Much improved rearview video feed
A few months ago, I got a Wolfbox G850. I was just blown away by it! And then I saw that Wolfbox got a G900 that has the enhanced rearview camera, so I jumped on it. Because while I was blown away by G850, I wished that the display was brighter, like an actual mirror. I know the technology is there because I have a factory digital rearview mirror from Toyota and it works just like a physical mirror. First the con: I’ve had it for 3+ month now, so I can confidently say that if there is any glitches, I probably experienced them all. I had two complains for the G850 – the mirror isn’t as bright and that the voice activated function is too sensitive and because it is listening constantly for command, it would do something unexpected. I got it fixed by turning off the voice command. Now for the G900 – I use the Wolfbox as a digital mirror because my 2025 Prius has a very narrow view from the stock rearview mirror. The screen (or you can say the “mirror”) for G900 is much brighter than the G850 so that’s a big step forward. I do have a 2022 Toyota RAV4 PRIME and it came with a factory digital rearview mirror (so that’s the gold standard) – and while G900 is not as bright and not come off as mirror, it is about 90% close to it. The night vision (which is the real stress test) is acceptable and much better than the G850 (tho the G850 is tolerable). So the G900 is in between the G850 and the Toyota digital rearview mirror. For this price point, you are getting a really solid bang for the buck! The G900 would all of a sudden while driving, switch from “rearview only” to a split screen with the front on the left and the rear on the right. It is easy to press one of the digital button -but it is a distraction and potentially a safety hazard because it does take your eyes off the road for a second (for me). However, it doesn’t happen enough - in my 3-4 months owning this device, it only occurred about 4 times. So it’s not a big concern that warrants me to call their customer service. The other thing with these cameras is that it is giving you what the rearview camera is seeing and pushes out to the display. But there’ll be a discconnct with the distance you’d see from the side-mirror. This is because the images in the side-mirrors are purposely made so that the object would appear closer than it actually is for safety purposes. The Wolfbox products displays objects as is. This is perfectly fine except when you are checking for traffic in the back, it takes a bit to adjust to when you are looking in the side-mirror and then look in the rearview mirror (or vice versa) so you’ve got to take that into consideration. Maybe with habit, your brain will adjust to it more quickly overtime. For the pro: It is much brighter than G850. The display for the rearview (which is 100%) what my review is focused on, is much much sharper than G850. It is also brighter, getting close to that of an actual “mirror” image – the resolution is there but I wished that it would be brighter (and I set the brightness on the highest scale available). The G900 version is high in resolution. Overall, you can see that it is a high quality product. There are a lot of nice features such as being able to view video from an app on your phone etc. I’ve not tried any of these – I just wanted something that can replace the stock physical mirror, no tech glitches and easy to see. The rest would icing on the cake for me so I’ve not bothered with them. I’d totally buy this product again! 5 stars! PS. I had Best Buy installed the G850 for me. With the G900, the only cable I needed to replace is the video feed cable – the GPS and the power cable are the adapters and I didn’t need to take them off. So this made the installation much easier on the tech and on my wallet. Best Buy charged me $99 for a professional installation on the video feed cam. Read more
