Interesting product, but I just don't see how the inconvenience of opening up your phone, the concerns about using the ODB port, and the price point are going to make this a starter. You can get an easy to install backup camera + screen for half that, and no fumbling with a phone needed. If you already have a screen in your stereo, you can get a camera for less than $100.
We designed our own magnetic phone mount, which comes with the product. Once you start mounting your phone in your car (especially with our mount, which is amazing), you won't want a separate screen for your camera. :)
The advantages of mounting your smartphone, with the cutting edge hardware and active software ecosystem that come along with it, are truly huge. When I rent a car now I am incredibly frustrated without the mount. Luckily ours has a magnetic pluggable backend, so I can pull it off my adhesive mount and attach the vent clip for use in other cars.
