4K Rear View Mirror Camera with Carplay & Android Auto: 11.26" Smart Touch Screen Mirror Dash Cam Front and Rear with Voice Control, Parking Monitor, Reverse Assist for Car Truck SUV Van (64GB Card)

I bought this dash cam for the dash cam part. I expected to need to mount it somehow to replace the rear view mirror, hard wire it in and run cable inside the body of the car. I was pleasantly surprised by what came in the box and how easy it was to hook this up.To attach it to the car, it just uses strong elastic bands on the back side to cover the existing rear view mirror, so mounting it takes seconds. Then to wire it in, it came with several options; a cig lighter usb-c wire, and then an actual hard wire to the fuse box. Both cables are extra long so they'll reach from wherever you need, but to be able to hard wire to the fuse box and save the cig lighter for a phone charger is a great option. It took just a couple minutes to get it in place for a quick test.The other thing that's included that I didn't expect was this actually comes with a backup camera too. It's got a long wire that plugs directly into the dashcam for audio/video, and a wire that you connect to your reverse light if you want the dash cam to automatically change to the reverse cam upon shifting to reverse. My car already has a backup camera but the quality of this one exceeds my own, so I decided to wire this one in also. Wiring was simple enough.The quality of the video is excellent. You can choose between 2k and 4k, and both look better than the stock backup camera.The other unexpected feature was that this can translate between the different input/output methods that it has. For example, if your car is older and lacks a bluetooth connection, you can actually connect your phone to the dashcam and then have the dashcam broadcast a radio signal, and pick up that signal from your car radio thus translating bluetooth to your car. You can also opt for aux instead of the radio transmitter but for ease of use, you can't beat being able to add bluetooth functionality to your car without adding additional hardware.This dashcam comes compatible with Android auto, apple car play, and a few other connection methods. It is able to display your trip and media controls clearly and the display quality is excellent. The display touch is responsive as well. There is a built-in mic so Siri and Google Assistant commands work great. This even has speakers built in.The recordings capabilities include the reverse cam, the dash cam while driving, and a parking monitor mode and they are all configurable.Overall I am super impressed by this dash + reverse cam. I've purchased other reverse cams and if I had to go back and do it again, I'd just get this combo device and add dashcam + reverse cam at the same time to my other vehicles that didn't have either one.

This is an excellent addition to your car. If you do not have Carplay or a rear view camera, this is the one for you. It is beautifully designed. The mirror is very useful, and provides a great reflection when the radio is off. Once the radio is attached to your existing rear view mirror using the supply rubber connectors, it is simply a matter of running the three lines to their associated connections. The first line connects to the power source. Two connectors are provided. One goes to the lighter socket, and alternatively the other line can be used to plug into the fuse box. It comes with two fused lines that easily plug into open sockets on the fuse box. There is a black ground wire as well. I chose to plug into the lighter socket. The next line runs to the rear view camera. You'll need to figure out a configuration that enables the wire to run hidden from view. The camera mounts easily on the location where the license plate is mounted. It fit perfectly on my car. I ran the line through the trunk, into the back seat through an existing hole, and then along the door jamb and ending at the unit. The last line is run from the AUX input to the AUX output of your existing car radio. If you have a recent vehicle that has a Bluetooth connection you can connect wirelessly. My car is a 2007 so I used AUX out. Once everything is connected the next step is to choose your source for entertainment. I have an iPhone, and the radio connects simply using Bluetooth to enable Carplay. The instructions are simple and the same as every other Carplay enabled device. Once connected I arranged my apps so that the most used are on the first screen. The radio is now ready to set up. The instructions are very easy to follow. When you start your car, you see the apps you choose and in the order, left to right, that you choose. I choose from left to right: Waze, SiriusXM, and front camera. The view is wide so all three are viewed easily. When you put the car in reverse, the entire unit views the back just like you want f et I'm a rear view mirror camera. You can choose 2K or 4K for resolution. You can view recordings using the playback feature. It even comes with a high capacity microSD card to save all your recordings. This unit is packed with features. It's well worth the price. Get one!

This is a neat device that breathes new life into an old vehicle without the modern amenities of a new car. I’m surprised how jam packed full of features this is. You have a dash camera, rear-view/back up camera (also records too), BT to FM transmitter, Carplay/Android Auto and a whole host of other features!What’s nice is that this kit came with a SD card (will probably replace it though just to get more capacity and high endurance), a hardwire kit and all the accessories you might need to install it. They thought of everything to ensure you can get up and running.I think one improvement area would just be in the instructions as it wasn’t entirely clear on how to configure things and utilize things fully. It isn’t a huge deal at all, but I’m still figuring out how to utilize everything.Here’s some tips on navigation that I’ve found thus far:1. When utilizing the backup camera, you can do a scroll up and down motion to angle the view up/down. Initially, I was shocked at how high up the view was and it made me miss my old backup camera as I could better judge the distance. Once I figured out I could adjust the view, things were a lot better.2. When you’re in carplay/android auto mode, you’ll have a view of the front or rear camera and you can two-finger tap to swap between front or rear camera. It might be a two-finger tap or a swipe, so play around with it.3. On the back up camera, you can touch the guidelines and move them around to what you desire.Overall, I’m very happy with this device and it’s been a stellar addition to my old car!
