Rear View Mirrors (Yes, I know this is a bit bizarre)

Rear View Mirrors (Yes, I know this is a bit bizarre)

Rear View Mirrors (Yes, I know this is a bit bizarre)

(OP)
Hello all
I'm a vehicle engineer at a small company designing and building a lightweight vehicle, and in the interests of aerodynamics, we're interested in using rear view cameras instead of external mirrors.  Unrelated to this, we are also in the market for a tow vehicle, and I was looking at the Ford F-350 pickup trucks, and I happened to notice that on a truck with a rear view camera, the screen was actually "embedded" in the center rear view mirror.  So, in the interests of space/cool factor for our prototype, we're interested in potentially using our center mirror as the display for our rear view cameras.  The problem is, I cant find the manufacturer, nor do I know how to get in contact with any of the Ford engineers.  So, does anyone have any contacts/ideas?

Let me know

RE: Rear View Mirrors (Yes, I know this is a bit bizarre)

There are lots of Taiwan and Chinese manufacturers of these.  Last time I was at SEMA a lot of people were selling these.
