RE: Target's $100 rear camera questions

This is the next toy I'll be installing sometime this week, time permitting.

It's getting there.

Ran it up into the headliner, over and down the driverside pilar, and under the dash to a hot wire that only came on when the truck was on. I forget which one right now, but if you dont take a voltage indicator and check some out yourself, I'll get under there and see what its connected to.

Do you know if there is any power in the mirror that's useable?

It's a wide angle camera and it really doesn't need relocation. I've got an excellent view left, right, center and up too. As far as mud and crap getting on it, I've not found that to be the case and even if it did, it takes two seconds to wipe the lens of with a rag.

In the Ohio winter with salted roads you'd be cleaning it every couple of miles. Even my rear window becomes a mess.[:@]

I wonder if this clipped onto the mirror encroaches on the OnStar features?

Not sure about that one, it might clip onto the mirror but be wired somewhere else. I specificly Did Not tap into any of the mirror wires just for that reason. Might have been ok to use one but I figured I'd play it safe.

Total $89.44 before shipping for this camera & TFT LCD monitor combo. Looks well constructed. Monitor is slim and should attach over vanity mirror on sun visor.
