Husky Liners Custom Fit Front and Second Seat Floor Liner Set for Select Ford/Mazda/Mercury Models

Husky Liners Custom Fit Front and Second Seat Floor Liner Set for Select Ford/Mazda/Mercury ModelsI was logged on to Amazon and was browsing for accessories for my new Mercury Mariner when I ran across this listing for these Husky liners that were in the warehouse and available for less than half price (may be returns?). They are great, fit perfectly, are attractive and do there job of keeping the carpets clean. when you get snow, mud or sand in the liners all you have to do is pull them out, dump them and rinse them off and put them back. I looked at other liners but was not willing to pay $200 $300. These are great for less than $50.

I highly reccomend this for anyone who has a Mazda Tribute. Just like it says it fits perfectly and covers all the carpet to protect that. I'm buying the cargo cover next. Thanks again.!!

Wagan 2326 Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner

Wagan 2326 Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum CleanerThe vacuum worked well....until it just stopped working. I had only used it 5 times when this happened. I contacted Wagan to get a replacement and they handled it pretty quickly, but I had to ship it to them, which is about half the actual price of the vacuum itself. They have not offered to pay for the shipping.

I got this unit at Frys and it worked OK for about a month until it no longer charges from the charging cradle. When it was working, it wasn't very powerful anyway, so it's better to buy a different product rather than have this get shipped back and fixed by Wagan. It's cheap but turns out to be a waste of money.

Buy Wagan 2326 Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaner Now

I own a second-hand car, though it was clean and nice when I first got it, but after a while, with driving kids and adults around, you start to see some stains and debris around the car. Having a small interior made it worse, cleaning it would be mission impossible, unless I send it for a through cleaning, and that only happens when I need the car for a big occasion, which is once in a blue moon.

I found this vacuum on Amazon when I was browsing for a light-weight and easy-to-use vacuum to keep in the trunk for easy access. I wanted to keep one on the car so that I don't have to drag my other car out and back into the garage and get the big heavy house vacuum out to do the work, and even with that, some small corners are left un-touched, due to its design.

Right out of the box, I knew that this was the thing that I am looking for! Cordless, meaning I can move around and clean the interior without tripping over wires or worrying that the cable wouldn't be long enough to reach inside. With the thin tip piece (the crevice?), I was able to clean the most difficult spot on the car right between the seat back and the cushion area, where things tend to fall, but never had the chance to get them out.

Following instructions by charging the unit for at least 24 hours right out of the box, it give me around a good two to three weeks of regular use, with minor cleaning every two or three days, or after I give friends and kids a ride. Cleaning it was easy as taking it apart and clean it. I even tried it on my keyboard a couple of times, it worked great, but I guess I will leave it in the car, so that I don't forget and leave it in the room.

Overall, I am very satisfied with this item, though some other reviews made me think twice before getting this, but I am glad I got it, and now I am able to have a clean-er car without having to send it for expensive through cleaning again. Keep one for your car and use it when you get liquid spills or food debris, which happens all the time.

Got this vacuum from Fry's, it worked for a couple of months and today it stopped working. Apparently the impeller has broken loose.Website doesn't have the maintenance manual.

This is the second Wagan Tech product i bought and this one has broken in a short period. Earlier I had bought a 12V compressor and it blew up the fuse of my Honda Odyssey van. Cheap prices=Cheap Quality, never buying Wagan Tech brand again.

HQRP Car Windshield Cradle Suction Cup Mount / Holder and 12V Car Charger for TomTom One XL XL-S pl

HQRP Car Windshield Cradle Suction Cup Mount / Holder and 12V Car Charger for TomTom One XL XL-S plus HQRP Universal Screen Protector
  • HQRP™ Car Mount and Charger plus HQRP™ Universal Screen Protector;
  • Type: Mounting Unit; Designation: Automobile;
  • Type: Car Charger; Designation: Automobile;
  • Plug in this spare car charger into the cigarette lighter and charge the battery of your GPS;
  • Compatible with Li-Ion , Ni-Cd and Ni-Mh batteries.

I bought this package car charger / suction cup / screen protector because my original GPS accessories were old and worn out. I am very satisfied.

The suction cup has a reinforced edge (better seal) that is an upgrade from my original equipment. The charging cord is in line with the connector to the GPS which is a better design than the original equipment "L" shape cord connector end which over time developed a short in the "L" bend of the cord.

Tom Tom's factory direct pricing for these replacement accessories is several times the cost of this package. Great value and good quality.

Coleman Cable 08120 12-Feet Light-Duty Booster Cables, 10-Gauge

Coleman Cable 08120 12-Feet Light-Duty Booster Cables, 10-GaugeThese are not advertised as light duty, but when I got them that's what they are. But hey, I drive a Corolla, they work fine. My manly side wanted some flippin' awesome heavy duty cables, but it's okay.

I read the other reviews when I purchased these, and decided that I didn't need hardcore heavy duty cables for my little Protege. When my battery died, they fired up my car on the first try.

Two weeks later we tried to jump a V8 jeep with these cables and it took about ten minutes of letting the cars sit together before the jeep would start. I don't know the exact physics of this (whether it was the cable or the battery), but when the jeep died again we had better luck with a more intense set of cables.

Since the jeep isn't mine, I'm quite happy with this purchase. They're cheap and they'll get my car started in emergencies.

Got the job done.

Buy Coleman Cable 08120 12-Feet Light-Duty Booster Cables, 10-Gauge Now

Apparentely I didn't read the first guy's review before I purchased these cables because the same thing happened to me. I think I actually saw where it said "heavy duty copper plated steel clamps" and was just thinking heavy duty everything. So although I falsely assumed, it was somewhat misleading at the same time. It's not exactly what I was wanting, but I'm not unhappy enough to return them; I didn't pay a lot for them. Read the reviews and carefully read the fine print!!! Know what you're looking for; all specifications!!!

simple and sweet. there really isn't any need to buy larger and more expensive cables unless you are charging car batteries for a living. These are great, I've used them about 3 times already and they're good as new.

Want Coleman Cable 08120 12-Feet Light-Duty Booster Cables, 10-Gauge Discount?

After leaving my lights on at work, I had to ask around until I found somebody who had cables in their trunk. I immediately went to amazon and picked up a set of jumper cables to keep in my trunk.

These are no frills cables--the cable is decent and the clamps are smallish, but for most cars, these cables will be sufficient.

Jumper cables should be in every person's emergency kit.

High Grade LG NEXUS 4 / Spectrum 2 Anti-Vibration Car Vent or Dash Mount Holder with Easy Release F

High Grade LG NEXUS 4 / Spectrum 2 Anti-Vibration Car Vent or Dash Mount Holder with Easy Release FunctionalityThis product does what it says, but it is parts are absolutely cheap. The plastic is not pleasant to the touch, and it is too lightweight for its size, which makes you think it's fragile. Really hope I am wrong, though...

At $18, this mount is overly overpriced for what it is. I bet the retailer is making around 2000% profit out of it. For example, when I had a Motorola Milestone, I got this MOTOROLA mount that also came with a MOTOROLA car charger for $15 (http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Generation-Vehicle-Charger-Packaging/dp/B002Y3BYQA/). And by buying a more expensive mount that doesn't even come with a charger, I would expect at least similar quality. But this "High Grade Mount" is not even close to it.

This retailer is taking advantage of the fact that Nexus 4 does not have that many accessories out there to use its name and sell cheap stuff at a high price.

Again, don't get me wrong. This mount works as they say. But it can't be called "High Grade" by any means and it is not worth $18.

Kinetik KHC-SPA Side Post Battery Adapter Set

Kinetik KHC-SPA Side Post Battery Adapter Setthis item is the bomb, i had problems with my battery post touching my hood and since i got these adapter my trouble is over

Adapter does what it's supposed to. I wanted to keep factory wires running to Kinetik HC1200, as well as new 0 gauge big 3 upgrade. I'm using these with Kinetic KHC-TP Dual Terminal Top Post Set and they work awesome together. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because my set had excess plastic hanging off on metal connections. Should be cleaner, but I realize I'm really picky.

Altec Lansing IMX2 Laptop Portable Audio

Altec Lansing IMX2 Laptop Portable Audio
  • Product Type - Speaker
  • Localization - English
  • System Components - 1 Piece System
  • Response Bandwidth - N/A

I only rate this as a 3 star purchase because you cannot tell until you get it out of the box that for home/inside use you must use an antenna adapter -that plugs into the side of the XM2GO.

So unlike the factory supplied docking cradle -you cannot just plug the XM2GO in and listen. It requires an (unsightly) extension cord to hook up the antenna.

Once attached the sound is ok though for the price I really think I'd consider playing the XM2GO through a stereo rather than purchasing this device.

Buy Altec Lansing IMX2 Laptop Portable Audio Now

This review is based on the current cost of this unit, which is less than one fifth of the original price.

I do not use this with an XM receiver, I simply use it with a normal mp3 player, so I can not comment on any additional functionality it may have with the receiver (though, by appearance, it seems it does nothing other than have a spot for the antenna to go. It comes with an auxiliary input on the back, and a rather awkward ~4" cable. My mp3 player (a Sandisk Sansa e280) does not really fit in the dock in any manner; ah, the cost of being cheap!

The sound? Well, it isn't impressive, but it isn't going to make anyone retch, either. I'm picky about audio, and could describe in fifty ways how it doesn't sound very good, but, in all honesty, it is no better or worse than the majority of other similar sound docks, the majority of which cost far more.

The unit looks pretty good, just as it does in the photos. Much of it is hard plastic (which resonates and does hurt sound quality), even the speaker grille is thick, hard plastic(a rather questionable build decision, likely decided upon purely from a cost standpoint), though the upper surface where the volume control is a nice soft rubber. The +/volume control is handled by buttons under soft rubber. There's only a bit of tactile feedback, and the volume jump each time you press the button is too large, for fine control I need to change the volume on the mp3 player itself. All in all, I couldn't expect much better out of something that costs so little.

The biggest strength of this unit is that it runs off of 4 AA batteries, gets good battery life (~15 hours off of a set of alkalines), and can play loudly enough without distortion to attain normal listening levels in larger rooms.

If you're in the market for an iPod dock or something similar, and do not see a need for a remote control, clock, or other integration, this is definitely worthy of consideration. If you want real integration with your mp3 player, this is obviously not such a good choice, it's merely a battery powered portable speaker.

If you're looking for a unit that actually sounds good, look away from the plastic sound docks, and take a look at something like the Kloss Model 1.

This device solved my problem of listening to my XM2Go away from the home base...when a whole group of people wanted to hear the music. The speaker is providing great sound with good

amplification. The unit also recharges the XM2Go. The instructions were easy to follow.

I couldn't have been happier with this purchase. It was everything I hoped for. For the money, you couldn't find more clarity in sound. It is definitely worth buying. I use it when I'm camping and have no access to television. I am able to hear the news and music without turning on a television. Who needs a picture anyway.

Motorola Atrix 4G MB860 Combo Rapid Car Charger + Home Wall Charger + USB Data Charge Sync Cable +

Motorola Atrix 4G MB860 Combo Rapid Car Charger + Home Wall Charger + USB Data Charge Sync Cable + Black Horizontal Leather Pouch for Motorola Atrix 4G MB860The power cords fit the Atrix perfectly. The Atrix charges as it should. The only draw back is that when charging with the wall plug and car adapter, you are unable to use the phone while it is charging. The touchscreen does not respond while plugged in. I read about similar results from other people with other aftermarket chargers. It seems that this phone (as well as other phones) tend to be very picky when it comes to different chargers. I did notice however that when using the USB charger, you are able to work the phone normally while charging. The case is nice but fit the phone loosely. Maybe its just not my style but the case will not get any use from me at all. As long as your OK with not being able to use it while charging, this is a great buy for the price and ammount of accessories you get. I would buy it again if i had to.

This is the best price I have heard so for for bundle. We have Saved lot of money. Will buy more of same.

First, let me say thank you for the prompt service. I love my leather pouch and it fits perfectly over the after market case I bought. Also, the wall charger is actually better than the wall charger that came with the phone. It is longer by about a foot and it lights up to let me know that it is getting power. The extra cord length has allowed me to place the phone on a table while it charges. The original cord from motorola was so short that I had to lay the phone on the floor while it charged. The car charger does not work in all of my vehicles. The vendor graciously offered a refund for the defective part or a replacement. I can't believe how much great stuff I got for the price!!! Great value for so little money and EXCELLENT vendor service.

I will be telling all my friends about this.

Thank you so very much for the great cheap stuff!!!

Griffin 9865-TFLEX5G TuneFlex Auto Charger with Flexible Docking Cradle for iPod

Griffin 9865-TFLEX5G TuneFlex Auto Charger with Flexible Docking Cradle for iPod
  • Flexible steel neck that adjusts to any angle, and a cradle that securely grips your iPod Nano
  • Plugs into your car's 12-volt cigarette lighter accessory outlet, providing power and charging your iPod
  • Low-high audio output switch that ensures clear sound without distortion
  • Built-in, 0.125-inch stereo line-out audio jack lets you attach an audio cable directly to your stereo, or run the included cassette adapter into your stereo's tape cassette player
  • Compatibility: iPod (1G only)

Works really well, but tends to droop after awhile. Overall I thinks its worth the price.

Buy Griffin 9865-TFLEX5G TuneFlex Auto Charger with Flexible Docking Cradle for iPod Now

Easy to install and works great with the cassette adapter. The amp. boost feature and level sound could not work better. The one small problem is the 30 GB ipod does not fit tight and on bumpy roads causes the sound to go in and out.

There are only 2 of these things in the market....well, the time I bought it there were only 2. This one and the Ten Technology one. This product is excellent!!!!! 2 things though 1) The switch from high output to low output is basically useless. 2) The rubber thingie that keeps the cradle from moving gets weak in time. But then again, I would really recommend this product!!! I'm getting another one if something happens to this one!

Want Griffin 9865-TFLEX5G TuneFlex Auto Charger with Flexible Docking Cradle for iPod Discount?

This thing moves and wobbles and turns and absolutely will not hold my ipod classic. While trying to set it up right it snapped at the base completely ruining it. I suppose you might like it if you have a lighter ipod like the nano but for me this was a giant pain in the ###. I'm glad I only spent 10 bucks on it instead of 30 or 50.

Don't waste your money.

It's a good product for playing my iPod touch in the car (I don't have an AUX jack). The FM transmitters I tried all had a terrible signal; luckily I have a tape deck so I can use the cassette adapter in this package. The one thing I didn't think about before I bought this was that the charge plug and the headphone jack are both on the bottom of the iPod. That means I can either play my iPod in the car, or I can charge it but not both at one time. (When the adapter is plugged in, you physically can't plug it into the cradle.) I can still sit the device in the cradle so I can look at it and control it while it plays music, but it is kind of a bummer, since I could have just purchased a cassette adapter for much cheaper.

It does seem to fit quite snugly in the cigarette lighter...I haven't tried to remove it yet because I read another review on here where the buyer ruined the entire device and his plug trying to pry the thing out. But, I can easily pull it out enough for the power to disconnect so the green light isn't on all the time. Then I just push it back down if I want to charge.

I also haven't experienced the "drooping" some people have described, but I haven't had the item that long. The control arm is plenty long enough for my car, a Dodge Stratus. It's actually the perfect length.

If you have an iPod touch or iPhone and no way to play it in your car, I'd say the cassette adapter is the way to go, but check around for something that might be less expensive, since this can't charge and play simultaneously anyway.

Schumacher XC103 SpeedCharge Battery Charger with Engine Start

Schumacher XC103 SpeedCharge Battery Charger with Engine StartThe charger works great at charging up my auto car batteries. For a nearly dead battery (0.9 volts), it did not seem to charge as it should for the initial charge (shut down after a while and said it was at 80% charge). I then charged a 2nd time (actual charge at startup was then 40 %), and it charged it correctly. Most batteries charge within 1.5 hours time for autos. The LED yellow lights are very hard to see in the sunlight (they should change the color of these). My only complaint is that the clamps are low quality (cheap) and they should charge a few more dollars and install heavy duty (stronger) clamps.

I really wanted to like this charger: Schumacher XC103 SpeedCharge Battery Charger with Engine Start. On paper it seems to do everything I need. The big problem is that it keeps generating an F06 error code when charging on the Fast Charge Rate setting. The manual says this means "The charger detected that the battery may be getting too hot (thermal runaway)." and that "The charger automatically shuts the current off if it detects the battery may be getting too hot or the battery may have a shorted cell. Have the battery checked or replaced." This means the charging is stopped before the battery is fully charged.

The charger generates the F06 code on two different brand new batteries. Also, if I use the Slow Charge Rate setting the same batteries charge just fine so I do not believe that the batteries are defective. There must be something wrong in the charging logic for the Fast Charge Rate setting.

I tried several times to get Schumacher customer support to help me resolve the problem. The Schumacher support staff is useless. They kept sending me the section from the manual that describes the F06 error code. I already knew this information; which I carefully explained on my initial e-mail to Schumacher and on all subsequent e-mails to Schumacher. They persisted in not answering any of my questions, but just resent the F06 error code section from the manual. When I finally insisted that the charger must be defective Schumacher finally agreed to replace the charger with a new or refurbished charger. Since I just bought the charger a refurbished charger was not an option in my opinion.

Another annoyance is the poorly designed cord storage system. Both the AC and the charging cables are very stiff making them difficult to coil. I'm not sure why the cables need to be this stiff. My old charger had cables that were much easier to coil and stow. In addition the two posts provided for cable storage on the back of the unit are totally inadequate for the task; they simply cannot hold both sets of cables (they barely hold just the AC cable) and it's way too much trouble to try and coil the wires around these posts. The only solution I found was to not use the cable storage posts at all and simply coil the wires. I then used a piece of twine or a velcro strap to keep them coiled (all in all this is a nuisance).

Based on thes problems and the extremely poor customer service, I regretfully decided to return the charger to amazon.com for a full refund.

Uniden BC72XLT Handheld Scanner (Black)

Uniden BC72XLT Handheld ScannerAs they say, "a little bit of knowledge goes a long way..." If you live in or near a big city, this scanner will do absolutely no good because large metropolitan police forces use a trunk communication system due to the large number of units at work at one time. These systems aren't actually scrambled, but due to high volume of calls, it would be hard of a single scanner unit to keep track of them so while you might be able to hear one end of the converstaion, you won't necessarily be able to hear the other.

This unit is perfect for smaller cities which use frequencies betweem 153.0000 and 169.0000 for their police communications. The unit is also good for tracking airport traffic and, as you know by now, NASCAR events. The best thing to do when scanning for new frequencies is to have access to a code book for your area so you'll know what you're listening to at the time.

If you're technologically-challenged in any way, you're better off letting someone who knows what they're doing program the basic channels for you. I like the fact that's it's a lot smaller and not as heavy as its predecesors. It's a conspicuous as a mobile phone and a lot easier to carry on your belt without it getting in the way.

My #1 use for this scanner is for public safety scanning I have family in law enforcement & we like to listen in.

I own a Uniden BC248CLT, & for years I owned a BC80XLT handheld. My BC80XLT was recently damaged & needed replaced. I ordered this BC72XLT, & am ready to return it also. It is not anywhere near the quality my prior Uniden handheld was. My 80 picked up as well or better than my 248 does here at home. This 72 picks up maybe 50% of the traffic of my others--whether in the house, outside, or even right in town. The buttons on this are awful, too. I have to go through multiple steps to do things that took only 1 button press on the 80. The reception, though, is my biggest concern AND complaint. I never had to purchase any extra antenna or such for my other Uniden handheld to get the better reception. Also, the volume, even at max output, is only "normal" listening level--so if I am in a noisy environment, I cannot turn it up to hear it better. My old BC80XLT had much better volume.

An additional warning Uniden's Support has gone down the toilet. I thought Uniden was a company that would at least *acknowledge* my complaint, and maybe even have some suggestions of a better product all I got was an auto reply that I should hear from Customer Service in 2-3 business days--and then I never heard a thing. I checked my support question on their site, and it was marked "closed." Good luck!

Buy Uniden BC72XLT Handheld Scanner (Black) Now

This scanner is everything that I expected it to be. It's small and compact, it's easy to hear, it's easy to program, and it's very useful. The price was very reasonable and it was well worth the money. I don't go a day without listening to it and it goes everywhere with me. The only negative thing about it is the batteries don't last long and when I have it in the car, the signal isn't very strong. If you purchase it, make sure you use rechargeable batteries with it, or if you are home, just keep it plugged in using the adapter that comes with it. Other than that, I highly recommend this scanner to everyone.

This scanner is about as great as they come for its size!

Bearcat has a solid reputation and has been around a long while.

Its loaded with features crammed into a tiny box no bigger than your cell phone and fits well in your shirt pocket.

What I like about it is that it goes anywhere, uses only 2AA batteries, and works a good long time before the juice runs out.

It also comes with an AC adapter that seems to even help boost the signal somewhat.

The reception is very good with its slap on antenna, and 100 channels, 25mhz on up to 512UHF, is more than enough for those most popular and famous citizens band radio, police and emergency frequencies.

You better get one!

POV ACG20 Action Video Camera Sunglasses (Black)

POV ACG20 Action Video Camera SunglassesI bought this with two day shipping.

It came as ordered. Awesome.

After unboxing...Well, I do not know where to begin.

1) item clearly was different than the photos.

2) Item listed on amazon says 3.0 mega pixels, manual clearly states 2.0, this is a false listing on amazon.

3) Item clearly has two buttons for recording, the one I received had 4 with mp3 headphones. None of which I ordered and obviously more noticeable and bulky.

4) attempts to ask manufacturer about the microsd slot, does it use microsdhc or is the older type, have gone unanswered. There is no way to tell if it actually takes a 8gb or not.

5) item listed as 30 FPS, manual states 25-30 FPS with no way to adjust that.

6) Resolution listed on amazon is 736 X 480, manual clearly states this is not so. The actual resolution in manual is 640x480.

7)I set it up to charge, blue light came on, hours later blue light is still on, but nothing works at all. Cannot see it in the computer, cannot change 'mode' etc..this item appears dead.

All in all, I feel like I bought an item off ebay from a d-bag seller who lies and cheats. For this price I expected what I bought, not some old fake pair that does not work.

Stay away from this seller and their products. Me? I am starting the dang refund/return process, this is dung.

These glasses are being shipped back to the vendor. The video camera function did not work. When I tried to record a video it only captured the audio for playback. In addition the still shot pictures were not very clear. Also the manual does not conatain any customer service number or warranty information.

The battery died while I was using it today. Contacted Amazon for a refund and they will send UPS to pick it up tomorrow.

This is my 4th purchase of this from different vendors and this has the best quality so far. The video and sound qualities were good. Unfortunately, the internal battery did not last long. There should be a way to replace the battery myself in case the warranty expires. Not comfortable if I will recommend this to buy. Another thing, I got this for $86 3 weeks ago and now it is on sale for $57 :(

I might try the i-Kam extreme. Hopefully this will last longer...

I bought two of these glasses as gifts. We charged them up for 12 hours as described in the rather brief "manual" and then tried to turn them on and record a video. Immediately we noticed the buttons hurt our hands when we tried to hold them down for 3 seconds (power on) or 5 seconds (record) according the instructions. Both glasses powered on, but neither went into a recording mode. One of the glasses did not power off at all. We tried doing a reset of both glasses to no avail. The glasses do not work and we are returning them today. It is too bad because they are a fun concept. Perhaps another vendor will eventually get it right but in the meantime ... avoid this product.

What a cool toy/gadget! Until it stopped working after about 2 weeks of respectful use. =(

I've attached a "before and after" video. The before video shows how the video looked before the camera arbitrarily stopped working... The after video shows the hopeless pink and green stripes, which is all it will produce now. I treated the glasses with the greatest care, kept them in their case and never dropped them. They just went flakey on their own.

Battery Post and Terminal Cleaner Metal

Battery Post and Terminal Cleaner MetalBought this to clean my top post battery the cap that hides the brush is not made correctly and you have to fight with it to get it to go back on. I expect this to last maybe one more battery cleaning before falling apart. The brushes that clean the post are already coming out from one cleaning of the top posts.

NOT MADE IN THE USA you get one guess where.....will look for a good quality made in the USA one next time.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL...SAVE YOUR MONEY.

One star because it was delivered quickly.....

Male brush under cap does not turn in the battery cable terminal when I twist the housing. Female brush scrubs the battery terminal post OK.

Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but a friend of mine has the same one and I saw how it works. Very handy to keep in the car.

X6000 Portable Car DVR Camera HDMI 2.0 Inch Screen Vehicle Car Dvr Camera Dashboard Night Vision 10

X6000 Portable Car DVR Camera HDMI 2.0 Inch Screen Vehicle Car Dvr Camera Dashboard Night Vision 100 Degree Front 120 Degree Back Wide Angle and dual camera Dvr Car Camera
  • Night Vision
  • 100 Degree Front 120 Degree Back Wide Angle
  • Support HDMI
  • 2.0 inch Screen

The car DVR looks neat and compact, but with windshield mount installed the image is always in a view of the front facing camera. What a stupid design! Installing micro SD card and removing it is a big challenge. If you miss the slot, you are in trouble! Instruction booklet included need microscope to read. GPS sensor isn't detecting location no matter of it's position, so log is renaming in Taiwan map.... Power On and OFF button is marked as "OPEN" Why???? G-sensor setting have no effect on performance. If you connect vehicle power it starts recording right away, with car in park mode and power present (or battery fully charged) it continuing recording till battery drained. Camera quality is OK with good illumination. Evening time is no good. I would not recommend this DVR

The charger line was too short for my car.

I just can give you 3 stars. Sorry.

In April 10, I received the goods, for me. Really let me surprise.

At $79 it's $79 too much. If it get's hot, it doesn't work. Since it sits in your front window of a car (or in a car) the sun shines on it, it will get hot and then it won't work. If the air in your car gets hot, it won't work. A solution would be to remove it when you aren't using the car and lug it around but pulling the GPS connector is a total pain in the butt. When you see the White Screen of Death that it's indication that it's not working. The White Screen of Death shows up anytime the "DVR" gets hot making it highly unreliable as an actual DVR. There is a gap between the card slot and the case. If you aren't careful inserting the card you will end up sticking it into the gap and jam or lose the card. You will need to use a bent wire and tweezers to pull the card out. The instructions suck. The English instructions have the Russian diagram and vice-versa. The broken English is horrible. It is an excellent example of China's poor engineering design and manufacturing capabilities. Putting the cables and card slot on the top makes it difficult to disconnect and remove the device. The latch that holds the DVR to the mounting arm sucks. There is no physical feedback when latching or unlatching that it is connected. Since that side faces the window there is no visibility. Avoid this and find something else unless you want to throw away $79.

***EDIT***

Can't set the stupid time zone on the thing. Right now the time zone is set for GMT +252 hours. Time stamps on files are useless. The speed displayed is never correct. It's at least 10+ miles over actual speed.

This is not HD 1080p. Cameras are max VGA resolution. Does not include USB cable.

Cameras couldnt be set to record front picture at the same time.

Clear video, even in pitch dark condition still able to recrd visible video. Night vision function is a plus. You might not read the license plate of the vehicle in front of you in video only in parking distance. Keep the rear window clean, you still able record the traffic from the back of your car, beside record every action in your car.

Type S Digital Compass

Type S Digital CompassI hope this short reveiew helps others, like the prior ones I read right here on Amazon did for me. This is a nice little unit; it does exactly what I wanted it for. I recently purchased a newer car, my older vehicle had too many gadgets to suit me. I never used three-quarters of the stuff. But the one thing I did like was the compass in the rear-view mirror; hence my purchasing this battery operated compass. A couple of things of note: It said in the instructions that you would need to (ideally) find a large parking lot or space, to basically drive in circles to calibrate. I did that and it still didn't calibrate. So, I thought, since I have wasted almost 15 minutes on this action, I'll do it at another time. But, then, on my way to the grocery store, wham, it calibrated itself. It was easier then the instructions led on. All positives from this end. Not obstuctive sitting on the dash. The sticking unit for the base holds it down really good. The ONLY thing I wish is (that is why I didn't give 5 stars), that the little light that goes on for a couple of seconds when you press it, would stay on longer, or maybe constantly when pressed once. Then shut off when pressed again. Otherwise, I don't think you will be disappointed in your purchase.

It looks nice, it works good and accurate. Has a lightning button which lasts for a few seconds at night, and an auto-turn off feature. Warns when batteries run on low, however can run for a rather long time after it.

Even though I have a portable Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS system, which works very well, I find I often need to know in exactly which direction I am headed, e.g., when the Nuvi says, "Go north to ..." I had purchased one of these compasses for one of my vehicles, and decided to buy one for the other.

I have found that it works very well, once it is calibrated, unless the batteries vibrate loose. It was very difficult for me to figure out how to open the battery compartment, since they provide no understandable instructions, but very easy to do so once I figured it out. I wish the backlight would stay on longer after being turned on. I find it interesting to see how much the direction shown changes before and after calibration, i.e., after it has adjusted for the car's magnetic field with the engine running.

The compass was easy to calibrate and works fine, but it is limited if used at night. Although there is a button to push to provide light, the light doesn't stay on. This is a severe limitation for night driving. An on/off switch to keep the light on as long as desired would be preferred. As configured at present it could be less than safe to have to fiddle with finding the light button in the dark.

My truck has a fancy-shmancy mirror with built-in compass and thermometer. When I got a used car, I missed those features so I bought a Type S digital compass and a taylor 1522 thermometer (thermometer reviewed separately). Some of the reviewers complained that they couldn't calibrate the compass. The ones who had trouble seemed to be the ones who drove in tight circles. I hit the calibration button and drove around the block once and it calibrated easily. I don't know how accurate it is because I don't have anything to compare it to, but it gives me the basic information I need. My only complaint is that it is clearly designed to be mounted to a horizontal surface like on top of the dashboard; and there are no screw holes or slots. You are supposed to use velcro, which doesn't provide much stability. I don't want anything sticking up from my dashboard so I made a bracket out of angle iron which I screwed to a spot on front of the dash next to the steering column. It looks okay there but still moves around quite a bit because of the velcro. I may have to find a way to clamp it down better.

Bluetooth Handsfree In-car Visor Kit for All Motorola Phones

Bluetooth Handsfree In-car Visor Kit for All Motorola PhonesI don't know how this product works. My phone tells me it is connected but nothing happens other than a blinking red light. There are no instructions and no support. I feel cheated!

This hands free kit works well. Very good volume. Holds charge for very long and the range is quite good. There are times I may forget to switch it off when not in use and it still keeps charge for long. I would recommend this product.
