GPS: VDO Dayton uses rear view mirror as display

The VDO Dayton MS5700 is the first GPS that comes with a rear view mirrror. It uses this as for displaying... Very nice device.

It boasts a 4" screen at the left hand side that directs you to your destination without allowing your eyes to be taken off the road. You can't fit the MS5700 into any existing rear view mirrors as it works only with the MM2100 mirror that comes with special embedded electronics that are connected to the navigation system's computer. Maps are displayed in a 4:3 ratio and it comes with an integrated speaker as well as an infrared eye that can be controlled via a remote control. Information containing all of Europe's roads is stored on a 8.5GB DVD. Read on after the jump for a list of exhaustive features.
