RearView Mirror w/ Integrated Backup Cam

Anyone try such a solution.

Just got a 2013 MDX base and its a nice feature. Just curious if anyone has modded their car to have this.

it's a slick integration. i was thinking of doing that, but got a little put off by the screen size. what were your thoughts on that?

ive seen both. As i said i have it in my MDX, and think the screen size is not bad for what it does.

Ive also had a TSX loaner with tech, and obviously the bigger screen is nicer/better, but since our options are kinda limited with aftermarket dashes for our cars, was wondering what a easier and possibly cheaper alternative might be.

as long as that rearview mirror screen is big enough to be useable, i'd say that's the route to take. it wins on tidyness factor alone. i'll be interested to hear your thoughts in the next few months as you get more and more accustomed to it.

IMO screen size is usable. Wife's RX350 has it in mirror, and prefer that to indash... since you are not looking down, then up... everything (other than actually turning your head) is in the mirror.
One point - at night, the smaller screen does not show much... but figure I'll try a better pair of LED backup lights...?

I have put a lot of aftermarket mirrors and cameras on these Acura's for the dealers locally..The image size is typically around 3.5" and is suitable.Again the point is not to get fixated by the image and use it as a "visual aid"

Reviving this thread. Could I potentially put this in my base '05 TL? It's exactly what I'm looking for!

There mainly aftermarket ones. I don't want to deal with Chinese knock offs
