I bought one on Thursday and have just returned from Lidl having taken it back. It's a pretty good piece of equipment (as most things from Lidl/Aldi seem to be) but it takes up an enormous amount of the windscreen and is very intrusive. Having a mini video running only just out of direct eyeshot showing what you are seeing straight ahead is very off putting (it is for me, anyway). In addition the cable to the cigarette lighter socket adds to the distraction factor.
Are there any of these cameras available with bluetooth connection? That, coupled with a smaller mounting arrangement would make them much more attractive items. I imagine that, if such an item was available, the cost would be at least £150 more than Lidl are charging.
