While looking for something slightly different stumbled upon this: AV 7 inch TFT Best LCD Color Screen MP5 Bluetooth SD USB Car Rear View Mirror | eBay

It is a MP5 ¹ multimedia rearview mirror 

Part of the blurb: can play the video or audio files, enjoy HD music or movies.

Another: Scenes will be cut to rearview camera automatically while you're backing the car and change back to the original scene after that

I am not sure by 'scenes' they mean the normal purpose of a rearview mirror.


¹ Read someone added 1 to MP4 to show it could play more file formats then older MP4 players

Nice! Sounds a bit dangerous and distracting though!

I wouldn't be putting any faith in the quality with that unusually low price

[ibrokeit]

Yup - I wouldn't seriously suggest anyone get one.

Just found it 'interesting'.

One of my friends who tows a large caravan has a similar video mirror.

But for a good reason

He has a HD video camera mounted in the rear of the caravan and can see the view behind the caravan in the "mirror".  He has a choice between flipping the picture horizontally to represent a true mirror image or showing it as-is.

He also has the usual extended outrigger door mirrors to complement his set-up which he is happy with.

Nice!   That is a good purpose to use such.

Just don't think that is the intentions of this vendor for some odd reason

I would guarantee that it's not a HD screen haha

I have one of these in my car (not for watching movies of course). It's much nicer, not as big and not one of those "clip on" ones.

I wired up a switch so I can turn my reversing camera on even when I'm not in reverse. I've used it a couple times when I've had the back filled up with stuff and I can't see out the back window. Could also use it to see the number plate of any tailgaters lol.
