Wolfbox G900Pro Rear View Mirror & Dashcam - Installed Review

[JorgeBarEst]

Thank you for sharing this! Nice work
I suggest that you can set the sensitivity of G-sensor to low or event turn that off.

hello, can you share the dimensions of the mirror?

How is the latency? My buddy has a RAM that has a camera rearview and the latency is just enough that it bothers me. He doesn't seem to notice it so it might just be I'm more sensitive to it.

I have the same install and it's basically 0 latency. As a gamer, I feel like I'd notice the same problem and I've never once noticed any delay.

Is it overly bright at night? Between the instrument cluster, infotainment, and rearview, is the total glare okay?

Just sharing my recent install of the @WOLFBOX G900Pro mirror/dashcam. It took me about 2 hours for install, and I'm very happy with how it came out. I pulled a lot of inspiration from this thread (AUTiger83's Install). A lot of good information and ideas there. Just sharing for anyone else interested in this camera.

So far I'm very happy with the performance. Video quality is great, rear cam virtually eliminates blind spots in the rear. G sensor is a little touchy, I live in Pittsburgh, PA and the roads aren't the best. A few good bumps and potholes set the recording off, but other than that it's been great.

My rear window is tinted, but so far it doesn't seem to affect the view too much. I haven't really got the chance to see what it looks like at night yet, so unsure there. Hope this helps out!

Looks great wish I was mechanically inclined like that sounds real complicated. I wonder how much it would cost to get that installed by someone maybe a custom shop?

Where did you buy that insert tray behind the touch screen?

I would guess a shop might charge you 2-3 hours of labor so maybe $200-$400 range for installation? They, wolfbox, have a dealer / installer search on their website, I'd start there if you were interested in getting a setup like this!

Great Install, how is the size of this Screen in comparison to the mirror? is there to much diference of size?

I don't have exact dimensions, but it is slightly larger than the OEM mirror, but isn't obtrusive in any way.

That is a Rubigrid by Bullet Point Mounting solutions, actually just installed that as well.

Latency is pretty good, I haven't noticed any real delay during my initial testing. Screen brightness is totally adjustable. I haven't had the chance to do some serious night testing yet, some twilight testing, which seemed fine.

I haven't noticed any real problems at night with brightness or glare. You have to accommodate the camera a little so I adjusted the angle, which took a lot of glare out of play inherently. I've set the brightness to a single spot that felt good and I don't think I've adjusted it, which I HAVE done to the dash brightness so it must be decently set for both night and day. The only real thing I've noticed is with the tint. Assuming there's nothing but car lights, it's hard to see anything else, but it's hard to see at night anyway, so I'm not sure what the barometer is.

EDIT: It's worth mentioning my rear camera is in the cab, not outside. I know people have done it both ways.

so when the camera/mirror isn't powered up. is it still reflective like a traditional mirror? or a blank screen and useless?

Still reflective.
It is just like using the OEM mirror at that point.
(you lose wider view angle)

Turning it off and using like the OEM mirror is exactly what
I do when glare gets too bad (i.e. having moonroof open on sunny day).

You could always route another camera and just change which one is plugged in when you need the other. You’ll just have an extra wire hanging there.

I read seeking "wireless" because not wanting to mess with wiring.
Otherwise the Trio "bumper" model would probably solve his/her issue.

That could work in theory, as long as you don't have a sunroof. There aren't many obstructions in the roof otherwise. You would just have to be mindful of the rear interior light, and the wiring and such around the overhead console.

I don't have a sunroof. I would remove the rear light lense so I can work around the wiring easier. When I open up the overhead console I will have better access to the wiring under the headliner. Someone has posted pics of their headliner dropped down so I can use it for reference for the wiring.
