WIREDGreat camera quality. Wide-angle (150-degree) lens. Reliable wireless Car Play conversion. No dangling wires. Clean and minimal install.TIREDSplit screen shrinks Car Play. Camera-only mode disables steering wheel controls. Ottocast overlay interferes with Car Play touch buttons. Not compatible with Android. Auto-connects to last-used phone only, which is inconvenient for shared cars.When I became a parent, I wasn't prepared for the stress of cruising down the highway at 65 mph and having my toddler suddenly go quiet. Is she peacefully sleeping, or up to something suspicious? That question usually leads me to contort my body just to get a glimpse of the car seat in the rearview.

I’ve tried the back seat camera systems with dedicated monitors, but they quickly crowd my dashboard and come with a tangle of wires begging to be yanked by the aforementioned toddler.
