Anyone mod the rear view mirror to switch to camera?

[SleepyJeep]

Has anyone upgraded their rear view mirror on the Jeep to switch to a camera view like the new Defender? Or any ideas or thoughts around it for DIY?

I ordered my JT with aux switches. I've thought about using one for a 360 camera. But I wonder how I can get the InfoTainment to display a video feed with the press of an Aux Switch.

I've driven a few electric cars and vans that had this feature... your rear view mirror could give you a really wide panoramic rear view while in any gear, not just reverse. Witch is helpful 100% of the time in a van, or when your electric hatch back is stuffed full.

..... I don't understand why Jeep doesn't have these gimics in their portfolio, it would cost Jeep ~1hr of computer programming to give you a menu option to see your reverse camera whenever you wanted, in any gear. Would be helpful with a loaded up bed.

I'd like to see the new chevy invisible trailer option. Saw it for the first time on a commercial. Not sure what technology it is, truck and trailer combined or pure truck, but you could see behind you like the trailer wasn't there, just a thin outline of the trailer.

I'm pretty sure they come with wireless cameras that you mount on the rear of the trailer

Can't right now but I will be trying. The cameras use a proprietary signal on the can-bus systems. As soon as mine gets here I will start haging the can-bus to see what the other options are. Primarily I want turn signal camera for when the doors are off. I have a few ideas.
