The easiest grab the switch leg for the reverse lights at the trans and switch it. The down side (small) is when ever you use the switch for the camera the reverse lights would come.
Back up camera and mirror- which one to buy?

Installed backup cam and monitor.
LCD mirror fit quite well on OEM. It's quite thin and just the right size so it doesn't obstruct sun visors movement. Another positive fact regarding these types of mirrors is that they perform like auto dim mirrors, so there is no need for flipping in the dark.

Love this idea, however, it appears that when the camera is not on, it is a blue screen, and not a mirror. Is that correct?

Mirror looks normal when LCD is turned off. It is a bit dark, like autodimm mirrors, but not blue. You can't even see the edges of LCD when it's off.

@navigator thanks for that bit of information. Is there a brand name on it, as the link you sent could not be shipped to the US.
I found this on US ebay.

Both of these two mirrors are same as mine. Mine also came with that IR cam which is useless (too big) for mounting on Land cruiser.

My work uses those mirrors and camera's a lot. They either work great or crap out in a few weeks and we replace them and then they work great. Very few problems. I haven't had any luck with the wireless camera's and mirrors. The picture was horrible and full of static and as soon as I moved the vehicle the signal would completely disappear.

I've been looking at those on eBay for a couple of days. Does the Bluetooth stereo receiver create problems for the wireless camera signal?

Just spent a whole $33. on that wireless back up camera with the clip on mirror on Ebay. Never thought I would see them so inexpensive.
Thanks for the heads up Navigator.

I liked the camera with the license plate bracket attachment.
