Hey thanks again Raceman for the quick response. I got it installed, and the first image was my kid on a tricycle smack dab in the blind spot - just like someone else here. For the price, I can't complain too much - it serves it's purpose. Not as nice as the cubbycam looks to be. I did a pretty half-assed job because I needed a cheap removeable fix; it's a lease, and I may be turning it in soon.
I think using the trailer harness to wire the cam has to be easier than cracking the light.
The clips suck, and I had to strip the wires a little to get good contact - if this thing fails, that will be my first suspect. The wire is visible above the cam since I don't want to drill a hole in my plate. It does cover up the TEXAS on the plate, so I don't know if that's a problem with the law. If I do get pulled over, I'll just show the cop my two child seats (hopefully full at that point) and say I was doing it for them to milk a warning.
I am using the plug with the screen velcroed right below the cubby. I can still access all the cubbies and controls but there is a little cord slop - I think I'm going to shorten that up. I can take the whole thing out in seconds so it doesn't get ripped-off. The red light on the plug is annoying when not in use, so I would definitely splice into the fuse box if you can.
Not too shabby for $95 delivered (BJs)
. I can pretty much see everything when used in conjunction with the mirrors.
