• DS-400GB Integrates GPS, Bluetooth, Kitchen Sink Into Rear-view Mirror [Gadgets]

  The DS-400GB is a new solution to the problem of dash clutter--you know--when you have Bluetooth modules, navigation units, backup camera displays and more all over the dash. This device takes all of those goods and integrates it into the rear-view mirror. The right side of the rear-view mirror is sectioned off as the GPS navigation unit and display for a back-up camera. The DS-400GB also includes a Bluetooth module for makings and receiving calls, hands-free. The right sided display is a touchscreen and the entire unit includes SD card expandability as well as a USB port. Oh, it has a mirror, as well. For the minimalist that has to have everything, this is the bee's knees.

• Eclipse Dockable TomTom Head Unit Now Available [Accessories]

  I know, I know, you were jealous of Europe and especially its Toyota Yaris with dockable TomTom GPS navigation head unit. You can breath a sigh of relief because Eclipse has taken that idea and made it available for anybody! Hooray! The Eclipse AVN2210p MK II allows for a TomTom GPS navigation unit to dock in and out of the head unit. This is extra-convenient for regular swapping of cars and for those that like to do a little walking with a GPS unit. The unit also includes a CD player with MP3 support, Bluetooth and more. It's available from Crutchfield for $600.

• Rear-View Mirror GPS Eliminates Gadget Clutter [Gadgets]

  Integrating a GPS navigation system in the rear-view mirror is an idea that will make any neat-freak happy. The MirrorPilot is the device that will eliminate unnecessary devices sitting on the dashboard or suctioned to the windshield. As a GPS receiver, it's pretty mediocre: limited traffic control, 2D and 3D maps, and audible instructions. A big downside has to be the size. By displaying the navigation information on a 2.2-inch screen, you need to squint if you want to reach your destination without getting lost or having an accident. At $1,025, even the most anal of clutterhounds may decide to opt for a much cheaper, if a bit messier, standalone GPS navigation unit.
