Cipa is the OEM manufacturer for most autos sold so it was great to have a mirror that not only fit the the window mount but the factory wire harness plugged right in. No fuss no muss.

The first thing I saw upon opening the box is a notice stating that any warranty claim must be accompanied by a signed receipt from an installer who installs car accessories such as radios or alarm systems. What a turn-off! I bought this for $99 on sale at Amazon along with many others as the item sold out quickly. I am willing to bet that most folks who purchased at this price point are DIY people, and are not planning to spend another couple hundred to have this installed. This was not mentioned in the listing on Amazon. I was thinking strongly about returning it on principle, but I really wanted to give it a go and for $99....what the hey.
So after bench testing it, and ordering a 6 foot s-video extension cable, I installed it in about 4 hours this afternoon. If I had to do it again it would take maybe an hour, but the first time around requires learning how to hide the wiring, where to tap into 12 volts, and running the s-video cable to the rear of the vehicle. At the end of the day it works ok, but the picture is on the small side. Still, it should be ok to avoid backing into or over things, and it'll help with trailer hitching. I installed it on a 2007 Dodge Ram Quad Cab and as mentioned the supplied cable was not long enough. A 6 foot extender was $7 plus change delivered from an Amazon supplier, so no big deal.
Hopefully, it will hold up in the weather or not fail for any other reason as I guess I'm on my own with no warranty. If you want a warranty and intend to install it yourself, then don't buy this.

CIPA 70100 Chevrolet/GMC Magna Extendable Power Replacement Towing Side Mirrors (Sold in Pairs) Review

When I first received this product one of the mirrors was not attached to the motor mount correctly so I requested a replacement and sent the defective mirrors back with the included directions and the two CIPA HOT SPOTS mirrors.
I received the replacement mirrors a few days later and the electric mirrors were fine this time but one of the CIPA HOT SPOTS (#49702) mirrors was broken and the included installation directions were for a different model of electric mirrors.
I did not send the mirrors back this time and I did not request a new HOT SPOTS mirror. I looked up the installation instructions online and went ahead and installed the electric mirrors without difficulty. They work fine.
These mirrors were sold at about half the price that I was able to find locally so in general I am please with them. The HOT SPOTS mirror looked like it was broken due to inadequate packaging from the factory.
