With the Garmin BC 20, it is best to consult a professional too but Garmin has a passion for support and offers a way for do-it-yourself fans to independently install the entire system. Many of the backup cameras in the market are unbranded or come from a not-so-known manufacturer so support is questionable and your best bet is to have a professional install the system. One of the main features of this wireless backup camera is Garmin’s branding. The Garmin BC 20 Wireless Backup Camera is an example of a product that can give old trucks that modern car functionality. On top of that, larger vehicles like trucks don’t have that at all. Fortunately, not everyone has the money to buy these advanced automobiles and that is why Garmin’s products continue to sell. Even though Garmin continues to churn out high-quality navigation products, not all consumers are aware of that and probably won’t be curious since they can just use the built-in features of their new car.
Cars are pretty advanced in software nowadays where you can use the touchscreen to for navigation or entertainment services. These cameras work together with the screens that are built into the control console of the car’s interior. This is why many of the midrange and high-end models of consumer cars are having backup cameras and/or sensors built right into the back of the car. When backing your car, there is always that possibility of something getting in the way and you just can’t see it.
