Hi...I had the Boyo VTL-120 black, rear license plate camera installed when I installed my Valor GPS radio replacement.
The camera works great under all light conditions, but because the camera is mounted on the top side (center) of the license frame, there is a little clipping of the image due to the curved over-hang of the body. Ideally if the camera were located on the bottom of the frame, I think it would give a larger, unobstructed rear view.
I wanted this because of my grandkids and the rather large blind spots of the coupe car.
I would do it again and like having it. I had Car Toys install mine; I presume they ran the wire through an existing hole and under carpet, but dont know for sure. I cant see any sign of the wiring.
