Smart Mirror to OEM reverse camera?

[Bmb0812]

Hey all, having trouble finding exactly what I’m looking for and I’m not even sure if it is possible. I’m looking for a smart mirror like wolf box that has the ability to add a front camera but use the stock OEM reverse camera for the mirror, that way I don’t to cameras on the back end. Anyone have any experience doing this or seen anything like it?

I doubt that a company would invest in developing something like that. There's almost too many issues to list, but one of the primary issues is the extremely poor quality of that existing camera.

Shoot. Well, would you suggest ripping the old camera out then And installing a new one? And which smart mirror would be a good choice?

As I have been looking at this i see adding wolfbox for the additional cameras I want and leaving the stock cam going through the head unit.

I have a Wolfbox and originally mounted the camera on top of the factory camera but I didn't like how low it was in the rear view so I made a housing and mounted it on top of the third brake light.

It's 3D Printed. It's the first and only object I designed myself that I've printed so I'm very proud of it

I have a Wolfbox camera and I just left the OEM backup camera as-is. I mounted the rear cam from Wolfbox inside, above the rear window. I did not connect it to the reverse lights so, it just functions like a rearview mirror. I prefer the wider FOV this provides. Works well for me. As a side bonus, it helps when the back is loaded with camping gear. I can still see out back. YMMV

Nice! You should be. My son has had several 3D printers and thankfully is a graphic design major cause I can barely print the little beginner objects preprogrammed into the printer.

I don't understand why you'd want to rip out the old one. The two cameras / displays will have different perspectives. Additional perspectives of what's behind you is a good thing when backing up.

Partly because my camera is partially blocked by the offset of the rim sadly
