Digital Rear-View Mirror
A digital rear-view mirror shows a live image from a rear camera on a screen in the mirror housing, giving a clear view even with a full load.
What is Digital Rear-View Mirror?
Most can be switched back to a normal mirror. The camera view is not blocked by passengers, headrests or luggage. Some cars also replace door mirrors with cameras. Digital mirrors are especially useful in vans and SUVs with small rear windows.
How it works
A rear-mounted camera feeds an image processor, which displays the view on an LCD panel in the mirror.
Why it matters for your car
Focusing on a screen at close range takes some getting used to. Keep the rear camera lens clean, especially in winter.
