I just wanna chime in with my first post hereon the forums. I have had one of these cameras for 2.5 years. in fact, I paid about $160 for mine from heartland america 2 years ago xmas. I have it hooked up to my headlight, so when the lights are on, the camera is on. I always have a ton of crap in the back of my ford escort for my work and visibility is totally limited. I bought the camera to use basically as a rear view mirror and it works great. I have been lurking for about a week and thought that if you are going to remove your side mirrors this camera is a must. hook it p to running lights or something. the directions have you hook it up to your reverse gear switch. After all this time let me tell you what I have found.

pro... good pic, no maintenance, and easy install.

con... even in phx, it got water in it after some rain. seal yours BEFORE you install.
the swivel mounty thing loosened after a short while and I am too dumb to figure out how to put tape around it to keep it from moving.

I suggest everyone get one of these if they remove their side mirrors. Get it at costco.. they are cheap there and they have the best return policy. I am not technical so I will be asking a ton of questions, so bare with me and my posts.....
hope this helped.
