Jokes on them when they have to pay $1,000 when it goes out. All you have to worry about is knobs and relays and such.

but Nissan probably won’t sell an individual knob or relay. They probably sell the whole front panel, & want $700 for it.

Amen, brother! Preach it!
I still have to find a viable option for a rear view camera. I did have a fancy stereo with a big LCD panel which would have done the job, but I preferred the stock stereo and ripped out the replacement so I’m back to square one.

The camera I have uses a aftermarket rear view mirror for the display.

I was considering that, but I have this fancy OEM Mazda mirror I want to install, the one with the remote control and compass; $3 at the junkyard vs. $350 from Mazda...

Amen, I hate the ‘everything controlled by a touchscreen’ systems in a lot of new cars...there is no tactile feel for a touchscreen and I have to look at it to see what I am doing.
Give me the knobs and buttons in my Accent any day!

Get yourself a phone holder and buy something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Pearl-RearVision-Wireless-Obstacle-Reverse/dp/B01M065WRC

Junkyards are the best.
Just the other day my dad found an expensive suspension part at a junkyard called royal used auto parts for $40.
While there, we saw a 993? 911 Targa, M3, couple of AMG’s and more. The next time I go I’ll have to take pictures

I’ve already purchased the camera (built into a license plate frame). I just need to find a way to view the output. It would be great if I could somehow get it to display on my phone, preferably wirelessly.

Will do. I’ll see if I can dig it out after work.

No touch screen for me either
(not my car) THe only thing I wish we had gotten was the electronic climate control instead of the vacuum nobs (see Monaro)
