    hmmm if you turn your head and look, theres no blind spot.
    what do you think aeroplane pilots do? they crane their necks looking all around the cockpit windows.....theres no other way. why can't stupid motorists do the same?

    I have a 130 single cab with a canvas canopy back. The gritty plastic windows are useless to see throu to the rear. I put 50mm fish eye mirrors in the bottom of the defender side mirrors and installed a reversing camera in the rear of the tray that is 'on' with the ignition. It gives me 360 degree vision, totally eliminating all blind spots. It was a nightmare changing lanes before.

    Don't think they have much choice. Haven't seen too many side mirrors on aero planes.

    I have the answer, a wife in the passenger seat, they miss nothing. Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Apologies to all for going off topic
    I'm looking at a Reversing Camera for my 130.
    I've had a look at a few systems and shopped around and to me the one I favour uses a display that attaches to the central rear view mirror, is that what you went for?
