what are you using the unit for, to have a backup camera or to leave it on when driving to see whats behind you? If as a backup camera, you can get inexpensive 170 degree angle cameras that work just fine on amazon - the flush mount Gino is one of the more popular ones. If you are going to use it when driving to see behind you, I'd suggest trying to find a camera that has a low viewing angle. Mine has a 120 degree viewing angle and its good in that it lets me see in my blind spots easily, but ideally I would have been able to find one at a 60 degree angel to let me see further behind me.

I'm running a monitor like this:
10 2'' TFT Screen Car Rearview Mirror Monitor with Touch Button Control Remote | eBay
Flipped the rear view mirror upside down and have the monitor snugged up against the sPod switch panel. It doesn't sit any lower than the stock mirror does. It stretches the image (instead of cropping, which would have been far better for rear view) but it works well.
