I used to use an Apeman C550 and loved that it was flush with the windshield, would still recommend. I currently have used the mirror dashcam Wolfbox G840s for 2 years now. I love it and works great, helps cause big heads in the backseat don't block anything and I can remove the cargo cover and fill it up to the roof and I can still see out there. My fiancee doesn't like it because it makes her a tiny bit dizzy to have all that movement going on on that screen, and it's also a huge 12" screen. I turn it off when traveling on highways at nighttime because 1, it's empty enough that I'm not switching lanes often and 2, the screen can be really bright, though it can be dimmed. Other thing I'd recommend is if you get one of these, get an anti-glare screen protector. In the summer, if the sun hits people/anything in your back seat, you can see the glare in the screen and it gets annoying but the anti-glare helped a ton! The plug-in for this goes to the 12v cig lighter but, for the hatchback, that's right in the center armrest storage and I didn't like that so I hardwired it to my Wiper Fluid fuse. Hardwiring can seem scary but it can be done with 1 or 2 YouTube videos!

They are very easy to install. I have a Wolfbox G840s front/rear cam. Took me 15 minutes to install it in my SUV. Had it for a couple years now without any problems.

I got the WOLFBOX G840S and it survived last year's cold winter (I'm up north)... no issues at all with the front or back cameras. There's no connectivity with the phone, but you can pop the microSD card out and browse it on any computer.

Yes, I've had the 2 camera one, G840s and have been very impressed but just upgraded to the 3 camera as I want 2 angles looking out the back. I put it in a VW transporter camper so I have a rear view dashcam as well as reversing camera all in the same unit.

I have the G840. You can use it like a regular mirror if you choose to do so with the same clarity as the stock mirror. If you choose to use the screen, when the truck is off it is extremely low profile. You would have to be looking for the camera on the back to notice it.

I put in a Wolfbox g840 mirror/camera in my truck last year. It records front and rear and gives me a rear view mirror that doesn’t get blocked by stuff in the bed. With primeday this week you should be able to get something for under $150
