It doesn't solve the blind spots you refer to but it's much better. My motivation for the installation was due to a nearly too close encounter with one of those steel concrete parking lot posts that are not tall enough to be seen through the rearview mirror or even neck cranking to look through the rear window. When I finished backing up, and shifted into first gear, I then looked through my side mirror and damned near crapped at how close I came to hitting the damned thing. So, the blind spot right behind the car is what I was wanting to overcome. I don't care what kind of camera systems are available as there are always going to be some blind spots even a camera is not going to pick-up...unless you had a camera mounted on a tripod 3' over the car that shows a panoramic view of everthing in the area. As you can see in my picture of my driveway, through the camera, the blindspot view is excellent from a distance, but it won't help at all if some idiot comes running past my driveway from the hedge side without checking to see it a car might be coming. Once I reach my hedges..it's slow as she goes. I wanted something that was going to be relatively simple to install and I did not want to replace the stereo system, muck with the wiring, etc., and somehting that didn't cost an arm and a leg.
