It has a USB C connector for power. So you can either feed it from one of the USB C ports or use a USB C to cigarette lighter adapter with the power cord that's included. I have a 120V 200W USB power source in the front storage compartment w/ a bunch of USB C and USB A ports, since I need to power a few different devices.

I'm thinking about moving the camera up to the top of the tonneau cover. Today was the 1st day I've used it in the rain and the spray down at the license plate mount was horrible. Hopefully a higher mount will help with headlight glare at night as well.

Hi All, bit different spin on the same ...

I'm ok with using the on screen rear view, but when I load dirt bikes (>1 which is most common), I have to leave the tailgate down and it doesn't work as it's pointing to the ground. I dislike the lil physical mirror as I'm sure most of us do...could use it because with bikes in the back the cover is stored so it could work with limited visibility. But....

I have a Garmin Zumo XT I use for long distance street motorcycle rides and I bought the Garmin BC 40 Wireless, Battery Powered rear view camera....installed the Zumo on the OEM Mirror 20mm ball and the BC 40 on the lic plate - now I have a rear camera view where a physical mirror goes and it works with the tailgate down!!!! Additionally, since Garmin it connects to my inReach sat messenger (no cell signal in Colorado mountains), topo maps, backup GPS, national parks/poi's/offroad/gas stations, etc extra "in mountains" functionality!

I dont plan on using all the time so didnt wire it to the Mirror 12v, nor the Truck USB-C (I may, we'll see)...it's quick release and I can charge off the USB-C in the center storage.


2nd Pic is with tailgate down....
3rd Pic is mounting - it all comes off easy (< 10sec), except the Tesla mirror arm.

I just finished a similar install using the Wolfbox G900 mirror. I used the original Cybertruck mirror mount and the ball sleeve STL that CYBERTRUCKco generously provided. I opted for a license plate camera mount since I don't have a cap and preferred that over the hitch mounted camera some people have used. Overall, I'm happy with it, since the stock rear view bar on the center screen is just too small for me to make out detail and I don't like it vanishing when I use the turn signals.

A few downsides in my opinion:

The 12" mirror is a little too big, 10" would probably fit better, block view less and resolve some of the clearance issues with the top power and camera inputs. As is, the USB C power and rear camera 2.5mm jack rub against the forward camera housing.

The camera FOV appears almost identical to the FOV in the center screen rear view mirror bar. It's bigger so you can make our more detail, but I'd really prefer an option to narrow the FOV on the display or just a narrower FOV camera.

The display could use a day/night mode. It's too bright at night and the contrast makes it look washed out.

I'm hoping that somebody develops a digital mirror that intercepts and splits the stock rear camera signal and lets you adjust and crop the image onto a 10" or so display with a Cybertruck inspired design. I'd happily pay more for something that looks like a factory accessory with more focus on function as a mirror replacement rather than a backup camera (i.e. narrower FOV).

Good feedback, thanks for it.

My tech did it, but behind the mirror mount, across the headliner, through back door through the sail down to the back of truck.

power is plugged in to the back seat charger, but could go tap into the running light on the roof light if you wanted no inside plug in.

Couldn’t you just wire it up into the hazard housing area? I think I’ve seen other rear view mirror installs utilize this method.

We ran the wires up inside the mirror housing unit

You know...The Cybertruck prototype HAD a digital rear view mirror!!! I will bet they killed it due to penny pinching cost cutting, like they did all over this truck....
