I have a version that clips ontpo the existing mirror. Its not much larger than the mirror, however you would appreciate a bigger screen anyway, and is on the whole time so I get a view out the back. Couple of issue though. It is not great when someone is driving with their lights on behind you. I have two cameras, one a colour that has a low light threshold and another that is IR. The camera is essentially useless in the dark - the colour one. I have not tried the IR unit as yet. My camera in use now is one of the factory units supplied with the GPS - HEMA - bloody dear at the time, but I am sure better ones are avail now at 1/10th the cost. I find it is useful for general daylight hours, works well for backing up with the big reverse lights I have. It was a cheapie - @Cuppa actually put me onto it - sorry, at the mine right now so can't check which make/model it is. There is also a work around with the config to get the image on the right side of the screen - it comes out configured to reverse the image - weird when you are driving along in the LH lane and a car looks like it is overtaking you on a lane that does not exist. Mine can be wireless or hard wired - I went hard wired, its been ok but do an excellent job with the cables from the start or you will have issues with comms - took me a while a couple of times to sort mine out. I think the unit was about $100, maybe less and that was 3 yrs ago.
