Default Rear view mirror/camera

With my cargo rack and spare tire, my rearview mirror is completely useless. So I was thinking about getting one of those rearview mirror screens that is connected to a camera. Anyone done this and have recommendations for the brand and installation tips and tricks?

I bought this Camera I have it wired to this switch unit so i can turn it on whenever i want, not just in reverse. A lot of times I'll run it at night since it has a wider view i can see if there are cars just off the rear quart panels.

I went with this brand of mirror rear view camera. It was an easy install and front and rear dash cams built in.
FullVUE® Rear Camera Mirror for Jeep Wrangler (JK/JL) / Gladiator (JT) 2007-2021 FVMR-8886 - Brandmotion

Before


After


Rear with reverse guidelines.


Front view night time


Rear view nighttime in reverse.


Split view


If you look around on the internet you can find it a little cheaper. I have had it on for about 2 years now and still like having it. It really makes lane changes a lot more easier.

Are the grid lines accurate? I’ve heard they’re not centered well.

Would it be possible to get a picture of the mirror showing an obstacle in the back of the vehicle and then one outside the vehicle showing the actual distance?
