Serious flaws
Really wanted to like this, but it has some flaws that make it unusable for me:
* When you turn on the car, the rear view mirror gets blocked with a big, bright gaudy AUTO-VOX logo for a few seconds. This happens every single time I start the car. When I start the car, I want to be looking through my rear-view mirror, not watching AUTO-VOX's advertising.
* No way to set the rear view camera feed to come on only when the car is in reverse. Instead, when you start up the car, after the annoying auto-vox logo finally goes away, the rear view mirror gets blocked with the rear-view camera feed for a full minute--even if you are going forward! I want the rear-view feed to come ONLY when I put the car in reverse, and I want it to never show up when the car is not in reverse.
* Camera does some weird jingle song when you shut off power. There is a setting to disable the jingle, but that setting also disables the touchscreen beeps that you need to hear when you try to press a button on the touchscreen.
* Weird horizontal white stripes on video. The video looks like the low-quality closed-circuit cameras you seen in convenience stores in the 80s.
* Touchscreen is laggy/slow, especially the brightness adjustment.
* Absolutely zero support from the manufacturer. I tried to contact them, but it's been radio silence from them. Good luck trying to get a warranty repair.
