According to Ford, the unit is compatible with any of its car and commercial vehicle ranges, can be fitted in an hour by a Ford dealer and is mounted without any visible wires or damage to the main instrument panel.
However, the company also warns that the Ford Ranger and Ford Ka 2009 are excluded as there is insufficient gap between the driver and passenger sun visors.
"MirrorNavi" is made by Garmin and Wollnikom and includes a 3.5-inch touchscreen color display, an internal memory and card slot, 2D or 3D map display, destination memory, EcoRoute and maps and voice response for more than 70 countries and languages.
“Insurance companies have confirmed that "MirrorNavi" is defined as a fitted navigation system for their purposes and another advantage is the absence of suction cup marks on the windscreen which might alert thieves,” a company statement reads. “The "MirrorNavi" itself has tinted and dimming mirror glass, battery charging connection and anti-theft security and it is available on all Ford cars and vans.”
In the UK, "MirrorNavi" costs GBP299 plus local dealer fitting charges.
