There's a video in there that is well worth watching.  What amazes me the most is how inexpensive it was for him to do it, although it is never made clear if that includes the cost of the Chevy and the Cirrus or if it was just the cost of mating them together.

He can have mine. My Subaru came with it and I have to put on my reading glasses to see it (and I see nothing on the LCD if I am wearing polarized sun glasses). Mirrors are all I need.

Me too. The vehicle appears to have adequate outside rearview mirrors, and once you get used to driving a truck or a van that's all you really need.

Till you run over something in the blind spot,most people dont do a walk around .Many years ago insurance companies were advocating always try to avoid a situation where you had to backup(so many accidents backing up ) a lot of newer cars have ridiculous mirrors and restricted rear vision,dont have any myself ,but I have heard accolades for a lot of newer backup vision systems (like to have one on the Mack )
