Furion S Camera

Those that have the Furion S camera, would you recommend the 5” or 7” monitor?

I bought the 7” Furrion S camera two years ago and like it. I would not go smaller.

7 inch, without a doubt.

I got the 5" monitor since I am already taking up real estate in the truck with a Garmin RV GPS which is 7". I kind of wish had gone bigger but what is done is done.

We got the 7” and I have a piece of plexiglass that sits over the open area of my console. I bent it on both sides so it is snug on the console. My Garmin GPS and Furion Monitor attach there with suction cups. My iPhone lays in between so I can use CarPlay. I have my TPMS in the little notch on top of the dash. That leaves me with only one item above dash level - my Garmin dash cam.

This sound intriguing. Could you perhaps post a picture of the setup? I know we have different trucks but it might help me visualize something similar for mine. Thanks!

Gary, here is a photo. Sorry, it would have been nicer with the display on, but I didn’t have the keys with me.

I wanted the 7", but my rig came with the 5" display from the factory and I couldn't get the dealer to swap it out w/cash. The 5" fits perfectly mounted next to the rear view mirror and it's in a natural spot i look before switching lanes anyways. Happy with it now.
