I really want to get this U3000 2-channel with external battery pack for my new GMC and decided to watch your video. Much respect, sir. Great job on the installation. Thanks for taking the time to film it as an aid to the rest of us. It is VERY much appreciated.

Guys and girls. Before you install the connecting wire from your rear camera across the top of your roof pillars, make sure you won't be interfering with the deployment of any curtain airbags. Many of these have an anchor point part-way up the A-pillar, for example, which makes routing the wire across the top of the A-pillar to the windshield inadvisable unless you remove the trim and go behind the airbag or, even better, down one side and up the other.. If in doubt, remove the trim to see what you're dealing with.

Shame they ruined an otherwise grsst design by omitting the most important Starvis2 feature - HDR.

hello a question disturbs me on the rear camera of the u3000! where is the rear radar sensor because on my pickup my window is completely vertical which forces me to completely tilt the objective of the lens to view the rear it seems that the radar sensor is on the side of the lens would require me to put an adjustable support to be able to adjust the inclination

Can you comment on the parking mode functionality? I’m concerned that given the meshed windshield, the radar won’t be of much use. I also saw something commenting on the back radar being blocked by the tinted window? I also have a tinted window but I don’t feel like cutting it.

I'm having trouble finding the link to the multi-functional knife

Great video good sir! Highly instructive for when I get my unit.

I wish i found this vid before i installed mine. Damn it took a whole day to finish mine (noob). The biggest reason why i got the u3000 is for the radar, but my rear window tint blocked the signal and i eventually cut a small cut-out the size of the camera body from the tint and its unnoticeable.

Hi there! Thanks for the review. Have a question on the U3000 Thinkware remote LIVE view feature....Basically, my intention is to view my car, LIVE from any remote location, even when the car is "SWITCHED OFF" (that's the key word). So my question is, if I connect the U3000 camera with a hardwire kit or if I use an external battery, like the ivolt Xtra or Powercell8, which will actually require me in both of the above cases to connect to the fuse box and this will eventually give the U3000 camera a constant power source alongwith having an internet connection inserted in the usb port of the battery, will I be able to see my car LIVE remotely from any location even when the car is "SWITCHED OFF"?

What kept throwing me off is you hardwired the green to the battery constant. Does that pull when the car is off? If not I can’t understand the reason for this.

Thanks you for show us the installation, but wouldn't your passenger will kick the battery to close to their feet I hope not. I going to buy Thinkware U3000 but not sure if I should buy the external battery because it is EV car my 12V battery does charge from the main battery I believed they install 12 battery to keep everything as 12 Volts so NO one can get Zap & get Killed by 87 KW battery.

i have thinkware u3000 and its very lame.
