I like my Cabled Voyager 7" system. I used it to replace the old Black & White unit. I realize stringing cable sucks but I believe the picture quality is superior to the wireless units. A gent I work with has tried several wireless units with his truck and fifth wheel. They all were returned to the stores.

I had a homemade wireless system that functioned very well. (Yes, the store bought wireless packages are useless.) But, I didn't like broadcasting a pirate signal, or the 1.5A draw... especially if I forgot to switch off the transmitter.

Installed wired (2) camera system from here

Appears to be good quality, adequate picture... so far so good

Another place to check is Rear View Safety. Lots of combinations available & good technical support.

A couple of years ago I bought a system from Levethian Holdings and it's been great!

Rear View Safety is available at Costco as well as online. They do have tech support and that is why I chose them over Levithian Holdings. Also, Rear View Safety has a 5 1/4" model that fit better into the built in space in dash left from removal of my old Sony monitor.

I found a system on the internet that included a color camera and a 7" monitor for just over $90.

I did a write-up of the installation that is linked in my signature below.

I'm completely satisfied with the system.
