Well, it is definately bigger than I initially imagined... lol. Boy can I really see behind me. Much better than stock and with the 170 degree field of view, I have fewer blind spot. More importantly, I will be able to see kids or other small jewels that's hiding back there. But I do like it and glad I did it
Pros: fewer blind spots, wider view, works at night, can quickly be put on and off, have forward view.
negatives are: big, pixelated, and long distance is harder to see.

No. From my experience it was horrible... It would be 10x better to put one looking at each tire. I did a fornt axle mount and found it never looking where i needed and it made me worse by u sing it. Better of just learning where your tires are.

One thing I would be curious about is how is splash up on the camera? Driving in the wet the back and rear window get hard to see out of (luckily there is a wiper for hardtops), is your camera location in a place that you can see clearly out of it in wet weather driving?

I originally had it under the spare tire but head lights really made it tough to see at night. I moved it above the tire and that really helped. What I really need is a better quality camera. The new camera I purchased is much better than the one that comes with the mirror, but it is still not good enough. I am going to do my home work on quality camera's.
If you are looking at them, I would suggest you get a mirror that reflects and has a display so you get the best of both worlds.
As for forward view, the camera that came with the screen is crap and I don't have 170 degree view like the new one I purchased so my view is limited. I can't see my tire and agree it won't help if I can't see my tire placement.
