When I saw the first digital rear view mirror in the newer trucks, I wanted that option for my 2019 tradesman.
from what I could find, the OEM 2022 mirror is ~$650 and the camera is ~$600, I could not find the actual parts for the trailer integration.
After searching for a while I found this mirror from master tailgaters. IT uses a 1080p front sensor and a AHD 1080p rear camera. doing a bit of testing I have also concluded that this should be capable of doing a trailer camera option as well for a "see thru" trailer that I will cover later. This option which has a dash cam built in ranges from $195-$220 depending on sales and shipping.
This mirror is designed as a replacement for your standard mirror or auto tinting mirror.
Included in the packaging is the mirror monitor, cables, spare window mount, zip ties, cable cover, and the rear view camera. The mirror is almost exactly the same size as an auto dimming mirror, slightly larger than a manual dimming mirror. The mount adjustments are same as OEM and very sturdy.
This was very easy to install with the tool included to release the set screw on the original mirror and slide it upwards off the mount. then adjust the LCD mirror to about match the factory position and slide it onto the mount. then route the cable up into the headliner. A more in-depth installation and operation will be posted soon. The camera has two mounting options with various angles of mounting available with each option.
The mirror is controlled through a touch frame design, so you do not have to get fingerprints on the mirror. The angle of the camera view can be adjusted for the front and rear camera, brightness, and recording modes. The camera does really well in daylight and is enough to see well at night.
currently I have their included camera on the third brake light: (this will change when my flush mount AHD camera comes in)

I am working on an auto switching trailer connection and have a better AHD camera for the tail light on order. Ill update with that install when it comes in. It will be much closer to the example below, but the one below is not compatible since it is not AHD. This is the brand motion standard definition camera from crutchfield. I will be installing mine into the factory light.
