One thing I've always wondered about the NV display is how does it look when another car passes you in the opposite direction and they've also got NV. Do you get to see their IR beams blinding you via your NV display? Also, do you see the IR beams of things like store entrace IR detectors ?

No. I had a good look at it and nothing was visible even in complete darkness.

Still thinking these cameras don't need to emit any infrared light -- they are purely thermographic, not active like some of the shorter-range applications like night-vision goggles, low light video surveillance cameras, etc.

I very much like your inputs taxikusken 
As the weather has been over here rainy and very dark, I can imagine the night vision would be great to have.
The standard fog lights with the Xenons are a laugh. Sorry to say 'cause I could really use some good ones right now.
