Reversing made Easy with a VideoMirror
by Al
When it comes to parking the car I’m certainly not top of the tree ability wise, which is one of the reasons I was pleasantly impressed when I saw the VideoMirror.
The VideoMirror is basically a LCD screen that is hidden inside a conventional (but slightly thicker) rear view mirror. The magic happens when you put the car into reverse and the LCD displays slides out showing you (via a camera at the back) exactly what is happening behind you. This little device could certainly help avoid a few scrapes and scratches to your motor.

Good idea, once it gets into after-market so I can put it on my car (assuming it is affordable). And has a hood or something, like those on [older] traffic lights, to keep snowwat a minimum.
