    i saw this the other day at wal mart, and it is a very nice picture, and the options of flipping the picture around 360 was nice for different installs, and it "reversed" the picture also, dont know how to explain that one, but it did it. look forward to see how it holds up.
    good job.

    I installed the same unit on my 99 VX. I placed the monitor on the driver's sunvisor and hard wired it in. I just flip it down when I am backing up. I placed the camera on the rear license plate. At night there is plenty of light from the backup lights to see. For less than $100, I think its a good deal.

    Camera still works well, and it is worth the $100.

    Not too happy with mine actually, I have got the fogging that was mentioned in an above post, and it really doesn't seem to go away. I have not done anything to try and waterproof it though. I need to try to take it apart and clean it out, then either silicone around the edges or superglue as I had mentioned before. Other than that one achillies heel, it works great, just make sure to take the time to waterproof it. As far as mounting it somewhere, I just sit it in my ashtray, and for the most part it is content to stay there on its own.

    camera

    I modified mine to fit where the factory one goes. It worked great for a while. Problems arrised when I let my sister use it when her car was in an accident. I was out of town and she brought it back and it was covered with road salt. That salt damaged the plastic lense cover. It also had the moisture problems but I took it apart and cleaned that but the plastic lens cover is hazey. I guess you get what you pay for. So mine still works, camera works fine but the lense cover is messed up.
