmin GPS to the outside of the back door. It would sometimes connect but buffer ever 2 seconds, sometimes it would not connect. If I took it off the license plate and opened the door and played it inside, it worked great, move it outside and shut the door nope. I guess it's ment for modern plastic cars, not old vans. ... show more

    • It Works!
I love this little backup camera. I put lithium batteries in it and it has been over a year since I put it on my car. The batteries have withstood a cool Wisconsin winter and just recently I got a notification that I need to replace my batteries, although the camera is still working. Because the camera clicks in to the holder and some people reported that theirs fell off, I just neatly placed a piece of duct tape along the side for a little extra security and still maintain easy removal when I need to change batteries. Be aware when viewing things behind you, objects are closer than they look. The camera provides 3 lines to help gage distance: green, yellow, and red for when you are in the danger zone. It’s an inexpensive little backup camera that works really well and only needs batteries replaced once a year. It’s one of those things that I’m no longer willing to be without. ... show more

    • Greatest disappointment with the Garmin BC-40 (unsuccessful after 1.5 years - it has never worked!)
I bought this device in May 2020 to add a backup camera to my SUV that would sync with my Garmin SmartDrive 61. From the very beginning & after sending my first one to Garmin for a "defective unit: the second one will not connect with my GPS. I've followed Garmin's online instructions & YouTube video for a solution & here it is Dec 2021 & I have never gotten this camera to connect with my SmartDrive 61...ever! Sadly, this has been such a distasteful experience - I'd sooner throw away Garmin's BC-40 camera (It's BullCrap-40). It wasn't too terribly expensive, but screw that - $140 that I earned and the value I get is garbage. Garmin, you can DO better than this & your customers expect better for their money. It's been over 1.5 years and it still has never worked - so I just conceded & feel too tired to take on another corporate injustice with mediocre products or services. Customers or potential customers - please be aware of this product's user experience. ... show more
