Good Monitor - Unreliable Mount

This is a kit that includes monitor, wiring and mount. I had the Geek Squad install it on the dashboard of my 2004 pickup. The monitor is paired with a backup cam (another brand) and the pairing functions well. The problem though--and I consider this a real problem with the iBEAM product--is that the circular, double sided adhesive pad included for use with the mount, failed almost immediately. The monitor is now dangling loose on my dashboard at the end of its cable because, while the suction cup still sticks to the mounting disc, the adhesive has completely given up on holding the mounting disc to the dashboard. I am now shopping for aftermarket adhesive pads. We'll see if any I find will stick better than the pad that came with this kit. Overall, I'm somewhat disappointed.

This monitor is very good. It is very clear and shows the area that you are trying to negotiate and even has the guide lines on the screen to help you. Also, it’s the perfect size, not too big or too small. And it fits perfectly on the windshield next to the driver and it doesn’t block out anything!

I bought this monitor to connect to a backup camera I installed on the car. The screen works well but more mounting options hardware should be included.

This is a good quality and simple display. We used it as a backup camera screen in an older work truck. It’s not ultra high def or anything fancy but it is effective and gets the job done! We would recommend this product.

a mix up on items were not ordered resulting in a new booking, this was done in a timely fashion, but i had to drive to the city again round trip of 200 miles.. the screen part of the set up kept falling off the windshield, as the protective film of the suction cup was not removed. not a big deal but as i was recovering from a broken arm it was none to easy and painful

I have a 2008 Sevring and really wanted a backup camera. This one is a perfect add on . The picture is crystal clear and makes backung into parkking spots super easy. Also eliminates the blind spots when backing out in parking lots

I was not aware if attached to the back window of a car. It would be useless in the back window of my pickup
