I know most of you have seen the monitor in the rear view mirror. i was wondering if anyone has put them in the side view mirrors?? if so how much would this cost??

 

I don't think that would be a good idea for a street car because i doubt it would hold up to the elements, but for a show car, it would be pretty cool

 

Yeah, and that is just asking for problems from cops. But if you used it to decrease ur blind spot, ids say its a good idea, to watch a DVD while switching lanes. id say no

 

That would get jacked quick.

 

From Streetz its about $600-$700. I know another shop that charges $1200 for the same thing. Its a 2.5" monitor in the rear view mirror. I think ArN 2000 TL thinks you mean the side mirrors.

 

he does mean sides.

 

i do mean sides. yeah,i don't think it would hold up to the elements either. it would be original though.

 

Oh wow, I didnt even notice that. I wouldnt think of putting them there. lol. Not a good idea for daily drivers, but like you guys said, for a show car, why not.

 

Mirrors get stolen all the time from customers at my dealership and there worth 250-300 range I could only imagne how many hours those would last on your car around here

 

We're working on some side mirrors in a couple weeks with monitors in them, so we can definitely do them though.

 

If anyone could do it i know you could Street.

 

Make sure u get us some pics of them. Street, what are they going to be used for? TV's or have an actual productive use.

 

Don't do it man. When I go to work there is this white accord and it has 4 screens inside and 1 on each mirror. talk about dumbass. I have seen him being pulled over and getting a ticket. So far he has probably gotten about 15 tickets just in front of my club parket. All the girls that come to our club laugh and talk a lot of **** about his ride. Even the other bouncher laugh right in his face. DONT DO IT

 

Productive use would be if the car was driven. Everyone always seems to forget that the BMW is strictly a business/demo/show car, it doesn't get driven everyday. A lot of the stuff is not at all practical, it's for show use only.

The monitors, however, will be wired to left and right cameras which have a MUCH WIDER viewing angle than just the side mirrors themselves, so you will be able to see even more of what's around you.

 

in that case, it isnt a bad idea. But for any other use id say its very dumb

 

what you do os get them installed and fold them in when you park. Just dont roll around your neighbborhood with them on and make sure that if you go to a bad neighborhood to park, that they are turned off.

 

pretty smart idea.

 

Actually, the ones I will be doing will look like a full mirror when they are off, you won't even know they are there, and the mirrors will be motorized to open and close.

 

Thats goning to be awesome, make sure u post pics.

 

Definately post pics...

 

how much???
