It's a cool use of technology, however I don't know if I want that stuff up near my rear view mirror. The NAV, bluetooth, etc. is stuff most of us have.
I agree about adding the radar detector and home link. That's pretty much all I need from a rear view mirror. I know that the homelink mirrors already exist, so hopefully a similar product with a radar detector built in will be next...

When I saw the pic: "WOW THATS AWESOME!"
When I saw the price: "F$%K THAT!"
It's a really awesome and convenient way to have those things all in one place, and of course in doing that it will demand a high price. But I have a much bigger screen for my GPS for 1/3 the price.

That's gonna be great the first time you get pulled over in VA and the officer has a radar detector detector...
Officer: Alright Speedy Gonzalez, hand over the radar detector?
(This is of course once they integrate it into the rear view mirror, but something tells me that is not going to happen)

I did think about the mirror setup but I don't need to be anymore of a target than I already am.

Too much money for what it has.Already have gps with bluetooth what it should have is homelink and radar/laser detector and auto dimming would be nice.

It says you can put E-books on it. Is that really a selling point? That I can read a book while driving?
On the other hand, with VA traffic jams that might be a good idea......

I've seen them. They're pretty huge. The way that the Corvette Key switchblade thing photographed well, but when you actually see it in person...
It would have to be. The Nav portion says it's a 4" screen and that's only about a third of the mirror.

Jim,
That's Killer
I need one for my Truck (Titan)
How does it hook up? Where does the power supply come from?
Any install instructions?
If an electrically challenged person can hook it up, I'm in
