Folks,
I've searched a lot on this forum about backup cameras and read quite a bit, so forgive yet another thread.
I'm looking to install a system myself, and am very keen on the Rear View Safety system with the camera as a part of the rear brake light. Even though I have rear windows, I rarely use my rearview mirror. But being I live in NYC, I'm afraid a clip-on mirror monitor will just attract unwanted attention.
So my questions:
Would folks recommend one of those Mirror Monitors that actually replace the rearview mirror and do dual duty as a mirror and screen? They are fairly unobtrusive and might be just fine if they really do work. Any comments on these units would be appreciated. Consider I have nothing now, so anything is an upgrade.
Or...
Perhaps find a used Sound 20 (or Sound 15?) and install it in the dash and connect a camera to this so it's in dash? I like this idea a lot, but I'm not sure if this is a DIY job (I currently have a sound 5). Anyone who's done this, please let me know.
