Advanced review mirror?

Well, I needed something. Ticks all the boxes BUT comes with a more modern windshield style mount. I ordered this one:

Not sure if I want to remove the factory mount leaving just the hard rubber mount for the sun visors then glue a piece of metal to my windshield for it to mount to.

The alternative would be to get creative and come up with an adapter to use an old-style 1969 mount to attach a more modern mirror. It seems to have a fairly standard square 4 screw mount in the center that I may be able to adapt somehow to the stock mounting arm. I'll just have to see. Maybe in a couple of years, these will mature into some more premium offerings for the automotive aftermarket like restomods and will come with a variety of mounts. Something with a more modern version of Android, etc. would be a huge plus too along with more RAM and ROM so it's snappier.

Sure would be great if I could find a shop to 3D scan it and CNC me a 2-piece billet surround (windowed in the back for camera and cooling) for it that will attach directly to the factory style mount. Anodize that black and I'd be really happy. Sadly no places in my city that do that, would have to deal with someone in LA.



Another consideration is that I have a 3D printed overhead console for an 8 button pad that's on a 45-degree angle so I need to make sure this mirror is clear of that and not being blocked, but I'm sure it will be.

That actually looks pretty nice! Wonder if they make one for the iPhone?
