Works great with my Chevy Suburban

I've been using it for a few weeks. It is great. I've tried other reversing cameras with dedicated monitors, but the problem with them is that there's no space to mount a monitor, so the inside of the truck doesn't look cheap. I also wanted a reversing camera visible in the mirror, but so far the image in the mirror has been too small. This product is perfect because the front or back camera image fills the ENTIRE screen. This makes it particularly easy to see what is behind you when reversing. The front camera pops out on the side of the mirror so you have a full front view and nothing sticks to my windshield. My safety has definitely improved thanks to this article. In addition, it is very easy to install. Everything worked for me in 15 minutes. Of course, if you want to hide your cables, it still takes about 30 minutes to get it right. However, you can definitely get it up and running in about an hour with hidden cables etc. I'm very happy with the picture because it's definitely HD. If you have a Suburban, please note that you will likely need an inexpensive extension cord if you really want to hide the cord. In addition, Suburban does not turn off auxiliary power when the engine is turned off. This means that the camera will continue to record even after the car is parked. After a few weeks I haven't noticed any significant drop in battery (but I drive a truck every day). Definitely recommend for the price and quality. The support team will reply within 24 hours.

Some limitations, but still a great all-in-one dash cam & backup cam
