Rear View LCD Screen

Jakg · 11th October 2010, 22:18

Ok, been toying with the idea of a reversing camera recently, but wanted a way to mount a screen that didnt look terrible... and then I found this.

Anyone have any opinions at all? Got no problems with the installation side, just wondered if it's worth the £50...

Thanks for the offer, but it's $250... little bit more than I was looking for, as for that price I might as well just buy the Double DIN head unit.

All I wanted was a device that was a mirror when off, and then on would display a video feed - I don't need any built in GPS etc. I've seen kits on eBay for roughly £55...

Never got round to putting any details up (been in the car for ages), but the mirror / camera cost me ~£60.

OMG, in the video at least that looks massive - can you still see out the windscreen?

I will admit it is a little on the large side...
