I like my original rear view mirror in my car (it automatically dims at night, opens my garage door...). Does this camera replace the factory mirror?

This camera is placed in front of the factory mirror, you would have to lift it slightly to push any buttons on the original mirror. It comes with night vision for the camera, but not for the mirror, I don't believe the tint changes for day and night

That feature is a part of your vehicle not the mirror.So if your old mirror did it, so will the new one. All of the features your old mirror had this one will have it too.

Hi, Ours is mounted to the original rearview mirror. It gives you a much wider and easier to use mirror, as the size is longer and wider than the one it attaches to. It is out of the way and inconspicuous. It is as cleanly mounted as one would hope for. :)

I ordered the one with the sensor because I have that large black box with auto dimming mirror, 911, and Assist controls.It fits perfectly. I don't have auto dimming headlights.

It works great at night. The view behind your car is illuminated by the backup lights (which also power the camera on my car). Also, the camera I got also works in infrared - so even if the backup lights were burned out, I would still see a picture (I think). But maybe you mean "does it work just as a mirror at night?" Yes, it works fnie as a mirror. When the LCD display is off, it's a great mirror, with a much wider view than the mirror that came with the car.

It doesn't work well with my 2014 Ram 1500. the wiring is too short and you cant see the screen in the mirror in the daylight. I would recommend the factory camera.

No, this unit must be installed directly to the header panel or molding and replaces your original mirror. Also, if you like and use the day/night toggle feature of your factory mirror, this unit doesn't have that.

Unfortunately, no. For the price this is a pretty good unit. Ive bought a few different models and all were junk, especially at night. To be very honest with you the best ive come across is my own cell phone. I don't know what type of phone you own but on my Galaxy they have a FREE APP that not only records the video, has a map, speed, etc and you don't need to show the speed or other information if you choose not to. If you own an old cell phone, or don't talk while driving that's the best bet. Otherwise this rear view mirror is the best ive seen and I searched extensively

This mirror is for the outside driver side mirror, as a replacement. Only the front side (what you see in the picture) is a mirror; the back is plastic and wiring. It fits inside your existing mirror housing.

you will need to lift/press down the lever on your existing mirror, better way for me is to lift it so it will point to my roof and since its kind of dark I see way much better

No, you'll have to remove the door panel and disconnect the original plug. The new mirror will connect right up.

The mirror simply clips onto your original rear view mirror. Very simple. The whole system is very nice. I like mine a lot and I am very satisfied with it.

No. it does not. if you get the mirror, you will be disappointed. the mirror does not have a brighten screen for the day time. I ended up using the little flat panel one and it works fine. the backup camera will work with either one.

Brain, I just installed this mirror. Koolvue CV45EL-S is the driver side mirror, it has power fold, puddle lamp, heat, auto dimmer, power adjust and turn signal. This mirror is an exact match to the GM original. The mirror doesn't have memory, memory is programmed into your power window switch. Are you replacing a mirror or doing a DL8 to DL3 upgrade? I did the complete upgrade and can provide you with details of what is involved (curt@diskwizards.com). My mirrors work GREAT and have had no problems at all.

Mirror quality is good, ....and it functions as well as the original mirror. A great quality product...that does what it is advertised to do.

It is similar to a regular mirror flipped to the night mode. The reflectiveness is not adjustable. It takes some time for your eyes to adjust. The only other options I could find were; the regular mirror with a very small image on one side of the mirror, or a separate monitor on or in the dash. Seems all options have a trade-offs. This seemed to be the best option for the money in my case. I use it in my pickup truck.

Yes and no. Once you install this device it essentially covers your existing mirror with a mirror of its own.So you will no longer have the mirror you have now, but the new one that is essentially a part of this device, think of it as a rear-view mirror with cameras attached.
