Rear View Mirror Cam

So, I'm wanting to go with a rear-view mirror cam. I'm much more interested in the backup-cam and rear view mirror cam than I am the forward-view.

I was looking at this one because with three cams, I can have a backup cam and replace the interior view cam with a wide angle rearview cam that I could mount inside the car, just behind my head. I currently use a wide-angle mirror that goes over the rear-view mirror. It eliminates any blind spots and actually sees further out to the sides than the side mirrors do! I'm hoping to replace that with the wide-angle interior/rear-view cam.

Here's the one I'm looking at:

Here's the wide-angle mirror I use now: https://www.hammacher.com/product/be...hoCwWkQAvD_BwE

Is anybody using a rear view mirror cam?

Re: Rear View Mirror Cam

My friend has a Cadillac with a rear view camera/display instead of mirror and when I was first driving it on the track last week, I didn't even notice that it was a display. I found it very easy to use, and it felt natural. Probably not a bad way to go!

Yeah, I test drove a 2020 Camaro last year that had one. It was pretty amazing; especially at night.
