I put a WalMart camera on my DW Toyota. I think it is the same as the Cosco unit. Other than bragging rights, I cannot think of anything positive about it. You sure have to hook a lot of wires, for a wireless camera.

I put a $400 camera on my TC. It works day or night. It is not wireless, but has less wires than the wireless unit, just have to run them further. It took way less time to install than the so called wireless unit. I cannot think of anything negative about it, except maybe cost. Guess this is one of those things you get what you pay for.

good grief, what wires does yours take. my $69 dollar jobby uses a standard 2 wire plug into the cigarette lighter for the screen, which I am going to change to a two wire fused one, and the camera takes two wires, hot & ground.
