how does the monitor attach to the dashboard, and what is the viewing angle of the camera?

The monitor is mounted on a hard coiled wire that plugs into the 12V outlet. Works okay.... but not nearly as good as the factory unit in my F150. The screen is too small for my old eyes but it is usable and sure helps when backing up to a trailer. I do not leave is mounted all the time though. I take it off and store it in the console.

Really can't say. I returned the unit because it seemed too likely to break if used as frequently as I would use it. The battery connection would not last. I did buy the Hopkins Smart Hitch Camera Sensor . It requires wiring but it was very simple to hook up, and is on Amazon for a lot less money. If you can either do it yourself or find someone to install it for a reasonable price it is a MUCH better set.

monitor is on a bendable shaft that can be shaped to any angle and simply plugs into cig lighter or 12volt power outlet on vehicle. Usually i remove after each use and stowaway in console, plugs in and adjusts in a second,

1) It doesn't attach to the dash. It plugs into the cigarette lighter. It is on an approx 12 inch stiff cable. you can twist and bend the cable to see the monitor and the stiffness of the cable holds that position.2) I don't know the exact viewing angle of the camera, but with the trailer attached and the camera on the handle of my pickup tailgate, I can see the bumper and ball/trailer hitch at the bottom, the trailer at the top and the just see the side of the trailer side to side. Very adequate field of view.

It doesn't attach to the dashboard you plug it into your 12 volt charger plug and the monitor stays in place with a stiff yet flexible cable.

The monitor is attached to a bendable metal arm that plugs into the cigarette lighter. As far as the viewing angle I couldn't tell you. The monitor is unviewable once the camera gets more than a couple of feet away from it. Lots of static. I returned my unit.

Comes with a bracket that screws to monitor. Then that brackets slides onto stand.

The camera has a short wire to a transmitter and the monitor is connected to a receiver. Thus, there is no wires to run the length of the car, which would have to be routed and hidden.

How does the camera attach to this-is it the screw mount, so perhaps other cameras can use it?

You can attach this unit to the dashboard as long as you can find the flat surface for the suction cup. This product desires a 5star rating because the build quality is good

I am not sure which way of the image is looked as mirrored. Mine looks straight to me. I mounted mine upside down, which means cable is on the top and camera is on the bottom. To be more specific, I see driver side of my car on the left-hand side of the screen. Hopefully, this will help you out.

Yes, it is. When it comes there are small rubber inserts where the mounting threads are, just use a paperclip end to remove them and the threads to mount the monitor are revealed.

that is a great question however I do not have an answer for you. I apologize. My camera is mounted in a Super Duty truck and I used the bracket that came with the kit about it to the dashboard.

Just used it in the backrest...not sure how it would hook up to dashboard, unless you have a special rod to secure it to up front

The monitor is very portable. The camera is difficult to place if not wall-mounted. When we travel, we generally need to stack books or boxes on a shelf to get it angled properly to view like we do at home.

The specifications list the view angle. The camera mounting includes an eccentric cylinder for aiming the camera. The view angle is not adjustable and, based on my experience, should not be. The monitors use hinged brackets or ball mounts to allow adjustment.

The monitor does create a grid (in meters). It does not seem to be accurate even when adjusting the angle of the backup camera and setting the 1 meter point to 1 meter, the other marks are not to scale. Not a big deal when you set the closest mark to the closest distance you would want to park to someone or something. As far as changing the angle, I have not found any way to change that.

Yes, the monitor is built into the rearview mirror. You can attach the backup camera power cords to the backup lights. Whenever you shift into reverse, the camera powers up and the picture on the left part of the mirror shows up. When the camera is off, you only see the mirror.

i have a regular monitoring camera attached to it. since it is a little heavy, I used a couple of screws to hold it on the base (since it has just a plastic clamp) so I decided to do that for extra support. the camera is hooked to a TV thru RCA cables, so far the unit has worked fine, only negative aspect is that sometimes I wish it can move faster..

On my monitor, the only thing in the rear center is the interchangeable battery mount. Maybe you're seeing the connector for that mount?

Standard monitor mount set-up. There are sliding brackets that screw right into the back of your monitor.
