Picking a Rear View Mirror/Camera setup

[That Beast Mode]

I installed the Hansshow 12" version 2.
first it's the best mod I did. I would not drive the truck without it. Not only you see behind, but you also see 2 lanes on each side of blind spots. I love it.
But it has a bug and Hansshow support sucks, and you can't speak with anyone. When I drive alone it's great but if any of the doors open before driver door, the camera comes on, the when you open the Driver door, the camera powers off. The only way you can turn it on again is to unplug the usbc power and plug it in again then it powers on. So now I have to tell my passenger don't close your door till I get in. Horrible support from Hansshow.
they should be ashamed of what they're doing. I'm sure it's not only me. I'm sure it's happening to others. Please let me know if you have the version 2 and if you have the same problem.

I have the same mirror as well. I have not tested the bug you mentioned but there is also another bug in that it knocks out some speakers on the passenger side. @Hansshow Technology customer service is horrible, I agree. It's a shame because like you it is my favorite mod and the mirror is great - but these bugs need to be fixed before I can recommend it.

My experience with their support is different than yours. Their engineer is in china but they would respond by email in 24hrs. They have sent me replacement unit of rear camera, front cable, rear cable, new software update, and the last bit that solved all issues was the new mirror cpu module when the camera was freezing. I only use the rear camera and it’s been working flawlessly 6m+ now. Granted I did not have the same issue like you. But the quick way to restart the camera is eject the sd card and put it back in Just be persistent with them they will come through. .

For my Wolfbox, I bought a small 48v to 12v inverter, and mounted it under the Frunk so that it's powered by the Front accessory power. I just turn it on with the CT control panel, and have it set to stay on for a while after I get out.
It comes on when I get in, and turns off a while after I leave. (Note: The front accessory power switch gets turned off every time the software is updated. Minor PITA.)
In the first photo below, you can see the little silver box that is the DC-DC mounted under the left side of the Frunk.

One of the reasons I like the s92 and there are several, is that the front cam is a separate small unit rather than mounted to the mirror like some of the others. There is in my opinion zero point in adding a second dash cam to Tesla’s, but I have found another use for that cam. Mine is mounted facing rearward in the front of the roof glass and functions as a back seat cam. This means I can either have a high res nice picture of my kids or a split screen view with them and the vault/back of the car.
significantly more useful in my opinion.
because I was an early adopter my s92 experience was less than stellar but I think most of the kinks have largely been worked out. The smaller s8 is a significant downgrade in terms of resolution and screen quality, not just size.
@Tesstudio often offers deals on these cameras too so it’s worth asking before buying on the website.

If you need a discount code, you can contact me directly.

I like that mounting location, what did you use to attach it to the screen?

The Dash tray I have has standard camera mounting points. I just used 2 of those (and a 3D printed base) to mount the dashcam.
