Backup camera added!
I received this unit and I am overall very pleased with it. The rearview mirror is solidly built and was a bit bigger than my OEM unit. I did the bench test as recommended before I did the install. Everything was fine and I cannot stress how important it is to do this; do not skip it.I have a 2003 Toyota Highlander and I looked up a video on how to remove the plastic rear door covers and side post covers. Very easy once you see it done. I then mounted the camera above the plate, but this position does make me need to be more careful when opening the back, it is right under the latch. I drilled a hole the proper size to pass the camera cable than ran the cable up to the top and through the rubber wire tube that goes from the door to the car. From there is was a matter of routing the wire to the left side light cluster.I mounted the rearview/monitor using the existing shoe on the glass after removing the OEM unit. I then wired the monitor directly into the wire harness that runs above the roof console. There is a switched 12V source and ground in the plug and I just used the crimp slices to tap in after cutting the monitor wire shorter and stripping it. Remeber to hook the monitor to a SWITCHED 12V line otherwise you will drain your batters. I did not need to use the 12V plug and route the wires around and it looks great.The camera picture is a little washed out in the daytime, so I added a little tape to the light sensor and now the brightness is perfect. Night view is amazing and crystal clear. A great low-cost safety addition to my 2003!

Best to install by yourself
The system is quite easy to install and I recommend to do it yourself as the main issue is that it may take some time depending on your type of car and you are therefore more likely to do it properly than a professional who will want to rush through it for its fixed fee. As a friend of mine just installed a rearview camera on a sedan, I had not realized that installing it on an SUV or minivan takes longer but it is not really more difficult. The issue is that your reverse light is likely to be on the fixed side of the car and your license plate on the opening hatch. You then have to feed the power for the rear end from the side of your SUV/minivan and run a cable first into your cargo space to install the transmitter and then run it around the fixed side of the hatch opening, cross to the hatch at the top following a hinge or a cable-crossing and then back down to the bottom of the hatch to the inner opposite side of the license plate. Plenty of cable length is provided and it is just a matter of fixing and hiding it along the way. Even if it was a bit stuck, removing the mirror was a simple job after getting specific instructions on the web and its base was readily compatible with the new mirror. I also found instructions on the web on how to best remove the tail light cluster to clamp the power from the reverse light. The transmitter with its antenna is a bit bulky compared to my friend's that was minuscule and right at the back of the camera but I was able to hide it behind a trap in my cargo area and it is pretty powerful and the image comes up on rearwiew mirror in about one second when you put the car on reverse. I originally had the front part powered from the cigarette lighter but I was not happy with the power cable hanging down across the windshield. The cable is long enough to go around the windshield but as I read from posted comments it was possible to power the mirror screen from the map light that is just close by, I modified it so. First word of caution, it will involved cutting the cable so once this is done, you are committed. By cutting the cable from the mirror, you will find 3 thin wires, red, black and white. The red is to be connected with the 12 volt for power, the black is to be the ground and you do not worry about the white that does not appear to have a function but those 3 wiresw are pretty thin. Second word of caution, the wires feeding the map light in my car are also very thin but having a power sunroof, I was able to use its wires that are much thicker. Third word of caution, in my car, the 12-volt feed wire on the sunroof is back ( the red one does not carry power, thank you Mazda for the time lost figuring it out) to be connected with the red from the mirror and I connected the black wire from the mirror to a screw on the roof for grounding. It would have beeen nice for the manufacturer to anticipate this mounting as an option as it should not be more difficult than obtaining the power from the reverse light at the back and I think that most of us would want to install it this way. The mirror feels sturdy and of good quality and the 170-degree camera provides a wide angle view of the back. When driving forward, you cannot tell that a display screen is hidden behind on the left part of your mirror. Finally the image on the screen shows well the detail , is very stable, but in our bright southern sun shining on light grey concrete roads, the image comes out too white with a sort of a glare. I installed a makeshift visor on top of the camera but it did not improve things. I guess that to be able to see correctly when it is dark, the camera has to be a bit oversensitive to the light when it is fully bright. All in all, very satisfied with the product.

Very good overall with an easy install
Very good overall with the simplicity of a wireless install. Good picture and decent mirror. I installed this system on a 2017 Nissan Frontier S 2WD which did not come with a back up camera. First I'll go into the two drawbacks that drop it to four stars;1) The picture is too bright for night time use. I use all of my mirrors for backing up, always have and always will. If I glance up at my rear view mirror when backing at night up I can't see anything in the mirror and boom there goes my night vision. I did not have this problem with the OEM screen in mirror back up system in my Chevy Silverado which dimmed appropriately at night.2) The mirror is a single pivot. That basically means its adjustable only for mirror angle not for height. I'm 6'2" tall and my rear view mirrors are usually pushed all the way up so that I can see under them to the right. I'm going to have to install a second mounting base higher on the windshield so that this mirror is not in my sight line to the passenger side.Now for the good. The picture is bright and usable in all lighting during the day. The mirror is decent, while it doesn't have a day night lever it is tinted a bit darker that the OEM mirror which is a good compromise for day and night use. The backup picture comes up almost instantly when the truck is placed in reverse and does not flicker at all. I installed the transmitter high in the truck bed with a clear view to the mirror so this may help. As with any license plate mounted camera on a pickup truck the camera is mounted too low to give a good angle, and thus distance, to objects you are backing up to but it's still much better than looking over the tailgate and good enough for hooking up a trailer. The angle wouldn't be an issue on an SUV or sedan install since the license plate is higher over the rear bumper. The install was quick and easy but this was aided more by my mechanical and electrical ability than by the instructions which by nature are a bit vague by having to cover any vehicle.The install was straight forward. The mirror mounted up on the OEM mounting puck and I wired the mirror to the dome light power in the overhead. Nissan made this easy, I didn't even have to test the wires that I spliced into since they were red and black for power and ground, and yellow to the door switch. At the back end the camera mounted easily to the license plate and I ran the wire over to the drivers side tail gate post. i was able to snake the wire up to the tail light cavity through existing openings. From there i drilled a hole into the bed so that I could mount everything else up under the top bed rail inside the bed. I initially taped the red on the backup light for power and went to a screw on the vehicle for ground as per the instructions and the camera did not work. Oddly this setup only gave me 6 volts even after confirming that I had a good ground. Something odd in Nissan's wiring? So I switched the ground wire to the black off of the back up light and viola 12 volts and everything worked.All in all a good product for $140. An easy install and worth it if you have to hook up trailers or back up tight to other vehicles frequently like I do.Update 12/12/19; I mounted a second puck for the mirror right above the existing one and now the mirror is the right height, the mirror is no longer in my sight line when I look to the right. It's amazing that 1 1/4 inch can make such a difference.I changed the wiring from the dome light wiring down to the cigarette lighter plug. I knew the mirror would draw a bit of power overnight hooked up to the dome light power but I didn't think it would be too much considering how many things draw power when the car is off now a days. Any way after the mirror install my truck sat for four days and was a bit sluggish on a cold morning start up so I decided to change the mirror to a switched power source.

Perfect answer to not having a back up camera
I bought this item with high hopes, and it met them even further than I expected. Installation isn’t too difficult if you followed the steps correctly and you crimp the wires properly try using a clamp or something to really crimp down on the wiring. it works every day. I sometimes have to clean the camera because it gets dirt on it but it also comes with a beautiful back up light as well. This thing is awesome. I recommended to anybody and everybody who doesn’t have a back-up camera.

Toller Spiegel-Monitor mit super optischer Übertragung!!!
The media could not be loaded. Wir haben den Rückspiegel-Monitor zusammen mit der passenden Kamera für unseren Oldtimer gekauft. Auch an einemso alten Auto möchte man Schäden vermeiden und trotz des Alters einen gewissen Komfort genießen. Der Spiegel-Monitorüberträgt das Bild der Kamera optisch super. Es ist klar und scharf!So wird das Einparken, gerade mit großem und schlecht überschaubarem Fahrzeug, ein Kinderspiel.Der Stromanschluss und Verbindung zur Kamera erfolgt über das Rücklicht. So ist sicher gestellt, dass der Monitor das Bild nichtpermanent, sondern nur bei Schalten in den Rückwärtsgang einblendet. Das Verbindungskabel ist mit 6 Metern auch gut für großebzw. lange Fahrzeuge wie unseren Geländewagen-Oldtimer geeignet. Zum Spiegel werden verschieden Adapter zur Installation geliefert.Sollte wie bei uns aber nicht der Richtige Adapter dabei sein (eben Oldtimer) kann man sich an den Anbieter wenden.Eine tolle Investition zum einfachen Nachrüsten!!!

Pretty Good in Most Ways - Small Glitch
I was impressed with the quality of the product and it comes with everything you could possibly need to install it in a variety of options. Installed easy. Excellent, clear, very bright picture. Only issue is it 'ghosts' occasionally at random, that is, while driving along the backup picture will come on very static-ish, like a weak signal, for anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes. Nothing you can do to stop it while power is on. Other than that, it's great! Used it for almost a year now in Hyundai Santa Fe.
