We got a reverse camera installed on our car and the display is installed on the rearview mirror.
I am finding it a little difficult to view the surrounding traffic as now the screen is black on which we see the reflection.
ANyone been in the same situation? any tips on how to resolve it without getting a new car reversing system installed?
Reverse Camera issue

Sounds like an elcheapo Chinese mirror. When you say the screen is black, is it also saying "no signal" or something like that? When not in reverse, the screen should be off completely, so you can utilise the mirror properly. Depending on the mirror type, if it's not an electrochromatic mirror (i.e. self dimming) then it only needs to be powered when the vehicle is in reverse. I'd say who ever has installed the system has powered the mirror off ignition or accessories.
