call TG online! they have a rearview mirror with build in screen so you would have both! i was considering one but realised that would be silly as i already have a screen in the front!

i need a bigger screen with touch control for the pc. but thanks anyway.

im just looking for ways or places to put it. need to be reachable from drivers seat and i dont want to cut my dash up. also need to remove my roof lining to find why i got mold. so thought ill do it all at once.

any 1 else got ideas for a screen? thought about up there, behind gear stick (but in fifth the stick would be in the way), ive got the passenger airbag so it cant go there and it to far to reach when driving.

You don't need a rear view mirror as long as you have the two wing mirrors. I've been driving round for 12 months without mine and it passed its MOT two months ago without question

u star mike thats the answer im lookin for. i can get a cheap 8" touch screen instead of forking out 1500 for a motorised screen with touch.

Don't you only need the passengers mirror?

I don't think you need an interior mirror as vans don't.

the law is this. you MUST have two mirrors. It doesn't matter which two. I really use my rearview more than i should. when i bought my new bravo a few weeks ago, iwas halfway home before i noticed i couldn't see anything in the passenger wing mirror. As some of you know home for me that day was over 500 miles!

Good luck Smee...

Correct, 2 working rear view mirrors.

The only danger is an 8" screen in the middle of the windscreen may be classed as an obstruction

 

[Pete]

You can't have interior and left, only interior and right or two outside, left and right.
BTW, the Canadian regs are the same, only easier to understand!
