Rear View Mirror
My mirror is full of goo. (No, not that kind you sicko.)
I want to replace it. I've seen some of teh newer F150s and SuperDuty trucks that have a 3" LCD embedded in the mirror such that it comes on when you hit reverse.
Anyone ever install one of these bad boys?

I installed a TadiBrothers rearview mirror in the '01 Ex with embedded LCD. I use it for the camera on the back of the enclosed car trailer. Installed the wireless receiver above the upper console.

I used a Ford Explorer mirror. Like $20~$30 on eBay and super easy to install.

I added backup camera and a mirror with display. My mirror adventure starts at post 108 in the build thread in my signature. I like it.

Have a link to what you purchased?
Can you adjust and/or remove the red/yellow/green guide lines on the screen?

You can turn off the guidelines. They aren’t as useful as in a new car where they are tied into the steering. These ones just stay straight. It is useful to figure out where the rear bumper is though.

Gotcha, you're one of those people that edits the first post. (I'm not used to that because a lot of forums that I'm on cut off editing after about 30 mins.
Gentex is the OEM for Ford.
Between Gentex and Donnelly, they make most of the world's rear view mirrors.
OE quality is what I'm looking for.
