Any more info on the installation would be appreciated.

There are pictures of the bracket I fabricated in this thread
http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10453&pid=58759&st=0&#entry58759 which show it from different angles, I only engraved the logos on the first one I made though, I think they're too much and would also be a copyright issue. I designed the bracket and had it fabricated from acrylic.
The remote display is in the mirror, the mutew button is small and mounted in the back of the mirror so I can easily reach it and there is the jack plug to connect it to the main V1. The display is unobtrusive and IMHO in about the perfect spot to view.
Once I decided I wanted it in the mirror I found out the places that used to make them seemed to have stopped and also they were very expensive ($600 - $1200). Instead I decided to try and do it myself which turned in to a bit of an epic trying to figure out the best way to prepare the glass. After several failed attempts I think I have a multi-stpe process that now works well and have made a few mirrors for other people too.
