The hardest part was mounting the camera in the half moon. (It just didn't look right) and the screen was hard to see. I kind of found it to be useless and removed it and bought a new half moon piece and I am back to guessing whats behind me. LOL
    Great Thanks for the input. I have not had time to heat up the garage and take a look at it yet. I'm not sure if returning it is an option...lol
    It is a pretty small screen. Now you got me thinking some new speakers in the back might be nice.

    Yea. When trying to make the camera look where you need it to, It had to stick out through the punch out in the half moon piece and it looked like it didn't belong. It seemed to work good but the screen was so small and you really could not tell how far away a object was. You could hook it up temporarily and see what I mean. Also if there is not enough light you can't see anything. Sorry for the bad news. But I would hate to see you go through what I did and not be happy. Other things I didn't like were the blinking blue LED that tell that tell you it is on. It is really annoying at low light and it seemed to pick up interferance in the same spots in the road (electric lines, fire departments some street signals) and the screen would act like it was trying to turn on. The blue sceen would come on and then gray and black fuzzy lines would appear.
