anyone have one of these? i ordered this 7" monitor off ebay for $50 bucks and im wondering how big it'll look in the car. and if anyone is starting to hate me because they think im just gonna clip it on dont worry im planning on shaving the clips and epoxying on the mounting hardware(not sure of the official name for the part that goes from the windshield to the back of the mirror) from an old rearview mirror onto the back of this one. if it goes well maybe ill post up a how to.

So i installed this thing a couple weeks ago and i have to admit its probably not for everyone but i like it. first off its big, the width is the same as the factory mirror but its about 1.5" taller so its quite noticeable. also the mirror function of it isnt so great, during the day its fine but at night its marginally useless. Installation was a breeze, i wired it up to the backup light so it turns on as soon as you put it into reverse but there's 2 power sources one for reverse and one for A/V so i can use it to watch videos also. the monitor originally was a clip on so i took of the brackets and used some double sided tape to attach the factory mirror mounting bracket from a broken mirror off my old 69 continental(which i shouldve never sold:mad:) Overall im happy with it and it only costed me $60 for the monitor and camera:cool:.

Damn that thing is freakin huge! I guess its really only useful for parking right?

Hows the visuals while driving at night with someone behind you? Does the headlights of the other cars make it unviewable?

The mirror is kinda dimmed so the headlights of other cars are the only thing that help me see at night, its like driving at night with your mirror flipped to dim and there's no light around, you cant see anything.

I had one similar a year or so ago. I took it off and got a pioneer radio with nav. The mirror looked out of place on my car.

I still have it sitting in the box. If you like it, hey, thats all that matters.
