99 Ford Explorer Limited Rear View Mirror Functions

These radios are amazing. Installed in my Jeep above my rear view mirror and I am stoked about it. It’s small enough to not be in the way but is great for communicating with fellow Jeep’s. I used the ghost antenna so that it didn’t get wiped out by limbs on the trail. I’m thinking of purchasing the 6db antenna to help increase my range. I feel you can’t go wrong with this radio! Will be purchasing another for my sons Jeep.

I bought these to use in my Ford Explorer to attach my I Phone. to the auxiliary jack to listen to Pandora through the car speakers. It works great

I'm happy with it, but sometimes it makes it impossible to turn off view file extensions in windows explorer unless I reboot.

I recently purchased a Celestron Starsense Explorer DX 130AZ telescope and although the 25mm and 10mm eyepieces that came with the telescope were okay, I decided to use the 25mm and upgrade the higher power with the 9mm X-Cel LX with a wider field of view and six-element lens system. It was obvious the first time I used this new eyepiece the quality and view was so much better. I also purchased the 5mm X-Cel LX for those closer views.

In the mid-1980s I bought a Nikon 7.5mm f5.6 circular fisheye. Being an older design (1966) its rear elements protruded into the mirror box. Fortunately my F3 had a hard physical mirror lockup. The external viewfinder for this lens attached to the camera on the original Nikon F/F2’s proprietary flash shoe. I was able to buy an AS-3 flash adapter for the F3. With the F3s mirror locked up I also had to use an hand-held light meter. With amazing depth of foield focusing was never an issue. The old zoom lens had six filters on a wheel. One was a skylight and the other five were strongly colored for B&W film. While I liked the circular results, using the lens was a hassle. I often had my shoes or forehead in the picture. On a sunny day, my images suffered from solar flares. My new Nikon 8-15mm AF-S fisheye has none of those old problems. It fits on my DSLRs without any problem. It doesn’t need an external finder or separate light meter. At the 8mm setting (and lens hood off) I get a circular image very much like the vintage fisheye. The new lens is faster and focusable. Like my 14mm f2.8 Nikkor, this zoom uses gel filters inserted in the rear of the lens. I really don’t like this arrangement. This fisheye is similar in weight and size to the 14mm lens. I am also not fond of the electronic aperture control first seen on G lenses. Without an aperture ring one cannot use this zoom on older cameras. At the longer end of the zoom range (12-15mm) the image fills the (FX) frame and lens hood stays out of the way. This image is similar to my inexpensive Bower (Samyang?) 8mm fisheye with its fixed lens hood (and DX coverage). So far I haven’t used my new lens much but I think I will like it.

This is actually way better than the RC-5 primarily because it may be used to activate mirror-lock and bulb-shutter functions in addition to the regular shutter release or 2 second delay. Amazingly, the price has not really increased over the RC-5. Get one!

The sound is excellent, as with all the Sonos speakers I have heard, but the stereo image is very limited unless rear speakers are added. Bass response fine in my medium sized room. Sound is one or two frames late on HD from my elderly Panasonic recorder, but correct on my Panasonic TV. I have rated this product five stars for its results with Sonos Play rear speakers. Alexa integration, however, still needs work.

This works well as a head strap but it also works if you want to use it to wrap around something that may be easily scratched. This could mean the side view mirror of a car or maybe just to wrap around your pet. Over all, this product is one to have handy.

This rear cam is small enough to not interfere with your view out your back window. The picture quality is great!!!
