## What is Rand McNally Wi?

The Rand McNally Wi-Fi® Backup Camera works with your iPhones to give a full-screen picture of what’s behind your vehicle. There’s no need for an extra dashboard screen; just download the camera app on your smart phone, install the camera, and go. Features include:
·        High-quality digital video

·        Video that is visible at night or in low light

·        Easier installation than hard-wired cameras

The camera attaches simply via the license plate bracket. A Wi-Fi transmitter with antenna sends the image to the device screen via the app. The image shows automatically on the app screen once the Wi-Fi connection is established.

## Key features

- Full-screen vehicle view
- High-quality digital video
- Night and low-light visibility
- Easy license plate installation
- Wireless Wi-Fi transmission

### 1/5 — No respect for the customers

*2025-06-06, version 1.6*

This company doesn't respect their customers. No development of the product and no Android app.

### 1/5 — Fix your app

*2024-05-05, version 1.6*

I’ll never buy another one of your products.  You have no follow through

### 1/5 — Backup camera

*2021-07-22, version 1.6*

Will this app backup camera website work on iPhone 11

### 1/5 — No Wi-Fi connection detected

*2020-10-12, version 1.6*

This used to work fine. It’s been a long time since I used it and now I get “ No Wi-Fi connection detected” when I open the app. 

I’ve called for support three times with no resulted.

### 1/5 — Does not work with update

*2020-09-21, version 1.6*

Does not work with updated iOS. The good news is there is an app called RoadVue that works even better with added bonus of ability to screen capture or record.

### 1/5 — Doesnt work on iphones

*2020-07-13, version 1.6*

It connects to the camera just fine, but no internet connection errors and app goes back to the setup screen. Useless with iphones.  Would give no stars if i could.

### 1/5 — Back up camera

*2019-12-03, version 1.6*

Unit worked fine until a few months ago when apple updated the OS and rand McNally didn’t keep up. Now the unit will not connect and after contacting support I have no idea when it’s going to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Need to be updated for IOS 13

*2019-11-16, version 1.6*

After the update it no longer functions correctly. It shows video for a second and then says it is not connected to WiFi. Please fix issue

### 5/5 — No WiFi connected

*2019-11-06, version 1.6*

***update to my complaint. This is a temporary solution to everyone. Download the app “RoadVue” connect to your Rand McNally WiFi camera then open the RoadVue app. It will work with this camera. Also allows you to record video and take photos of the images/video and ability to export. Hope this helps everyone. 

Briefly shows the video but quickly pops up a msg saying “No WiFi Connected”. What is the problem?? Worked great before. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled and made absolute sure that the WiFi is connected and in range. Are you going to fix this issue?  I use this system with two camera one for the inside of my cargo trailer and one on the back of the cargo trailer. Never had this problem until after iPhone update. Please advise.

### 1/5 — Wi fi error message

*2019-10-31, version 1.6*

Shows video but has a permanent “not connected to wifi message” that blocks most of the screen. Any fixes? Seems like an easy bug fix.
