Garmin® makes it easy to see behind vehicles with the new wireless BC™ 40 backup camera
Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today
announced a fresh iteration to its backup camera solution with the
all-new
BC
40
, the company’s first wireless backup camera. The weatherproof1
BC 40 wirelessly pairs with a compatible Wi-Fi® enabled
Garmin GPS navigator2 and allows drivers to confidently see a
wide, clear view from the backup camera on the navigation display to
help encourage a safer driving experience. The battery-powered BC 40
also includes its own license plate mounting bracket so users can
quickly and easily snap the camera to the back of a vehicle3,
no drilling or wiring required.
“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. “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.”
Garmin reinforces ease-of-use and convenience by allowing drivers to use
a specific button from the navigation display to control the BC 40, or
by talking to the navigator through voice controls to conveniently
activate the camera view. The new BC 40 is powered by two AA batteries4
and with average use, its expected battery life is up to three months.
The Garmin BC 40 Wireless Backup Camera is available now with a
suggested retail price of $149.99. To learn more click here,
