New price: $210 shipped.

Hey guys, I have a BRAND NEW 2004 SAVV LBM-X5000 5" SECURITY REAR VIEW MIRROR MONITOR for sale. I purchased it thinking that I would use it but I lied to myself. I originally purchased it from Custom Distributing for $299 but am getting rid of it for $210 OBO shipped because I'm tight on cash :\. Here are some pictures of the unit:

Here's what it looks like when it's connected (this is not my picture, I never installed mine):

Thats really nice, but too expensive for me.

I have a questio though, is the screen always on or does it turn on when you put the car in reverse? Also if the screen is off are you still able to use it like a mirror?

The screen comes with a wireless remote and a reverse remote trigger. The screen with automatically switch source to AV1 (CAMERA setup) when you switch your car into reverse if you want that feature set-up in your car. If you don't want that feature, you don't have to setup the reverse remote trigger and it will act like a monitor with 2 AV inputs that you can switch (eg. Dreamcast or carcomputer)

The wireless remote (which is as small as a pioneer credit-card remote) can control the inputs as well as the volume (yes, it has a built-in speaker)

AND YES, OF COURSE it is a mirror when the monitor is off. Since the monitor is on the left side of the mirror, it can still be used a mirror when the monitor is on, only that you can't see in the 5" portion of the screen...that's it.

I ment to ask if the screen acts as a mirror when it is off. Sorry for the confusion.

Does anyone have one of these Mirror Monitors installed with their carputers? It's kind of a cool idea but I'm afraid that the screen size is too small.

Too small!? Oh my...it's a 5" screen on your rearview mirror. That's a huge screen. The lilliputs and xenarcs are 7" and this one is just 2" smaller...ON YOUR REAR VIEW MIRROR! That's a massive monitor. I included a picture of it installed in someone else's car...take a look at that.

If you're looking into this monitor being your primary monitor...then it may be too small...but if it's for passengers or for yourself to just sit back and relax to watch a movie on or some winamp visualizations on...this is definitely the monitor to go for. Although it can be a primary monitor...it would be best if it's your secondary...just my opinion.

I have one installed... It is a monitor I use for rear view camera only. I have av1 set up for always on (so I can leave it on when driving and eliminate my blind spot completely - also useful when you are transporting things!) - av2 is set up for auto-reverse-trigger as mentioned above. This is wonderful because of its simplicity. You can be in a parking lot, kid runs behind your vehicle... you can picture the rest!)

Anyway, I have a slightly different model then the one above, but it is also a SAVV.

While I think this is very, very cool, it's not in my budget right now.
What I am curious about...
I've got a manual transmission. Would the remote reverse trigger work for this (or anything similar, should I decide to install a reverse camera)? Would it splice AV2 into the backup lights or something?

Yes remote trigger will work with manual. The reverse trigger will work with any car whose back-up lights light up when you shift into reverse. (That's every car. The mirror comes with a wire that is dedicated to the reverse light (so you would have to splice the the reverse light wire to this remote trigger wire) and when it senses a signal from it it switches sources automatically without you having to (ie. backup camera).
