Does anyone use this for driving? How much does the lid obscure your view? Thank you all!

The lid flips back level to the base of the lid. It's a tiny obstruction and doesn't cause a problem for me.

My wife does use for her commute. She said there is slight obstruction. The fact that it keeps coffee hot for more than 8 hours is why she uses it.

That would depend on where younplace it in your car, no? I use it in my car, I place it in one of the cup holders, and I often leave the lid open. I have an Accord sedan and the cup holders are between the twp front seats.

the top goes back pretty far but it will still be in between ur eyes a little..but a great one cause it locks so cannot open and spill like others..

The lid is not large (2 1/2 circ) and when open will "lock" in open position so the lid does not flip back on you. My husband has used his driving and does not find it blocks your view and he is particular about that kind of stuff.

i found that the visor doesn't work well in day or night. The visor made the viewing very hazy and blurry in some spots. Save yourself some frustration and just get a good pair of yellow driving glasses or if you wear glasses like me, you can get a good pair of yellow clip-ons that work great. I hope this helps you.

Haven't driven it in actual night time, no lights type driving. I can say its "eye sight" is much better than mine. I have Driven in an actual down pour Storm when the windshield wipers couldn't keep up with the rain, a few cars had pulled over, and my forward visibility was limited. When i got home I loaded the card onto my computer and was amazed at its clarity even thru the water on the windshields. This unit cam came highly recommended by a friend and I highly recommend it. It is basically a simple dash cam, that shows only what's in front of the car. but covers a wide area.

This is not recommended for night driving although it would work. The chance of cutting out something you need to see is rather great, it would seem to me. I use night vision sunglasses to cut down on glare and they work much better. Either the yellow or the light brown work well. GMM

I presume you are using while driving? Probably not the best idea if so. Regardless, tell me where you have mounted it, and at what angle are you viewing it?

I installed the Easy View over a very thick visor and it worked fine. It is a little difficult if there are garage buttons on the car's visor.

A bit- the cover in my car covers the vents in the back, so I have to adjust the angle on the front vents and crack the windows- especially after daycare or running in the park. There are WAY more positives to it though- it's still holding up really well!

i have never tried to. i used it all the way from michigan to florida over a two day period and driving south i had the sun on the passenger side and unable to view screens until i bought this product which worked perfectly.

Well I have not noticed that as an issue after couple hundred miles of city & urban road use. I find it offers a nice sharp view, fine depth & width perception. I would suggest reading all the reviews on this mirror and see if maybe someone see's it as an issue. For me, I'm 100% happy with it.

I have the half windshield... and I liked it because it directed the wind up over your head. Dust NO! You'll get your backside pretty dirty. I recently installed a roof on it and now the windshield directs the wind right in my face... along with any rain too. Don't get me wrong.. I like it but didn't expect to get a face full. It does pull a lot of dust up from the back. I even tried laying the tailgate down... no good there either. I feel like a trail hand after a long cattle drive when I get to my destination.

Yes, I bought to be able to see my two children in the back and I can. It takes a bit (about a day) to get used to the view while driving but then it is great.

The graphic is somewhat mis-leading, as the roadway see illustrated is in fact the "rear view"-NOT the front/side(s). The middle is the camera view of what is BEHIND (although somewhat difficult to see in broad daylight - too much glare). Early morning evening or night affords a very good view. Proper centering/positioning of the camera mount is critical, in order to be reliable for distance when backing up. ONLY when the Back-up switch is ON (you have to use the slide switch), and you are in REVERSE gear is the camera image on/visible. NO A/C power cord, as it would serve no purpose for use outside the vehicle. The power cord is similar to that of a cellphone or GPS unit. It plugs into the Accessory outlet. If I were to consider a purchase again, I would go with a direct-connect to an In-Dash screen, OR a Stand-Alone screen. Probably more than you asked for here. As with everything else, you get what you pay for...

I have it on the driver's side only so never tried that. You may have trouble seeing it from the driver's seat.

The pull-out view finder is small and not much shielding from the sun. Can try adding a rubber eye cup. Google in YT and check out how it looks to you.

It does in my 2008 Jeep Commander which already has a small vertical type windshield. so i dont use it all the time, but long high trips, its pretty cool how sturdy it is & well built. If u run a head phone jack like me, you know have a computer in the car to look at weather, play music (Pandota, utube, iTunes, etc.) I would recommend to a friend FOR sure. Its a nice LUXURY for trips over 50 minutes.

I have found it useless for my eyeglasses when I'm out hiking. I work up quite a sweat in our hills, and my glasses are usually covered in fog. This does not help a bit. If anyone has any workable suggestions I'd be happy to hear them!

This visor is not polarized so I don't think you will be able to see clearly through it at night. I love mine for the sun's glare, but I do NOT look through it to drive. I tilt it to block the afternoon sun from my eyes, but always have vision through my car's windshield and not the visor. I hope this was helpful.
