Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) has come up with a great idea and the company will equip their SUVs with rearview mirror-mounted Back Up Camera with Auto-Dimming Mirror Display. However for now this add on will be only available to CX-9 Models.

When is reverse mode, the LCD pops up within the reflective surface of the mirror and then lets one access a real-time panoramic view of the area at the rear of the vehicle? The 2.4-inch diagonal active-matrix video display is housed in an automatic-dimming rearview mirror, and “transflective” coatings and lighting technology developed by Gentex Corporation have been used!

“Safety is always a top priority for Mazda and we want all CX-9 customers to have the added security of a rearview backup camera, regardless of the trim level or option package they select,” said Jack Stavana, director, Accessory Operations, MNAO. “The Back Up Camera with Auto-Dimming Mirror Display kit is a great alternative for CX-9 buyers whose vehicles are not equipped with the factory navigation system and its integrated backup camera.”
