I was looking at systems like this, but decided that it was too much hassle to run a video cable from the back to the front.
I did have a look on ebay at some of the similar systems that use a wireless link from a camera at the back to the monitor in the mirror which would negate the wiring problem.
I don't know how much of a delay there may be between putting the car in reverse and getting a picture on the mirror/monitor....perhaps the camera is powered all the time the ignition is on and it signals the monitor when to operate?
I haven't done anything yet, prefering to save the money and use my eyes!
