About to pick up a new off road Coromal in
Brisbane can anyone point me in the right direction for a good quality reversing camera one that shows half the screen on the rear vision mirror?? What are the pit falls to look out for?

I would not waste my money on a reversing mirror screen
The camera part cannot overcome the reflection in the mirror.
I have tried all sorts including that and now use a Polaris screen on the dash that supports two cameras.
I even tried getting matt finish plastic film to cover that part of the mirror.
Was not a success.
My Cruiser has very dark tint on the side and rear windows and its still got too much refection for the screen.
Its your money but I would suggest you Google "Safety Dave" or "Sidewinder" and talk to them about it.
My mirror screen is still there but I disconnected the power and just use it as a rear view mirror.
Another thing they are bigger and heavier and on bumps etc they tend to drop with their own weight.
I had to make up a little clip that hooked over edge of the roof console and held the lower edge of the mirror from dropping.

We have a camera on the rear of the vehicle which is activated when in reverse on the screen in our dash (built in navigator)
We also have a separate camera on the back of the van for constant rear vision which is permanently on in a small screen stuck on the windscreen for this purpose.
I find them both great assets when using the van. Small cars can sit close behind the van without showing in any mirrors but the camera sees them.
I remove the extra screen when using the camper trailer.
On the van we have a 12 pin plug with the video going through this connection.
The 12 pin socket on the vehicle takes the 12 pin for the van or the flat 7 pin for the camper trailer.
Lots of possibilities.
