I absolutely love modifications that are aftermarket but look like they came stock. Man thats so slick.

The vendor for that mod posted here a few years ago. They started installing those in high-end cars like MB's and Porsches. I think the price at the time was around $1K.



There is a very similar mod how-to that someone posted here about the same time where they pulled a non-electrochromatic mirror apart and installed the guts of the remote V1 display in the same position to simulate the Euro version posted above.

Here you go. I just found this in the Audio section:

http://www.carinstallations.com/SatelliteRadio.html

It looks like it's a custom job. Too bad V1 doesn't just sell this as an option.

Personaly it woud look a little bit better if it blended in with the glass better. Like when there wasn't a display it just looked like a regular old mirror. Kind of like the side mirror turn signals.
