the iPhone mirroring works now, since November update but its still not great (there are black borders on both sides) so its not full screen! Now I've used SmartView from BimmerTech prior to this system for more than a year and came to this system thinking that I really need this mirroring option but guess what I haven't used it since I moved to Avin. I don't see any advantages of mirroring while I have everything I used to use mirroring for build in to Android!

I was going to get the GF the DVR setup as well, but it's $150...has anyone else gotten it or tried something different? I just found this on eBay, I like that it's dual camera, but I'm not certain if it'll work. I've asked AVIN to refund the camera price, and on the chance it doesn't work, looks like I'll be back to buying their camera and paying shipping as my learning lesson.
