I put it under the rear bumper of my 2003 Tundra and it's held up well in the rain, but I don't believe it's completely waterproof, and I'm not sure why you'd submerge it in water.
It beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beep
I'm not sure what the current draw specs are, but I wired it in parallel with the backup light on my 2018 Silverado over a year ago.
I used my own wire because the existing one on the unit was too short. I connected to the wiring for my backup lights. The difficulty in connecting is always dependent on the make and model of vehicle you have; as a backyard mechanic, I must rely on my own experience. I hope you find this information useful.

I've installed them under the rear bumpers of two of my vehicles, a Toyota Prius and a Honda Odyssey, and they've lasted two seasons in Minnesota cold and salt. I muffled the buzzer a little with black duct tape. Because the Prius reverses almost silently under electric power, the buzzer attracts the attention of distracted pedestrians. The buzzer, in my opinion, is just as important (if not more so) than a rear-view mirror. look at the camera I used the vehicle frame as a negative ground and the backup lamp as a hot voltage source.
I'm not looking around in the parking lot. It took me 15 minutes to set up. removing the plastic tail light assembly from the back. a strong painted metal bracket is included for mounting. Two wires should be connected to the wiring of the taillights. on our Dodge Ram pickup truck from the year 1996 DONNY. br>Screw twilight all together like it's supposed to be. Loud to the point of being deafeningly so. BEEB. BEEB as you reverse the tranny lever. It appears to paralyze those who are not paying attention to where they are walking in parking lots while memorizing and unaware while on the phone.
Okay, I admit that my usage is unusual. I bought this to put on my 2015 Audi Q5. This vehicle is a little strange. The backup lights are located in the lower bumper and can be difficult to see during the day. As a result, when I begin backing out of parking spaces, it appears that people are constantly walking behind my car. Someone will be hit because they emerge from behind other tall vehicles and I am unable to see them. As a result, let's inform them that I'll be backing them up, and if they flee in terror, we'll have a good laugh! br>br>I removed the left bumper light and replaced it with this one, which I mounted behind the bumper on an unused mounting stud. This will shield the device from the elements in some way. This appears to be a common occurrence in VW/Audi vehicles. I used 3M taps for the wiring and added a short pigtail to it, which I connected to the reverse wiring at the bumper light plugs. br>br>This backup alarm is set to a decibel level of 100. This isn't a particularly loud volume. The noise is an obnoxious beeping sound. It certainly catches the eye. If it wasn't mounted behind the bumper, I'm sure it'd be louder. br>br>It's a win for me with this device. Because of the pigtail's short length, it was docked one point. EDIT: br>br> After only two years, the project was abandoned. There is a short circuit in the wiring connection to the device, and it must be replaced.
I was concerned that these would be too loud for my application, but they were no louder than a cheap one I picked up off the shelf at a parts store years ago. Because I purchased it for my car, the volume was adequate. I purchased a second one for my step-daughter. van truck for work Perhaps louder would have been better for that application. I've had it on the van for about 6 months and it's still going strong. After a while, the old one I replaced began to sound like a squeaking duck. These appear to be more substantial than the previous one, despite the fact that they are not made of metal. They were, however, relatively inexpensive and small. These aren't the kind of heavy-duty industrial alarms you'd find in a factory. I purchased these in the first place because they were advertised as waterproof, and in the second place because they were reasonably priced.
I also had a mechanic install an under-dash switch on the alarm so that I can turn it off late at night when backing into my carport and not wake the neighbors.
I have a Volvo Xc90 from the mid-2000s, so I simply removed the back panel, removed the light, stripped part of the wire to the reverse light, attached (and grounded), and was done in twenty minutes. Although not as loud as the typical larger truck alerts, it was adequate for my needs. People walk on their phones far too often, so I'm hoping I won't be the one to run them over.
It appears to be well-made and weather-resistant. I was relieved to discover that it came with a bracket. In terms of volume, the beeping is just right. Installed in a 2013 Toyota Sienna, it's hard to beat for the price.
This is the second time I've purchased this item for each of my vehicles. The product was simple to set up, and even I, a non-technical person, could do it. The wiring was able to be run from the back-end by a mechanic. up light. via the pickup truck Installing the product, as well as the under carriage, is a breeze. produces a loud (but not excessively so) sound. Great product with a small footprint that I would recommend to anyone looking to improve the safety of their family's vehicle(s).
