Correct. It’s referred to at different online stores as “Desview,” “Besview” or “Bestview” All three appear to be the same 7” 4K monitor. $249 at B&H Photo (bhphotovideo.com)

I'm also looking for a rear view camera system. It's shocking how useless the rear view mirror is in my 718 CS. I was looking at these two options. Any direct experience or advice between these two styles?

brandmotion: I tried this and it was nowhere close to bright enough for this purpose. Sadly also expensive to install.

I would think the 7” would work but would round up on brightness.

I did find a professional grade product but did not bite the $$$$ bullet. I think it was this. https://www.gntx-r.com/civilian-products

keep us posted.

I recently saw a 718CS with an inexpensive rear view system in which the display covered the car's interior mirror. The driver was very pleased with it. I'm pretty sure it was a Wolf Box unit, but don't know which model. If I recall correctly the camera cable lead to its plug was relatively short, which made it easy to connect inside the hatch, with the balance being the cable to the display. I don't recall how the device was powered.

Maybe worth considering is the Gentex unit https://www.gntx-r.com/civilian-products, bit spendy at ~$2500 but from what I've seen pretty solid system, well designed. Have a system on order for the R8.

Thanks for the tip on Brandmotion. That was one I was considering. I also saw that Gntx-R and was curious what the heck you get for all that $$$. But, for me, the visibility seems so poor that I don't wanna go out again in it until I have this resolved with some manner of quality rear view camera.

Interesting. I'll have to check out Wolf Box. Thanks!

Yes, this is the one that has me intrigued. They're out of stock at Voxx, but I wanna give them a ring to understand the diffs between this one and the lower-priced ones we've come across. Of course, it's the same money as one set of N2's, so...

I was in the same place as you. I think you should bite the bullet and get the R system, which will take you awhile. Meantime, take off your rearview mirror system entirely and just use your side mirrors. Plus if you just go fast and smooth you don’t need to worry about who you’ve already passed!!

I bought a set up off Alibaba(?) just to try it out after watching a guy on Youtube who put one on his track car. Waterproof, wide angle lens, big screen and the camera is not crazy large. I haven't installed it yet but I think it was less than $100, certainly under $200. So... who knows? My though was, it can't be worse than the mirror situation which, parenthetically, I will leave in place.

I'm still trying to get this sorted. Tried a less expensive unit and it was uselessly dim and washed out. I'm now thinking I should just bite the bullet on the GNTX-R. Not having that rear view mirror just feels super dangerous to me -- especially running in mixed groups with lots of Cups and GT1 cars buzzing around me. Anybody have firm info on the WolfBox (or other advice)? Trying to decide if it's worth even giving this a try:

I have a GNTX-R that I never installed that I'd be willing to sell. They've gone up in price since I bought it.

Thanks much. PM sent.
