    I bought a digital rear view mirror that takes two inputs. You can have two cameras, one for reversing, one as a rearview. The screen is actually two layers, an LCD screen, and a mirror, so you still have mirror functionality. You can adjust the image anywhere you like, full screen, 1/4 left, 1/4 right, and so on. I ran it through a toggle that also powers my CB, inverter...camera is always on when I drive. Been about 9 months, no problems yet.

    Thats awesome, I have a rearview camera that I fitted into the JDM housing. It looks great on the VX but functions poorly. The screen is too small and the picture gets washed out by light.

    Would you please let me know where you got it Marlin? It seems like time for an upgrade

    Got it at the World's junkyard....EBay It was under 200, took about 2 hours to install (I would classify myself is a very avid DIYer, and I am an electrician by trade.)

    I really like it too Marlin.

    Electrician by day, welder by night....

    Been thinkin, if I had you fab up a rear bumper for me I wouldn't need a rear camera.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..

    my rear camera

    I bought from Pep boys for $99 on sale they wanted $300 to install, I took it to a stereo place that was slow that day and got it installed for $76 and it looks good. It is back up only the only problem has been the glue does not hold the display screen up in the heat it comes unstuck. Quality is not bad either the lens is mounted on the top of my license plate so it can not even be seen.

    I've had this ebay night vision Chinese (kinda cheap) on my VX for alittle over 5 years now and it's still holding up and doing good


    And this was the Monitor I used back then also (it was a cheap Chinese model also), but after about 4 years it started to lose it's clarity and the motorized function was getting loose and grinding



    I also had a slim PS2 mounted in the glove box so movies could be played along with a wireless controller so my daughter could play games on road trips


    I still use the same night vision camera but have upgraded to a Pioneer motorized touch screen DVD, ipod, XM, TV, 2 Video inputs etc and have pulled the PS2.
