Drove 7+ hours tonight from late afternoon to almost midnight. Realized another benefit to the ClearSight mirror.

If you've got passengers in the back with electronic devices (say two kids with iPads), the amount of light they generate can prevent a traditional mirror from working, but not the ClearSight.

It was a couple of hours after the sun went down before I even realized how bright it was in the back seat. But I could still see traffic behind me free of that light pollution.

 

Off topic. Is Clear Sight Ground standard on all Defender models?

 

Yes..

 

Actually on topic. The fact that it's an option on some trim levels was the reason for this thread.

 

Interesting ... I never noticed it when I was going through the options. Is it actually called clear sight ground mirror ?

 

I recall the ground view cameras are marketed as "'clear sight", I recall. One can see the confusion marketing might cause by using the same term for a standard feature (ground cameras) and an option one (rear view mirror).

 

Wait ignore me I was too asleep when I posted that. Clear Sight Ground? Does that mean the Off-Road view cameras?!?

I'm clueless this morning (more than usual).

 

Yes, the virtual view of the road under the hood. LR calls it Clear Sight Ground View

 

I love it...one of the best options. I didn't find that it took any time to adjust to using the clearsight...it was love at first (clear)sight! I do wish that it could be adjusted to show a slightly lower angle view.

 

I notice nobody has mentioned the lens getting dirty and having to clean it. I find I am always wiping the backup camera lens on my LR4 with my finger. Is this not much of a problem?
