    Do y'all have the mirror adjusted to the center? Mine cleared using the OEM or Anshiling mounts, just not mounted to the stock mirror.

    It's bolted to the windshield. If you turn it I think you can convince the visor to fold down. It's not ideal at all.

    It's bolted to the windshield but it still articulates on the post at 2 points and needs to be centered if you don't want the visor to hit.

    I don’t understand how you adjusted yours to move left or right using the OEM mounting plate. Sure it swivels on the ball but then the mirror is not pointed to your eyes. Could you elaborate on how you did this?

    I can try to get a video when I get home, but I think this Ford video may help - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdsBuJu7fnQ

    So you push the stem pivot to the right (pass side), then bring the mirror pivot back left to face the driver. I was able to adjust mine so that both visors narrowly miss the mirror but it still gives me a clear view. Luckily it's a screen so it doesn't have to be at the exact angle you might normally keep a rearview mirror, although I have turned the display off a few times and it seems to work fine from that angle.

    Awesome! Thanks for your guys’ input. Also @gaterose for finding a video on how to pivot it.

    I’ve been looking at purchasing the g900 pro for awhile but I just saw that the new 3 camera set up is available for preorder

    So I just wanted to justify getting it

    I feel like such a boob! I don't know why I'm just know learning about this. :rofl:Speaking of which...

    If you grab the front of the mirror with both hands and slowly slide it to the passenger side the entire mirror will move over and clear the visors. :humble:You can also tilt the sides of the mirror forward and backwards to get the front camera vision where you want it.

    I'm going to order that mount from Amazon for the rear camera and clean up the wiring a little more, but the visors clear!

    This is a clean install. Is the the wolfbox oem bracket? Did you use a 90 degree adapter for the power? Is it micro usb?

    Im planning mine and would to look like yours.

    This is the OEM bracket from Wolfbox. This is a 90 degree adapter. Usbc not micro.

    I wish I could find 90 degree adapters for the gps and rear camera inputs to make it extra flat. This is my biggest annoyance.

    I agree, all the individual separate connectors bother me.

    IMG_6442.jpg Just a quick review after my install:

    Pros: Display is amazing for all 3 cameras. Options are great. OEM mount works perfectly. G-sensor works really well, adjustable sensitivity. Included memory card has no issues. App works great for easy downloading to phone.

    Cons: if you really wanna hide the wires without distrusting airbags then it will take time to remove everything (a-pillars, going under headliner). Swiping between cameras with finger can get bothersome as I don’t have window tint and the main camera gets hot (no system problems yet).

    Cons with solutions:
    With the OEM bracket it is very adjustable and no issues with the visors. You will get a glare on the front camera, polarized lens is a must! I have the rear camera set up behind driver temporary since I plan to mount it with the headliner, did not want to use tape on the moving rear mirror. Same goes for 3rd camera except I’m mounting it to overhead switch panel. If you have the mirror pointed directly at you then you will get a glare from the light shining in from the rear windows, but tilt it up so the reflection comes from the headliner, but not noticeable when screen is on. All wires do not fit in the plastic that hid the original wire. My solution was to drill the plastic wider and deeper. All wires fit afterward.

    Overall: I love the system! 9.5/10. Brings great functionality and my main goal was to capture an accident or break in if it were to happen.

    Here’s some pictures:

    Also the photo on my phone I am able to see that silver cars license plate. Once uploaded on here the quality went down and made it blurry. Its a direct download from the app with added time/location stamps
