I've been on the fence on whether to purchase the AVX-77 or 44. Brand new I'd be shelling out over $400 shipped for either one of them. The other day I found the AVX-AVX-44 for $150 shipped (used), so that made the decision very easy.

Here's the cost breakdown for those interested in what the camera, satellite radio components, etc. cost:

JVC AVX-44: $150
Harness: $20
SiriusConnect SC-C1 Universal Vehicle Tuner: $60
JVC KS-SRA100 SiriusConnect to JVC Interface: $60
Camera: $80
Antenna: $15
Euro Key: $7

My total cost was under $400, so I have no signs of buyer's remorse and feel very good about the purchase.

By the way, does anyone know how to adjust the settings so that the camera is automatically displayed when reverse is selected?

It's working now. I failed to connect a 12v jumper from the reverse light to the stereo.

 

thanks looks good. And nice price. Do you have the factory amp or upgraded system?

 

Thanks. I left the factory amp and speakers stock for now, since they sound fine. I doubt I'll upgrade them unless they fail.

 

Here's a couple shots of the hole I drilled in the glove compartment to run the USB cable.

Curious where is the camera mounted? Post a pic...

 

I used one of the tag bolts to secure the camera.

Clever. Now the cops can't see that your tag expires this month ......

 

looks great ,nice job.im installing a soundstream 7"flip .the reverse has to be connected i read.it overpowers all over functions till you put the car in park or drive.i was curious if you bypassed the wire to park that only allows you to watch the screen in park.once again looks good

 

Here's the camera I used. For the JVC, I only had to ground a wire in order to have video in motion.

I have the AVX 11 and all did to bypass was to run the wire directly to an earth. I just used a point I knew was a good earth. Easy to test for with a circuit tester or Multimeter.

 

If you're connecting a wire to the earth, the length and weight would probably cause problems on a long drive.

 

To "an Earth" not "The Earth" Grammer is a wonderful thing when you have grasped it !

 

And you are the master :

 

very nice install, super clean.

You would have to carry a huge coil of wire to go on a trip.
Maybe you could install a retractable grounding arm to scrape across the ground instead of connecting a wire to any earth. I'm just saying.

 

Don't give up your day job, You don't appear to have a future in sartorial wit!

 

We definitely agree on that one. This is especially true with sartorial wit, as I'm not a snazzy dresser.

We really don't use that expression on this part of the Earth.
