Thoughts and musings on the visibility issue

[NEOCON1]

I guess I was used to my old Isuzu Vehicross which had much worse visibility that the H3. I had the Japanese rear camera in my VX, and for me, it was too much of a personal distraction. . It's always been a trade off between styling and function, like the '63 split window coupe. The only real problem I have with the windows is I can't get the ticket at the airport parking lot and have to pull past it and open the door. I like the styling, so it's worth the small sacrifice.
As for that big dead space you metion in the door, buy some Dynamat and stick it in the door panels and it will make the H3 quieter as well as increase the performance of your door speakers. I bought 14 feet of it and it was enough to do the front and rear doors and back gate with enough left over to stick some under the carpet.

For those wanting just the camera and leaving the stereo stock, a Hitchcam with 3.5" color monitor costs $1100 installed (SV Hummer-LG).

I'm been using this setup since November and it's very helpful.

Rear View Lens

I've got one of these wide angle stick-ons ordered. I'll post on how it works out in the rear window.

For those interested, Kragen Auto Parts sells a license plate frame with rear view cam with a 4" color LCD screen for $150. I haven't seen it, but it probably comes from the same plant in China as the $500 jobs!

DWPC:

That lens looks promising. I think that it would work best if placed high on the window to view over the tire.

Can't beat the cost and it should be reliable!

Looking forward to your results.

Best regards, Jack

The "Rear View Safety Lens" has been a bust for me.
Due to the H3's outside mounted spare tire, I can't find a location, for it, that enables me to see my rear bumper or even close to it. So, it is worthless for parallel parking.
Furthermore, it makes backing up even harder, for me, because objects appear much further away than they really are.
If any of you have better results, please post.

My parents had that lens on there 33 foot motorhome and it worked well it also had a huge rear window.

I've tried several different locations.
Currently, I have it at the very bottom, outermost side of the passenger side of the rear window.

I see the internet connection, at the trailer park, is operational.
Figured you classy folks would be out honky tonkin' on a Saturday night.
Didn't you have enough water for your weekly bath?

Yep, life is tough.

That was so exquisitely lame Mr. Clark. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
