Yep all my screens and cameras were purchased separately 
Agreed on the screen size though, probably want at least 7" to make it worth while, possibly down to 4" ish if its right in front of you somewhere

It's to replace a rear view mirror in general use, not to watch a widescreen movie on.

DG's ripped a couple of cameras and some wiring from mine. I didn't fit them. Was an aborted instal by one of the previous owners. Assuming they're not in the bin, anyone who wants them is welcome to them FOC.

That screen is no use for the VX I think, pretty huge, the weight of it has overwhelmed my windscreen

I drove an Exige at the weekend and I was pleasantly surprised at how I relaxed into not having rearward vision. Didn't like reverse parking though between cars.

I haven't read this thread but just came across it searching for sometrhing else seeing as I've just installed a rear view camera. This is because when my folding GoCycle is on the back either in or out of the carry ba (big), I have limited rear vision, and as I'm travelling to Europe with it on the back I really needed more vision to the rear than the side mirrors give me. Last time I was on the autobahn at about 120/30 mph cars were passing me like I was standing still.
