Mazda’s clever digital mirror
MAZDA is expanding its range of genuine accessories with a new digital rearview mirror.
Available to order now on the range-topping Mazda CX-90 (pictured right), the new digital mirror will also be available on the new CX-70 when it arrives in Australia later this year.
A Mazda Australia spokeswoman said the mirror, working in harmony with the rear parking camera, offered a crystal-clear HD resolution that was bright, fluid and rich in detail, giving the driver a wider field of vision than the standard mirror and therefore further mitigating the risk of potential blind spots.
“An unencumbered view of the rear of the vehicle is provided at all times, which is particularly useful if the vehicle is fully loaded, such as with camping equipment, sporting items – or if all of the vehicle’s seats are fully occupied – ensuring added convenience and additional safety,” she said.
“The sleek frameless design of the standard mirror is retained, while the camera itself is neatly and seamlessly mounted at the top of the rear windscreen, well out of the way of the driver’s natural line of sight.
“Integrated buttons on the right-hand side can lighten or darken the brightness of the screen, while a row of buttons on the left add Homelink garage door compatibility. A central switch also easily allows the mirror to revert back to standard glass if preferred.”
In line with all Mazda genuine accessories, the digital rearview mirror comes with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty when fitted as part of a new vehicle order.
Alternatively, the item can be fitted retrospectively by any Mazda dealer to existing CX-90 models.
The recommended fitting price (RFP) for the mirror – part number KMV6V7210 – is $2568. Customers can place orders now in dealerships nationwide.
