There are several improvements to the 2017 – 2018 versions I bought and reviewed. I bought the 2017 version of the Type S Solar HD Wireless Car Backup Cam for $124! Here is the install and review video ( https://youtu.be/SP5ifKcy7Vk ). It has lasted past 3 years with occasional charging. I normally park outdoors in full sun. This is a good kit if you don’t want to splice wires and just want a plug and play solution. There are other wireless backup cameras which use 12 volt power from a reverse light ( https://amzn.to/2OdiudB ), but this unit makes it even simpler for the DIYer!

The 2020 TypeS Solar Wireless Backup Cam uses two solar panels on each side of the license plate to power the camera! It has a battery and solar panel built in to the license plate! From the specifications, they now have a 5000 mah battery, which is larger than my 3350 mah battery in the 2017 version. The camera is also off center on the frame. The new version also is able to use two cameras for the front and back view. According to the box, they assume you will leave your car charging in the sun for at least 2 hours a day, and using the backup camera for less than 10 times.

The installation instructions are virtually the same as my 2017 version and will probably take about 10 minutes to install. The backup camera kit is activated by waving your hand at the monitor , touch screen, and by g-sensor (car movement) to wake up the camera.

Costco Michelin Cargo Mat – All weather – Universal Trim-to-Fit $24

Costco has the Michelin Cargo Mat Trim-to-Fit for $24. There are similar trimmable cargo mats sold online: https://amzn.to/3kE25PM . This is a good deal if you want to quickly create a custom sized mat protect your cargo area from spills and dirt. This trimmable cargo mat has a width is 53 inches and the length is 36 inches. The material is TPE. It has integrated fold lines.

There are vehicle specific custom floor liners and cargo mats( https://amzn.to/2HlNH0q ) on the market. I have bought them for my cars recently as they fit very well, however they cost close to 3 times this universal trimmable mats. Typically, i would get custom floor liners for foot wells of my cars. I would get generic cargo liners mats for the rear, as generally the rear area is flat. The majority of spills and mud happen in the foot wells.

AUKEY Dual Dash Cam – INSTALL – 24 Hour Battery Backup – LONG TERM REVIEW – Honda Clarity

I bought the AUKEY Dual Dash Cam – 1080P HD Front and Rear Camera from Amazon( https://amzn.to/2R6c6sh ) about 20 months ago. This video will give an overview of Honda Clarity dual dash camera install overview including front and rear dash camera wiring. Powering a dash camera for 24 hour recording.

I have a 64 gig mini SD card to allow for 24 hour recordings. The dual dash camera records front and back of the car in 1080P resolution. A dual input 26,800 mah power bank powers the dash camera for 24 hour recording. It charges from two 12 volt car ANKER USB fast chargers ( https://amzn.to/3i9Db9V ). Many of these items are listed on my 2018 Honda Clarity list on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/shop/sterlingw
