4.3 Inch Digital Rear View Mirror Monitor with Dual Video Input for Car Reversing and Entertainment

This 4.3-inch rear view mirror monitor integrates a high-resolution TFT-LCD display directly into your existing mirror, solving the common problem of juggling separate screens for reversing cameras and in-car entertainment. With automatic signal detection, it seamlessly switches between your DVD player and rear view camera when reversing, then returns to the previous source or turns off to conserve power. Designed for 12V vehicles, this monitor supports both PAL and NTSC systems, making it compatible with a wide range of cameras and media players.

Features and Construction

The monitor is built around a compact 4.3-inch TFT-LCD panel with clear image quality, designed for easy installation as a direct replacement or overlay on your existing rear view mirror.

Display Quality

The 4.3-inch screen delivers 800x480 pixel resolution with a 350:1 contrast ratio and 300cd/m2 brightness, providing clear visibility even in varying light conditions. The widescreen 16:9 format is ideal for reversing camera views and DVD playback.

Video Input System

The unit features two video inputs: AV1 for your DVD or media player, and AV2 for a reversing camera. It automatically identifies the active input, switching to the rear view camera when the reverse gear is engaged, and back to AV1 once reversed. When the ignition is off, it only activates the display upon detecting a reversing signal, helping to save battery life.

Power and Compatibility

Powered by standard DC 12V with a maximum consumption of under 3W, the monitor is designed for most cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles. It supports both PAL and NTSC video systems with automatic switching, ensuring compatibility with cameras and devices from different regions.

Uses and Placement

This monitor is designed for vehicle mounting as a replacement for your original rear view mirror, providing a dual-purpose solution for safety and entertainment.

Reversing Safety

The primary use is displaying a rear view camera feed when reversing, giving you a clear view of obstacles behind your vehicle. Automatic activation means no manual switching is required, reducing distraction while parking.

In-Car Entertainment

When not reversing, the monitor can display video from a connected DVD player or media device, making it suitable for passengers to watch films or view navigation maps without taking up dashboard space.

Benefits and Buying Value

Combining a reversing display with entertainment playback in one mirror-mounted unit eliminates the need for an extra screen on the dashboard, keeping your vehicle tidy and reducing clutter.

Power Saving Design

The monitor automatically powers off when the ignition is off and no reversing signal is present, preventing unnecessary battery drain. During driving, it only stays on when you are using the AV1 input, or briefly when reversing.

Simple Integration

With dual inputs and automatic system detection, installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic car electrics. The unit fits over most existing mirror mounts, and the included cables allow connection to your camera and DVD player.
