I wanted a discrete camera for my Eclipse that added a touch of sophistication. My intention with this product was to upgrade the safety and fun while driving; both of these were not achieved.
Negative Notes:
1.) It’s horrible on dark stretches of freeway. Headlights appear as large globes of light.
2.) It lights up the cabin of the vehicle like the 4th of July even on the lowest brightness setting.
3.) The native full-screen setting distorts the image to badly, they shouldn’t claim it to be “crystal clear.”
4.) When the vehicle is on, the screen displays horizontal lines from the electrical system.
5.) I professionally installed the screen and camera adding an additional 125.00 to the total cost.
6.) The screen lost several pixels on the first day of use.
7.) The weight of the screen and bumps in the road cause the rear view mirror to slowly move downward every 5 minutes.
8.) If you have a sunroof, the screen is nearly impossible to make out. You mainly see the occupants in the car you’re in due to the reflective surface of the screen.
9.) Polarized sunglasses inhibit the resolution.
10.) It blocks the driver’s view so bad, you’re constantly bending down to look under it. Bad for freeway merging traffic.
11.) When changing view settings this device sometimes gives a “no connection detected” blue screen. The remote control doesn’t have this issue.
12.) It partially blocks registration tags on CA vehicles when mounted on the top license plate.
Positive Notes:
1.) It’s cool at first.
2.) Works well at night in lit city streets.
Advice:
1.) I would install it somewhere else other than the rear view mirror.

This is A very good deal on A bace model camera & monitor. I did find the rear view mirror A little dark for normal use. But you can also mount the mirror-monitor on your visor with A couple straps of your choice if it bothers you too much.

Got this for our minivan, since we were worried about backing over kids in the blind spot right behind the bumper. The monitor/mirror is big, bigger than I thought it would be looking at the picture, but it was ok in our vehicle. The camera installed on the license plate. The difficulty with the installation is running all the wires. I tapped into the brake lights to power on the monitor automatically when in reverse. I ran power from the cigarette lighter to the camera and monitor, and I can turn on the monitor and see the image from the camera at any time the car is on. You can also install another video source, but not sure that’s a good idea to have a video playing on your rear-view mirror… The included instructions are nearly worthless (actually label wires the wrong color), so the installer mostly needs to use trial and error. Works great now, just how I hoped, but would have reservations recommending to anybody who isn’t either experienced in custom installation or gutsy enough to try it.
