I also have the forward collision and adaptive cruise control so the housing is much bigger. So far no aftermarket replacement mirrors work with it. Also haven’t figured out how to get the mirror out without breaking something.
I orginally removed my factory mirror all together and just went with the Tazer solution on the dash. It works great when you are on the freeway and put your turn signal on for a lane change. It does not work well if you are trying to use GPS at the same time and have a quick turn to make because of the lag. The next turn might come up and you still have the Tazer on the screen. Or, you are at a light and the turn signal is on and you want to change something on the screen. You have to X out of the screen first. Secondly, it is not ideal for the trail, especially if you are not running with doors. Not so much for not backing into things as for making sure the guy behind you is still there.
No need to take it completely off, just remove the four plastic screws and let it dangle if needed but once the smaller plastic part is removed you can get access to the three screws to remove the mirror mount.May have been answered but how do you open or remove the cover over the rear view mirror mount on the black box the is over the ACC stuff on the windshield. I can get he lower part to pop out but the top doesn’t want to come out. Don’t want to do something stupid and break it.
Wouldn't a trail cam being rendered somewhere else / anywhere else be more useful? The Uconnect or something else on the dash could be significantly larger / clearer.
Hey Ratbert. What mirror did you end up with? Noticed we have the same AEV setup with 37 and fuel caddy. Did you remove and replace oem mirror? Any issues installing. No adaptive for me. Have to do something as I smoked a junker at the gas station. Could see the little jalopy at all.
I've got the one referenced by OP. Yeah, it works, has everything required for your Jeep, and someone wouldn't notice that it's not OEM unless the Jeep was on and they're looking directly at it, but everything else about it is mediocre. Definitely not great at night and have to use your side mirrors to get any idea about how close someone is.
Name of the Front DVR Cam?Just chiming in.
Had a DVR mirror on my ‘18 and it came with its own Jeep bracket so you can swap out the OEM and reuse the hardware to mount. One of the cleanest solutions for dash recording and seeing out the back.
Amazon also sells the mount itself: the
mirror bracket is 22mm if I remember correctly. The rake sweeps forward towards you more so than OEM. You can also sorta build your own mount by buying the mirror delete bracket from CMM and using ram arms/joints.
Many of the digital mirror sellers on Amazon are the same shops you can find on AliExpress. The company I used was called and most mirrors are 10-12” screens. Your sun visor will hit the new mirror if you are still using it/ positioning it normally with the screen turned off. I had mine positioned dead center to avoid this and ran the dvr screen on all the time. I also had my rear camera installed on the rear center of the sports bar to prevent the glare you’d get from installing the camera on the exterior.
For the new Jeep I went w/ a 8” lcd screen mirror w/ 4 inputs but it’s not a dvr so the dash cam is mounted separately ??
