Wolfbox G900 Pro Rear View Camera & Mirror -- Review & Comparison

[Frankie945]

The G900 Pro is an updated version of the g900. It has larger camera sensors, voice controls, and WiFi to download videos to your phone with the Wolfbox app.

The front image on the Pro has a noticeable improvement over the original version. It’s almost GoPro like. The rear camera also is improved. Watch the video towards the end it shows the difference between the two models when it come to image quality. All of the videos posted were also in low lighting in the late evening.

I do like the added feature's of the Pro version especially the voice control. I use my rear camera on the front of my Bronco to act as a front facing camera to help spot me over obstacles. Now when the screen is in sleep mode or screen saver mode I can just say “turn on rear camera” and it will turn on without me needed to take my hands off the steering wheel, It works great. This model also has WiFi built in which honestly I haven’t used much yet because I haven’t had this mirror long enough but it does seem to work well.

The install is very easy, make sure you get the hardwire kit I’ll include a pic below on how I wired it. I also highly recommend the oem mirror mount. It make is look so clean and you can fold down both of your sun visors without hitting the mirror. The rear camera wire that comes with the kit will work for a hardtop bronco because you will probably be mounting the camera inside the bronco. Where a soft top bronco like mine I had to get the extended wire that’s a little bit longer so I could mount the camera on my spare tire. The whole install is very easy I will show some pics how I have mine done.

Overall I think the Pro model is definitely worth the upgrade especially if you want to have nice footage to use on social media like instagram. It has better image quality and way more options.

I’ve never done a review video before so this isn’t perfect by far but it’s a honest review.

The pro is on top, it has a much larger heat sink.

Thanks for the review. Any chance you could take a pic of the image at night?

Yes, I will get you one this evening.

Thanks! I have one coming, so I will be able to compare as well, but from the video the G900 seems to be a little crisper image. I know it's hard to see subtle differences from video, so I will assume that the Pro is better. My main reason for getting the Pro is for the voice commands and Wifi capability. Also, I have the OEM mount with my G900 and I can't use the visors - maybe I don't have the mirror angled correctly - I'll play around with that. I barely find the visors of any use anyway, so haven't really tried... Again, this is a great review - thanks!

Thank you! Been considering the 900 and decided to wait until reviews on the pro came in. When you say it’s just like a standard rear view when it’s off is that for real? Only ask bc I think I’d use it off most of the time and having trouble getting my head around it working well.

Yes. I don’t use it at night because it’s distracting to me. I use it like a regular mirror. I haven’t had an issue yet where I couldn’t see out of it when it was turned off at night or during the day. During the day I always leave it in screen saver mode. I know everyone will have different preferences this is just how I like to use it.

When I first installed it the visor did still barely hit but you can adjust it so it doesn’t. It clears on both sides after adjusting. Your probably use to it now anyways like I am. I never had a problem before when it touched like some others do.

My honest opinion on the image quality is. The front camera is much better. It’s sharper more dynamic range , color profile is accurate it’s just all around better. The rear camera is just slightly more sharp it has a slightly better overall image and it’s a little bit better in low lightning.

I didn’t realize this before, but this GPS stamp is kinda cool this could come in very handy. Say you found a cool campsite or you want to mark an obstacle, trail head or a scenic area on your map you could always go back and mark it down later or share it to a buddy. Just watch your footage and get the GPS location right off recording. I just check those coordinates I highlighted and they are spot on.

Mucho better! Thx

Hey @Frankie945 , do you ever get screen flicker when the cab is hot from sitting in the sun? My G900 flickers until the cab cools off...not a big deal, but something I have noticed on hot days.

I’ve never noticed that but I walk to work everyday I don’t drive. I can say Im in the wolfbox fb group and I’ve never heard anyone complain about that happening. My g900 has been problem free for me.

Reaction to heat while sitting in the sun is a major thing ..... sometimes the camera screen just goes black on me with the G900 ..... I sent one unit back and got a replacement, but its only slightly better.

Edit: Also, I live in Phx, where we had 100 days of over 100 degrees this year.
