Should the reversing camera be installed at a 4S shop or outside?
2 Answers
Installing a reversing camera at a 4S shop may void the warranty on the vehicle's wiring, so it is better to have it installed outside. Below is relevant information: 1. Definition: A reversing camera, also known as a parking assist system, reversing visual system, or onboard monitoring system, is widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. This system provides a clear and intuitive view of the rear of the vehicle when reversing, making it one of the most practical configurations for reversing safety. 2. Technology used: Professional vehicle-mounted probes have further improved anti-magnetic, anti-shock, waterproof, and dustproof performance. The onboard display uses TFT true color, with anti-magnetic treatment to eliminate signal interference and flickering. It can simultaneously receive two video inputs, play VCD and DVD without a decoder, and features automatic horizontal switching and automatic on/off functions for reversing visuals.
I've been driving for over a decade and often encounter reverse camera installation. While 4S shops are more expensive, they guarantee quality, especially for new cars under warranty as it won't affect factory services. Outside shops offer cheaper and more options, but their skills vary. Recently helping a friend, 4S quoted from 2000 yuan while small shops could do it for 600, but choosing reputable ones is crucial to avoid wiring issues. My experience: installing externally on an old car saved money, with the camera lasting three years flawlessly – choosing night vision features proved practical. Budget and car condition matter most: prioritize 4S for new cars, external shops for older ones. Don't skimp on safety; regularly check connections to prevent loosening. Weigh risks versus benefits, and choosing the right place usually works out fine.
