Can you mount it on your bicycle for the rear view of what's going on right behind you? Does it recharge or do you need electrical?

Need 12 volts DC power the units. The battery will weigh more than a couple mirrors. And cost less. Put on a motorcycle. This device is designed to operate with anything that has 12VDC power. By the way, install was less than 30min. in my sedan.

Have no ideaThe product installation was so complicated I had to get Best Buy to install it

You must have 12 volts to make it work, I think it would be hard to mount on a bike and in the sun I don't think you could see the monitor.

Yes, you can mount it anywhere but you must have power to operate the camera and the viewer; I think the have a six [6VDC ] volt unit. this does not used much current.

I bought this to install in my 21ft motorhome for obvious reasons. The camera was mounted above the license plate and the wireless display was plugged into the cigarette lighter receptacle. It was great for me but do not think it is appropriate for a bicycle.

no....that's too far a distance from the sensor to the unit.the alternative it to use a wired version with the sensor on the rear wheel & the unit mounted up front. I do that setup on a recumbent. You will need to get a longer cable; local bike store or cateye direct will be able to assist you with the longer cable. Another option is to mount the unit to the rear of the frame above the sensor on the rear wheel. I also did this type of setup on a recumbent, but i found it annoying that i had to stop & dismount to see the readings..

Use 2 of these units. One mounted on the front windshield and one on the back. You may need an extra long power cord for the rear.

Yes it can be wired to the reverse sensor so it shows you a rear view camera.

Yes, that is true. The bike has a rear rack mounted to it already which is for the battery. Panniers are not an option on this bike. I recommend to my customers who wish to carry items while riding to procure some type of basket that easily hooks onto the handlebar or use a backpack.

I commute to work via bicycle and it cuts my battery drain in half. I like to run a GPS tracking program when I ride and it's rather battery intensive. The phone mount is all plastic but seems pretty sturdy. It hasn't dropped my phone and I have a pretty rough ride in some places. The dynamo was difficult to mount, but I have a folding bicycle and I'm sure the compact design had something to do with it.

If you have given direct battery connection, it can record vandalism at front and the rear with the motion sensor. But there is no video coverage at the sides.

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?

The camera power source is your backup light wire. No additional bracket is necessary at the license plate. Save your money, though. Mine does NOT work and Garmin refuses to make it right. Want to buy mine? I'll make you a great deal!

I mounted a second camera to the rear of my camper trailer. I should have done it a long time ago! The ability to see what is behind you and when you have clearance to move over a lane is invaluable. I had to find a RCA cable long enough to reach from the trailer to the truck (36'). Radio Shack had them.

We had our's mounted by an auto electric professional, due to the amount of work needed. He only charged us for 3/4 of an hour labor. Well worth it. The camera itself is mounted to the metal license plate frame. But a hole had to be drilled thru the hatch door to access the backup lights' circuit. However, the picture quality in various light conditions is very poor compared to a factory camera system. Therefore, my wife never uses it. I've never owned a vehicle with a backup camera or warning system, so I don't miss having one. If we could have a re-do, I'd opt for buying a vehicle with the factory system thru the nav system display. Good Luck!

The camera requires a power source, recommended source is the backup light circuit on the vehicle so the camera will turn on/off when using reverse. Brackets are provided for mounting the camera.

I love it. I purchased this devise last fall to use to charge my gps unit on my bike. It is very easy to install. Hard wire to battery with quick connect as well. Works great. Looks great. Very much worth the money. Hope this helps.

Yes, you will need to wire it so that it is powered from a switched power source, or you can wire it directly and just remember to turn the GPS off when the bike is off. I actually grafted a power plug onto the end and plug the GPS into my power socket on the dash.

I did side mount. I installed awhile ago, but don't recall seeing a rear mount.

I believe the light mount to bike handle bar using the large rubber band. Connect battery to light.

Mark I,d have to see the top tube on your bike .. However if you mount the mirror on top of the top tube I don't think you will get a view of what is behind you..the mirror is actually designed to be cradled / sorted by either the head tube and the top tube or the head tube and the down tube .. It takes two tubes to secure the mirror ..my first choice in bicycle mirrors is the German made one ..I don't use this one anymore
