Rear Vier Camera Mirror - Page 2

For these old eyes, it is not comfortable having to change focal distance from near (to see the camara) to far (to see the road). For that reason alone, I generally don't use it. It does come in handy when the back window is covered in snow.

Took me the drive home from the dealership to get used to it and it has not been off since.

I love it, it is the best thing ever and the reason I went with 5% tint on all my windows.

I like it but don't use it all the time, however, my only complaint is you can't record it. Or can you?

Yep. My 50-some year old near-sighted eyes simply can't focus on it well enough to use it. In my younger year I probably would have enjoyed it.

My 72 yo eyes that adjust fine. Been wearing cheaters since my early 50's with contacts and ditched the contacts for bifocals 10 years ago.

Lucky for you! I decided to give it a try this afternoon and for the next few days to see if I can get used to it. It is a cool feature.

I am back and forth. Some days I use it, some days I don't. It does give a good picture as to what is behind you and coming up the side. Leave it on for a long time and it gets warm.

Geese1 · 04-13-2023, 06:41 PM

Use it exclusively. I don't think I've ever NOT had the review mirror camera on.

Idaho2018GTPremium · 04-13-2023, 06:57 PM

I don’t use it, don’t like the focal length change, and I can’t think of any problems I’ve encountered with the view out of the actual mirror. Plus the actual mirror image is much sharper than the digital recreation.

Anjilslaire · 04-13-2023, 07:47 PM

I do both, but I find the extra light from the sunroof adds some annoying glare to the display that's not on the mirror.

mariojas · 04-13-2023, 07:52 PM

How do you "mature" folks track your speedo? I would say the mirror is maybe a little closer, but eyes need to adjust focus for both.

The Maverick · 04-13-2023, 07:53 PM

I use it on my daily driver. Initially I would switch magnification from the widest angle to the most zoomed-in view (with narrower view angle) when I was on a two lane road or on the highway with light traffic. Eventually I became used to just using the widest angle view 100% of the time.

After owning a 1SS for 6 years, rear Camera mirror all day. My wife feels the same
