Installed on a Leisure Travel Van Wonder (Ford Transit Cutaway 178” WB, HD).I’m impressed. The final result was worth the effort. It looks like it came from the factory only better because it’s a dash cam and not just a mirror. (The factory installed mirror only reflected the inside of the van because there is no rear window - only what looks like a window from the outside.) Useless.The installation in the cab was typical. The power was derived from the fuse box from behind the panel below the steering wheel. The Ford uses Micro Fuses so I needed to buy Micro2 Fuse Taps. (I’m sure AUTO-VOX would supply the fuse taps you need if you ask, but they are inexpensive and readily available.) There are a number of empty fuse locations in the Transit and I used one that had power constantly and another powered only when the ignition was turned to the ACC position. I removed the left “A” pillar trim pieces to hide the wires from the mirror to the fuse box below the dash. The cables were tucked from the mirror display into the headliner to the “A” pillar and down to under the dash.The GPS wire was run between the fiberglass top and the steel ford top and placed on top of the insulation separating the two.The video cable was run from where the power lead entered below the dash area for power, down along the door gasket to under the plastic covering the step well and through a convenient body plug located at the rear inside corner of the step well leading to the under carriage. Then the cable was run along the left and supported on the chassis bolts attaching the camper all the way to the rear. There is a space between the rear cargo area (the “Garage”) and the back of the van. I drilled a hole near the bottom of the fake rear window and mounted the camera there. (A flush mount camera would look better & I tried a 1080P flush mount camera, but the picture quality was noticeably inferior to that supplied by the AUTO-VOX camera.) In fact, the image quality of the AUTO-VOX camera is one of the best I have seen. (I do wish they made a comparable flush mount camera.)HOWEVER, after installation was complete, the unit would not format the Micro SD card. It was a 128gb card so I tried a second 64gb card with the same result. So I again contacted AUTO-VOX technical support via email. After trying a third card (a SAMSUNG PRO Endurance 64GB MicroSDXC Memory Card - recommended by AUTO-VOX) and it still failed, they sent me a new unit - it arrived the next day!!! (BTW, the new display mirror formatted all 3 cards successfully).I think this unit is a great addition to our camper van and of course it makes driving safer.Kudos to AUTO-VOX technical support. Even though I only contacted them via email (they are in Beijing), they were very, very responsive. From sending me a new mirror mount adapter to sending me an extension video cable at no charge! (I didn’t even ask!) Shout out to them for their great support, particularly Sasa and Gigi. Even when I had the settings wrong and the mirror only worked for 30 seconds at a time, Gigi kindly told me the settings to change (they were the default settings, so I must have changed them).I would highly recommend the AUTO-VOX T9PRO, especially to Ford Transit owners. It looks like it came from the factory but probably has a better picture from what I’ve read. I wouldn’t really know that unless I could compare them. There is a post by a user that has a Ford Transit High Roof and he explained how to modify the Rear View Mirror Cover Cap Trim behind the mirror for the wires to fit (very easy with a dremel tool).The quality of this system is high and the components are above grade. The picture quality I see in the mirror is excellent. I have reviewed the recordings on my PC and they are very clear. Hopefully this unit will last a few years. If it does fail, I’ll replace it with the same one if available. Oh, and did I mention the technical support is outstanding! 👏

Crystal clear backup camera with an impressive wide angle!Most important for my application, the T9PRO allows for a quick finger swipe permitting the video feed to pan down for easy docking of a trailer or backing up in extremely tight spots. This feature is dependent on the mounting angle so plan before finalizing that rear camera location.Another well thought-out feature is the two second hold of the screen which turns off the video display. Not particularly important when driving in the city but incredibly useful when navigating dark lit roads especially in foul weather.With the mirror set to driving mode, vehicle speed is displayed after a few seconds along with a compass which adds to the overall OEM appearance.The mirror arrived quickly and very well packaged which might be trivial to some, but to me this is just one less thing to worry about.With its versatile backup camera and front and rear video recording, the T9PRO checks all the right boxes and has exceeded my expectations.

The AUTO-VOX T9PRO is an excellent choice for those looking to upgrade their driving safety and convenience. This dual-camera dash cam features a 9.35-inch full-touch screen that is incredibly user-friendly and provides a crystal-clear view of the road. Its front and rear cameras deliver sharp 1080p video quality, ensuring that every detail is captured, whether during the day or at night.One standout feature is the parking assistance system, which provides precise guidance when reversing, thanks to its wide-angle rear camera. The T9PRO also offers a seamless installation process, with the camera integrating directly into your rearview mirror, reducing clutter on your dashboard.The device supports loop recording, G-sensor activation for collision detection, and a responsive touchscreen interface, making it one of the most practical dash cams on the market. Additionally, the anti-glare mirror surface ensures excellent visibility even in direct sunlight.Overall, the AUTO-VOX T9PRO strikes the perfect balance between functionality and design, making it a top pick for drivers who value safety, ease of use, and advanced features.Only feature I wish it had, would be Bluetooth capability to be able to access videos and photos through my cell phone.

Son had a AUTO-VOX CS-2 Wireless Backup Camera since 2020 and we decided to upgrade to the T9Pro by AUTO-VOX. Just finished the install over Christmas break from college. Very impressed with the overall ease of installation and feel/quality of the product. Took just over an hour for my son and I to install in his 2006 Mercedes CLS500. The instructions for connection of the 3 wires to fuse box/ground are simple and basic enough to understand. Plus they give you everything needed to connect them to fuse box. Also the rear view mirror fit on the current mirror bracket so another plus. But they gave adapters in case it didn't fit directly on. I thought the longest or hardest part was concealing the wires since the CLS500 is a sportier tight fitting Mercedes with not much room to maneuver around to easily. But since he has multiple fuse boxes in the car in different places made it easier. Love that it has both front cam and rear view since my son commutes from off campus and as a parent you always worry about their safety. Also worried about college kids or people breaking into car to steal the other dash mounted backup camera, so he would always try to hide it. Now since this looks OEM and replaces rearview mirror nobody can tell its not original to the car. Picture Quality is as good or better than our previous camera according to my son. He says night time vision is better on the new unit and the touchscreen and anti-glare are added benefits. He definitely loves his new gift and the upgrade. I love the gps sensor, recording capabilities, and 24hr parking monitor. Glad I stuck with auto-vox again! Writing this at night and he isn't home to take pictures. Will try to update with pics.
