Should I Install the 4S Store's Product for My New Car's Rearview Camera?
2 Answers
It is not mandatory to install the 4S store's product for your new car's rearview camera. The function of a rearview camera: It allows the driver to clearly see obstacles behind the car through the in-car display screen while reversing, helping to avoid accidents caused by the driver's inability to see the rear situation. The installation method for a rearview camera is: Remove the rear license plate light and install the camera probe; connect the two wires from the rearview camera to the positive and negative terminals; link the signal wire to the navigation system; correctly connect the signal transmission connector, secure it with tape, engage the car's reverse gear, and turn on the ignition to view the rear image.
I recently bought a new car and have been thinking about the rearview camera. The package from the 4S shop looks official, but the price is really not cheap—it's two to three thousand higher than the market price I checked, including hardware and installation fees. The advantage is that they have original factory parts, which perfectly match the car model, and the installation technicians are more professional, so they won’t damage the new car’s interior or wiring. Since the car is still under warranty, if there’s a problem with the 4S shop’s equipment, they’ll handle it more smoothly without any disputes. My old colleague chose this option and has had no issues in two years. However, if you’re on a tight budget, professional modification shops outside also offer good brands like DDPai, which are cheaper and provide more features like night vision enhancement—you just need to spend time comparing. Protecting your new car is important, so don’t skimp and end up with long-term troubles.
