 It works, but so do you! You'll be resetting it often if it's like mine.Feb 26, 2010
By S. Wildman
I bought my unit last year to use in my SUV, an inexpensive way to replace a much more expensive system that came built in.
Unfortunately, although it does operate, every time that I pass anyone who has a similar type camera transmitting, the system locks up and won't do anything until I actually hit the reset button and then go through the process of reprogramming settings. This also happens just driving by certain businesses that have security cameras that it picks up. Today, I actually saw a young boy getting a haircut while sitting at an intersection. Of course, the GPS doesn't work when the camera is active.
It does keep your favorites which helps, but the other settings get reset to default.
It does have an excellent back up view when in reverse, but it's more like an ordinary camera with a panoramic view, than specifically a "rear view" camera with the grid lines that most have. Still, gives a great view in daytime and it's just a little bit of a grainy picture at night.
Extras: After loading a 2G MMC/flash memory card, it worked with the programs, but kept giving messages of needing more memory for the GPS system & wanted to use my memory card. Questionable at best, I expected the unit to at least operate on it's own built in storage and that bothers me. It does for the most part, and no mention when the card isn't installed.
GPS: Quickly boots up & identifies the location. Fairly good routing, choices are limited and a bit more trouble than getting used to a TomTom, or for that matter, my Magellan Roadmate. You can still get downloaded voices & color schemes, but the speaker isn't well designed apparently as it sounds very scratchy for most instructions and especially if you try to listen to any good music on it.
I got mine for less than 100.00, so I really can't complain. I am spending the big bucks though-to get the OEM system completed, then I'll probably use my TomTom again or the Magellan Roadmate 700 that I still have. I only bought this for the B/U camera function and didn't want 2 units.
Good luck whichever way you go.

 Works AdequatelyJul 22, 2011

The total unit works as described, but be careful to use an uncoiled car adapter to power the screen. If you use a spare car adapter with a coil cord you will get interference through the wire and get a snowy picture overlay over the actual transmission.

 Save your moneyNov 10, 2011
By guitarman
Like many "combo" units, the VR3 does not do either function well. The color on the camera is poor. The scope of the camera is very narrow. Because the color is so poor, I find I have trouble defining the images I see on the screen. The GPS is impossible to understand. I have read and reread the instruction book and still cannot make many of the functions work. The audio is not very loud. I drive a diesel pick-up and I cannot hear the unit at all. In daylight, I also cannot see the screen very well. I previously had a wireless back-up camera only and it worked extremely well. I paid about $79.00 for it. It was a different brand. I sold the truck and let the camera go with it. I also have an older Garmin GPS with which I am very pleased. I thought the VR3 would be a good unit to replace both. Wrong ! I am going to buy a back-up camera like the one I had and go back to my Garmin.
