You fully changed the rearview mirror against an electronic monitor solution? Is that legal? Or did you use one of those mirrors that have a little monitor built in under the mirrored glas?

it legal because there is a camera that acts as the rear view in the trunk

Panel vans don't have a rear-view. I don't think they're required by law.

probably depends on state law.

In CA I believe the minimum is:

- 2 x side mirrors
(or)
- 1 x rear view mirror

So you could paint your rear window black, as long as you have 2 side mirror, e.g panel van

As long as you have both your side mirrors, you don't need a rear view.

Surely didn't want to play the cop here, just wondering.

I thought about a rearview camera to help with the bad visibility looking out diagonally to the rear. When I am in a parking spot and there are cars on both sides of me, it is really hard to see what's going on behind. Especially in the manoeuvre when you have to turn out of the parking spot while backing up. Either the C-pillar or the center pillar get in the way. I find it is even worse on the drivers side. Ideally there would be two wide angle cameras. One by each rear light, mounted so that the field of view overlaps in the center line of the car (i.e. straight back) and so that each camera points to the rear and side of the car in about a 45 degree angle. Then it would be cool to have a rearview mirror with two little screens on the left and right and just a mirror in the center.

Where did you mount the rearview camera? Did you have to cut a hole? What's the angle of view you are getting? Any trouble with headlights from the cars behind you? I imagine they shine right in which could lead to overexposure (just a bright white image).
