Fit System Vision System VS8 Rear View Monitor System with 3 1/2" LED Monitor and CCD Camera

The mirror itself is excellent, and the camera also works nicely. The best part is that there is actually a company that stands behind their product, which is often not the case in these non-name brand electronics. I originally thought my mirror was defective because it would not switch the camera on while in reverse. I was able to call their quality control guy directly and describe my problem and he started to look into it. That same night though I realized that it was due to a voltage drop that was occuring when my truck was pulled into reverse. For some reason the power I had tapped drops in voltage from 12v to 10v when put into reverse. I found a better power source and all is well. But the company has good communication and I do believe they will take care of you if anything goes wrong. Assuming you pick the right spots to wire everything to you should be able to do the job within an hour or so (with some variation depending on how much trim you have to remove).To answer some of the concerns others have mentioned. Yes, there is a slight impression of the monitor box visible in the mirror. How visible it is will depend on how much light is in your vehicle. If your vehicle is dark enough inside you will not see it at all. Even with a ton of light it is not distracting at all though. The camera works well in both day and night-time conditions. There are no line markers to aid with parking, but if you aim the camera right, you can set it up so that the bottom of the camera reflects where the red line marker would be if one existed. The mirror optics are pretty good. I don't find it to be noticeably darker than my OEM mirror. I've heard of people stealing these cameras, so be mindful that if you mount it on the license plate it will be very obvious. I mounted mine under my bumper, but I have a truck with a slight lift to it so that might not work for you. I had no problem with wire distances for my old F150 although the camera cables barely reached.In short, this is definitely a good value for the price, with customer support available if you need it. I don't think you'll find a better rear view camera system for the money.

When looking for a rear view camera for my camera I had several things I was looking for: 1. wired not wireless since I read wireless is awful, turns on when in reverse, night vision, and display in the mirror. This met all the requirements. I had it professionaly installed and it works much better than expected. The picture is fantastic and night vision works great. It turns everything black and white. The only complaint is how big the camera is and how big the mirror is. The mirror is not standard size and maybe 1" bigger top to bottom. It is also bluish in the mirror and toned down instead of saturated like the standard mirror. However, all in all this is great. The display area is pretty big also as far as range of the camera.

The monitor is very clear and when not in use completely invisible. Comes with 18' cable, which wasn't long enough to route under the vehicle into to cab of a Subaru Baja (at least not at the route I took). The mirror is a bit darker than factory, but works well. I like that the monitor can be viewed while in drive or only during reverse -- there's a button on the mirror that allows this. It defaults to reverse-only viewing. I was worried the quality would be lacking, but overall pleased. The 4 star (rather than 5) is because the cables weren't enough to get where I was going -- had to order an extension.

Too bad Toyota wants over $1400 for their camera system. Finally got it installed (10/6-7/15). Took 2 days. Wiring in headliner wasn't too bad as removed A pillar cover, visor and front screws on console (don't forget to disconnect neg batt terminal for air bags). Cable to camera was 6 feet short so had to splice power and extend video. Their install video was not accurate as need to water proof ALL exterior connections. Finding switched power and back up lamp wire a real pain. Just used a switch in white wire lead to activate camera.

The quality of this seems fine, but their description was misleading about one thing: "When the camera is not in use, the monitor will disappear..." The picture, of course, disappears but it leaves behind a white box, which is a little jarring and out of place. Any passenger getting in the car will notice the odd, permanently superimposed box. You almost have to leave the picture on permanently to avoid the embarrassment. Unfortunately this phenomena is common with a lot of these less expensive systems.

I use this in a commercial vehicle. I like the monitor built in to the rear view mirror. I was dreading the idea of another gadget mounted in the cab of my van so this is less clutter. It automatically turns on in reverse and is crystal clear. Because it is in the mirror it's a natural fit to look into it while your backing. Because the wires have plug in ends you have to drill holes in the rear door for the camera. I wish it came with grommets that would have saved a trip to the hardware store. Other than that great product

1st you have to put on your reading glasses to see it (becausae it is on the rear view mirror - close and small), then you cannot see through the rest of your mirrors. 2nd in this position it reflects everything and is hard to see even with your reading glasses on, 3rd. It doesn't work in very hot weather, i.e., no image at all when it's over 90, which means it only works at night in Atlanta in the summer. I am planning to replace it with the Biggest screen I can get that mounts low on the dash.

I gave a 1 rating, not because of camera and monitor, but when I installed system camera cable was to short, so I ordered a longer cable, cable was not in stock so it had to be made, took 3 weeks, when I got cable it didn't work, wiring inside was wrong, contacted seller, they are still trying to figure out what happened, I know what was wrong, so after 5 weeks from purchase I still have system that I can not use. Seller has been good to work with, have no problem with communication. I have been very patient. That has ended. Took system out, it was in a class c motorhome, and am going to buy a system that was made for motorhome. I am going to call it a bad investment.
