Anyone using a rearview mirror backup camera? Thinking it might not be a good idea with the fancy mirror.

Suggestions, experience with others?
 
Did you replace the factory temp/ compass mirror or the standard mirror?
Standard mirror.

Just couldn't see out the back with a 33 on a spare rack. And eventually I want 35s.

That and the footage has been useful for YouTube.

Case in point this weekend a bear ran across the road...I didn't have the GoPro running but I was able to pull the front camera footage.

Would like it if I could get the factory mirror off and the screen higher up...another inch would be great. But this one rubber bands onto the factory mirror.

I have been looking at one of these seems great and I really like how it replaces the mirror, but I have never actually owned one. might make for a great double as a trail cam.

170* is wide enough for sure. I wonder about depth perception in reverse, guess it would take some practice to get used to. I already have a front dash cam that I swap between vehicles and it's a pretty wide angle so I have to get really close to have any worthwhile trail footage. My GoPro7 kicks my butt for the most part .. ya, it's just me.. and I don't use it.
