Saw one today on a truck and it looked pretty good. Solves a lot of problems for aux. switching etc.

Disregard below. I just looked and you have the other one...



I installed one in my 5 ton, thread is HERE.


I've definitely enjoyed mine, it wasn't too hard to install.

Word of advice, the step bit that comes with it did not make it through drilling the hole for my camera. Use your own....

Installation was pretty straightforward, the only issue I had was due to the mount, the monitor is designed for a bottom mount, and the console is a top mount, but you can change the orientation of the video.

Nice idea... but imho very, very expensive. Too expensive!
This is a sheet metal frame that can be finished on a folding bench within half an hour. Sheet metal for 5 dollars and a switch for 40 dollars.
Then we add some labor for development and design. Plus a small wiring harness.
If someone came to me and wanted something like that, I'd take 500 off their hands because I'd do it once and then probably never again.
If I produce it in series, my production costs are maybe 200 dollars.
