Bearing this in mind, the Garmin BC 40 would be a much more budget-friendly option, especially if you already own a supported GPS device. Thankfully it was covered under warranty, but the camera itself was several hundred dollars and the labor was about the same. With the stock backup camera having failed in my wife’s car a couple years back, I quickly learned how costly they can be to replace. With the warranty having recently expired, the new Garmin backup camera would be a quick and easy replacement solution if the one in my vehicle goes out anytime soon. It was the highest trim offered so it came with a backup camera installed. According to Garmin, orders placed today will be processed within the next 1-3 business days. There is no Amazon listing yet, but we anticipate that one will appear in short order. The new Garmin BC 40 backup camera is priced at $149.99, and can be ordered directly from Garmin. “After a simple setup, drivers will have immediate access to a rugged camera that withstands harsh road conditions, while also offering a crystal clear backup view.” Pricing and availability “Thanks to the BC 40, drivers finally have a quick and easy way to seamlessly blend a wireless backup camera to the back of a vehicle without having to rely on professional installation services,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin worldwide vice president of consumer sales. Garmin particularly calls out the DriveSmart 55 and 65 initially, but the page it currently links to for all of its supported units is down at the moment. Unlike many of the existing aftermarket backup camera’s, Garmin dodges the need to install a dedicated monitor by making it work with some of its GPS devices. A single charge will last up to three months. It has extra features like Driver Alerts to warn you of potential dangers up ahead and Real Directions, which gives you directions like a friend would, with landmarks and buildings. In Garmin’s case, it’s two AAs, keeping maintenance straight-forward and simple. The Garmin Drive 50 GPS does double duty as a monitor for your backup camera and as a top-notch navigational system. Similar to Nonda’s ZUS, the new Garmin backup camera simply attaches to the top of a license plate and runs on replaceable batteries. Given the fact that the old model required users to run some wires and the new one doesn’t, it’s a bummer that Garmin simply incremented the model number to BC 40 and moved on.
