I'd LOVE to have something like this in my car.

that's sweet

Not my kind of thing. I hate huge mirrors to begin with as they block a lot of windshield real estate in smaller cars (I'm tall), but the biggest issue would be with the overall UI concept. Who wants to be prodding at their mirror with a stylus? Nav interaction should always happen in an area where your hand naturally falls from the wheel.

Yay for more road accidents :resent:

Didn't one of the board sponsors post this recently as a nav upgrade for the 2010 Camaro?

+1!

i dont see why. personally, when im following my gps i dont stare at it and drive that way, i glance at it every now and then, same as with my sideviews and my rear view mirror. this would just save me looking at two spots and id just glance up at my mirror. plus there's voice nav as well, so u dont have to keep looking at the screen and it keeps less clutter on ur windshield.

I have seen and used one of these. I delivered the car to the customer's house so I was able to use it on the road to get the their house. The mirror is a decent size, but it must be in order to make the nav screen of usable size. The product is not meant to be used while driving as it is very dangerous because you are essentially looking at your headliner. I would not recommend doing that at all. But if you set your destination before you leave, or just simply pull over the product is a pretty neat concept and the navigation does actually work. We did not install all of the other add-ons so I cannot comment on those. I hope this gives you a little better idea of the product.
