Review: Wow! Such a great quality mirror that both auto dims plus has a backup camera input! - Firstly, I want to say that it took me a long time to find the right mirror that did everything I wanted. Unfortunately, there are a ton of mirrors on both desertcart as well as eBay that look exactly like this. The problem is they do not automatically dim, even though the sellers advertise them as such. When you ask they will tell you that the display will dim, but they like to say it in such a way as to trick you. After lots of research, I have concluded that you can't get a good mirror like this for $50. This mirror at $175 is very much worth the price. Other mirrors like it on the internet go well above the $400 range! This is the best bang for your buck. As soon as I opened the box I could instantly tell this was a very well-crafted mirror. Fairly heavy, and the arm that attaches to it is very tight on the ball joints. The great thing about this is the mirror stays where you put it and doesn't shake or rattle while driving. Installation was a snap and took about a half hour, which was mostly just routing the wire. When I first powered it on I was impressed by how well the automatic dimming worked, just like any other dimming mirror. At no point was I able to see the screen itself either, the screen only shows when the backup camera is active. I also like that the mirror comes with a remote that allows you to adjust settings like the positioning of the guidelines. I used the chart in the manual to map out the measurements of where the lines should be and then adjusted while watching the screen. That's it, very easy setup and programming. It works the same way any other standard auto-dimming mirror does. When it's on you see a green light, you can press the power button to enable or disable it. On top of that, this mirror also turns off the auto-dimming while you are in reverse, just like the factory ones. If you wish to connect another camera like a side camera system or front camera, there is a secondary input that allows connection. This input is a "sensing" input that automatically turns on the input if it detects a video signal. As far as both inputs the backup camera input will always take priority. This means if you are using the secondary input and put your car in reverse, the mirror will automatically switch to the backup camera, which makes a lot of sense. Oh boy, am I tempted to hook up a RetroPi for some parking lot gaming between giving rideshare rides! I have to hook something up to it, no man can leave any input unused. Here is the conclusion of what you are going to get when you install this mirror. You are getting a mirror that far exceeds factory quality while having both the luxury of a backup camera as well as an auto-dimming mirror. This mirror saved me from the expensive mission of replacing my radio. Plus, I like to keep my car looking as factory as possible, so I prefer to keep the original radio. Do not buy any other mirror, get this one. You won't regret it!
Review: A superb, yet subtle upgrade for a 16 year old PT Cruiser - I have an Android double-din radio installed in my '06 PT, but I didn't like triggering the reverse lamp I fitted as it would go full screen and hide whatever app I had open. I have a small LCD mounted on the dash, with a rearview camera mounted internally on the C-pillar to monitor the baby seat in the back (its better than using a baby mirror). So I discovered they make rear-view mirrors with LCD's in them. Originally, I was just looking to get a dimming rearview mirror. Since my car is lowered, the glare from the headlights of the endless SUV's and Trucks is super obnoxious and I wanted to reduce the bright lights in my eyes. I came across this mirror and it fit the bill. Dimming, and had a display for a camera. Great, perfecto. Installing this mirror in a PT Cruiser was no different to installing an OEM factory mirror. Just loosen the screw with the provided tool, and the mirror slides up off the mount on the windshield. Install is the reverse of removal. I did have to use some small modeling snips to trim down the length of the wire hiding plastic piece, as my mirror is mounted higher up than most vehicles. But that is no biggie. Once I joined the rear-view camera wires, I tied it all off and wrapped in foam tape above the headliner out of sight. I've found the dimming on the mirror to be splendid. So much so, that I am actively looking for a way to electronically dim my side mirrors. The mirror is a smidge darker than factory in terms of light reflected, but it's perfectly comfortable. Headlights in the review are dimmed enough I can make out the light bulbs inside the housings - but it does not darken the rest of the surrounding. I've had it for almost a week so far, and this was the most subtle, yet most noticeable mod I have installed in a few years. Was it worth the $170? Only you can decide that. I am happy, so to me it is. Especially since it doesn't physically appear much different to the OEM mirror aside from being slightly thicker, and having light sensors and a green LED. Overall, if you are on the fence with this product then I would say take the chance. It's a solid product, well constructed, with good instructions and the value it adds with the LCD and glare reduction make it worthwhile.

## Features

- OEM MIRROR: Master Tailgaters rear view mirrors completely replace your original rearview mirror! There is an included bracket that works with many popular vehicles like Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, GM, etc. If your vehicle is a different make, don't worry-- a universal windshield button style mount is included which allows this unit to be installed on all vehicles. To install, you may need an adapter.
- LCD SCREEN: The mirror is 10.5", with a 4.3" TFT high brightness LCD screen that automatically turns on to display the rear view image when your vehicle is put in reverse. It has an LCD display sensor that adjusts the screen's brightness to the ambient light so it's easier to see, brighter when it's light outside and dimmer when it's dark out.
- TWO VIDEO INPUTS: With 2 video RCA inputs, you are able to display 2 different types of images. One connects to video and the other connects to a backup camera (not included).
- HIGH QUALITY MIRROR: Our rear view mirror's glass is 4mm thick, making it clear and distortion-free/warp-free.
- CONNECT TO BACKUP CAMERA: The rearview mirror plugs into most backup cameras with RCA Inputs (Backup Camera Sold Separately). All parts needed for installation are included and easy to set up!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I just hook the red wire up to my vehicle's reverse trigger wire so it only receives 12v when the car's in reverse?**
A: The camera seems to work just fine like this.  If yours has an auto dimming or glare reduction it will require the +12 to go to an accessory powered circuit in order for that to work properly.

**Q: What button do you push to toggle between two cameras**
A: There is no button to toggle. There are 2 inputs. Video, and Reverse. The reverse footage will come on any time that source gets input. Generally, you attach the reverse camera to your Reverse lights power, so the camera powers on(and in step, the screen) when you are backing up. When the reverse camera is on, you can press the power button on the mirror to turn on your "Video" input.

**Q: Le queda a una gmc sierra 2007**
A: Si. Pero se requere electrosionita.

**Q: Does is fit 2017 Dodge Journey?**
A: Yes it will

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job, OEM look, Temp and Comp feature is nice.
*by T***J on February 17, 2026*

seems good so far, the temp and compass backlight seems to get confused at dusk/dawn lighting, will get little bright and little dimmer, nothing distracting though. I paired with a BOKA license plate camera and seems to look ok, the screen is small so its hard to tell if its clear or not.
