Yea I agree with the other posters, I don't find it to be distracting at all. When I first talked about ordering it my son was kind of worried it would bother him but once I had the vehicle he said it was no problem for him, As stated above the view does get a little 'wavy' I guess you could say when you're driving with it on but it's subtle, you have to look closely to notice it. It also does not stay on for more than a couple of minutes at a time, which I don't like when I need it to at least cycle off and back on. Doesn't work that way, it's just auto-off after a couple of mins. Where I live I wouldn't order one without it. No way.
