Review on Drive With Confidence: WOLFBOX Rear View Mirror Camera With Front And Rear 4K+2.5K, Full Touch Screen, Night Vision, And Parking Assist by Jason Cartwright

Basic issue is that it does not fit many vehicles

I really wanted to like this product. Lots of features. On paper, it looks good but there are too many negatives. I expect perfect when paying this quantity of $$$. It is being returned.The number one problem is it probably will not fit many/most modern vehicles. Maybe good for a 60's Chevy but trying to install it over the mirrors on a newer vehicle is not possible using the rubber band method. The stock mirrors are often too thick, too wide, too tall, or all of the above. The auto manufacturers just put too much stuff on the mirror like Garage door openers, Onstar, temp displays, etc. Won't mount cleanly on my 2006 Envoy and a 2010 C350. If you look at the competitors they all use the same rubber band method. They need to publish the limitations on mirror mounting. Width, height, and thickness all impact how cleanly this will install.Next is the number of wires going into it. It is just ugly. Different connectors in every direction. Power. GPS. Rear Camera. They need a single cable and split it in a hidden location. There is a competitor that does this. Why not build the GPS into the mirror? No reason it needs to be separate. There are competitors that have it integrated. I like the idea of having the camera mounted to the mirror but it brings up 2 problems. It only works if your mirror is less than about 8" wide at the maximum measured width. If wider, the camera housing will interfere forcing it off center. Mirror mounted cameras also are a problem If you have multiple drivers. The camera will be moved with the mirror if they have to repositioned it.Like most of the competitors, they sell an incomplete kit. Generally you will have to buy an additional expensive cable to install it. Nobody permanently installs a dashcam like this and plugs it into a power outlet!Last of all, they have the most annoying customer service. I keep getting messages about my "problem" which does not exist. The problem they mention has nothing to do with this review. The problem went away when I shipped it back. The problem I have is they keep sending generic messages about a problem!
