c-lo Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 has anyone used a rear view mirror nav system before?

mmanus88 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 i'd still prefer flipout/dbl din, just seems too impractical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckzul Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hmmm....seems too much out of your line of sight. This looks garaunteed to take too much attention off the road for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 That looks really sweet! Even has rear view camera and monioring camera inputs. It looks like you can switch between the mirror and the camera or nav by the touch of a button. Pretty slick unit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hmmm....seems too much out of your line of sight. This looks garaunteed to take too much attention off the road for too long. ??? It's on the rear view mirror! I've never used nav before, but I think if you have to look at it for too long then I'd pull over. Don't see the diff between looking up at the rear view mirror or looking to the right at the center console. I'd have to see one first to see if it's ackward. waiting for this local shop to call me back with the price 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmanus88 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 unfortunately when we say "if i had to look at it for a while i'd pull over" that just isn't the truth . navigation systems will distract you (even for a split second) from the road, so if you feel very attracted towards this unit, thats fine, just make sure it doesn't take too much of your attention off the road. also, if its button-operated then that will distract you even further. any navi system i use (i have a avic-n2 in my gt) must be screen-touchable. its just so much easier imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrx2blackGT Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I bet that mirror is HUGE and akward looking, very cool idea though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseycat10 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 wow, the price is right, seems to be going for about $400 around the internet. Hell, I bet replacement rearview mirrors without nav from Subaru would cost about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-lo Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 I bet that mirror is HUGE and akward looking, very cool idea though from what I"ve seen on TV, they look to be about the same size. thing I'm worried about is how much you'd be able to see out of the mirror 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandman Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I have a Garmin 2720 and had a Garmin 2610 previously (same size). We also have a Quest, which is a little smaller. It's mounted on the dash just to the right of the instrument surround. I wouldn't want one smaller. It has touch screen and a remote control. http://www.garmin.com/products/sp2720/graphics/pt-sp2720Page.jpg Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLU24 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 That looks really sweet! Even has rear view camera and monioring camera inputs. It looks like you can switch between the mirror and the camera or nav by the touch of a button. Pretty slick unit! i gotta agree and dont forget im sure this will look oem to potential thieves instead ofg having a 7" display in your dash the only prob is i cant see myself ever owning anything "audiovox".......maybe someone else will come out with the same idea....
