back-up camera as rear view mirror
I'm just wondering if using an RV style back up camera would work as a full time rear view mirror.
I was thinking about getting a water ski mirror, but some of those cost almost as much as a camera system. My rear visibility is really bad when I have my soft top on. has anyone done this? |
As much as I like back-up cameras in modern cars, I'm afraid I might snicker a bit if I saw one in a Cobra. No offense intended. That being said, I'm no sure that would be legal to replace your rear view mirror with a flat panel diplay. Also, I think you'd find that with a camera your field of vision will be further reduced, and grainy or washed out as is typical in even the most modern back up camera systems.
What about a blink mirror? (Wink mirror?). These are the full windshield width bars with multiple mirrors. Design it to come off with the top, and you score extra points for coolness. DD |
Roger, go to PEP BOYS, they have a couple of mirrors that are convexed. They are about 11" long and will clamp right on your dash mirror. I bought one and it is great, you see everything from your back fenders side to side. Also, if you have side mirrors pick up a 3.5-4" dot convexed mirror and put it on the passenger side mirror. You will see everything from the back fenders forward :D

Also if the sun was reflecting off the screen it would be difficult to see.
