    Strongly considering installing an aftermarket backup camera and was wanting to know if anyone had an experience with having a wireless camera. Curious how it compared to wired aftermarket camera as far as video quality and if the video can be viewed in the aftermarket stereo instead of the included monitor it comes with?

Toyota covered in first 3 years of ownership. Mine failed after 13 years of daily regular driving use. Not bad at all. 3) Pioneer Unit - had to ship to Pioneer to replace Output IC - $45 (shipping) free under 1 year warranty fix 4) Pioneer Unit - Electrical feed back coming through speakers when accelerating. Fix was to check all wiring/tighten up/ make connections good again $42. 5.) Rear passenger door actuator replaced. Part was $287 with tax on ebay from Toyota dealer free shipping. 6.) Rack and Pinion, tow mirrors, shocks install, lifetime alignment - $1884.36
    I wanted to share my buyer's beware story with my Pioneer 8400 nex unit. Long story short, the unit would stop playing any audio at different times for no apparent reason. Then it would take it's time to come back, sometimes 5 min, 10 min etc. It wasn't anything to do with the usb cable, all of the other cables or plugs being unplugged, or anything like that. Nothing to do with car play etc or bluetooth. I had it checked out a couple times by my local install shop. I did an RMA with Pioneer.

    What I didn't know is that Pioneer makes the buyer pay for the shipping of their defective unit even when the unit is under warranty. I don't know about you, but I don't like subsidizing a giant corporation's shipping costs. I shipped the unit a few weeks ago for $36. The replacement parts have been received, and it takes another 5-7 days to install it, and then ship it. In principle I think this is a shitty business practice. I'm a super strong brand loyal kind of guy.

    So, it might be worth your while to look into warranties and shipping who covers the cost in case the unit breaks. I know I'm looking into other options other than Pioneer in the future. Just crossing my fingers the rest of these companies aren't like Pioneer.
