It wouldn't be running all the time if you are using it properly b cause you would normally hook it up to the reverse wire so it only comes on when the car is put in reverse.

No, I believe he is talking about using a camera and a small monitor in place of a rear view glass mirror. essentially it would be the same thing, but digital. It makes sence to me in the application such as a panel van or other vehicle where you really have limited or no rear view mirror visibility, however, in a vehicle where you do have vision it would seem dumb. cant beat the framerate and clarity of the human eye.

I just think it would be cool to do, im not asking for anyones permission to do this, im simply asking for an opinion, or a comment or if someone on here has done this already.

hi,

yes, done something similar... put a somewhat large flipdown screen in an Escalade, which when down pretty much blocked the view of the interior rear view mirror. placed a camera pointed out the rear window (up high) which was connected to a small monitor mounted high up by the rear view mirror. mounted a switch in the flipdown, which when opened/released, triggered the monitor via the reverse lead input. so yes it can be done.
