Has anybody remover their rearview mirror? I'd like to replace it with a monitor and hook it up to a camera since my tire blocks the use of it. It's only good for the map lights and watching passengers in the back pick their nose. Also could I use the existing wiring to tap into to power a monitor?

I think the member Trail Bud has done this as well as others. Shouldn't be a problem for you but, I don't know if you can tap into the power.

I removed my rearview mirror and I have a camera and monitor to install ... but haven’t installed it yet. :crazyeyes:
But when I do, I plan to power it directly to the battery.

Please post what you do. I'm terrible at electrical but I'm going to give it a shot.

Unscrewed the set screw on the bottom and slide it up. It should slide right off but don't use too much pressure.
