Was working on all of the cars today. The cam-mirrors return!




New cameras! I like them a lot better than the old ones. Unfortunately they can't be repointed without changing how they're mounted, so my views get a lot of the side of the car now.




New screens! Old ones are on the left. The new ones are lower resolution and smaller, but they're more clear and have better color reproduction. Also, they're 4:3 aspect ratio, like the cameras. The old screens had black bars on left and right. Why are nearly all of the screens for backup cameras widescreen, whereas nearly all of the cameras are 4:3?




The kit, ready to go back in the car:




Mounted up:










Fuel economy after a test run on the highway at ~55mph over 15 miles. Not too shabby!
