Yea, over a decade ago! And Nissan offered the feature on a relatively moderately priced model, the T32 generation X-Trail/Rogue

Actually nissan and infiniti were the ones that introduced it, followed by Toyota.  Thats why when ford revealed that they were adding it to their commercial cars, it was a big deal since it was still an industry baby, but then reneged on it.  I believe the 2021 gm fs utes or the ct6 were the first gms to use the feature.

 

CT6 was the first GM vehicle to offer it in 2016 then the Escalade, XT5, and CTS got it in 2017

Just got a 22 nav.  I was wrong, the nav does show a rearview camera feed through the screen.  I a tally prefer it over it being in the mirror, but I dont like that theres a "full display not available" in the middle of the screen.

I first saw this in a loaded Santa Fe a few summer ago, I wasn't impressed with it-it seemed to suffer from "input lag" i.e. the images it was displaying where ever so slower then what you would see with a standard rearview mirror.

 

Anyways I noticed a Toyota Corolla Cross in front of me had one-a product that is much lower down on the product lineup...which had me wondering, outside of a being able to display some additional information, often that isn't really necessary, what is the actual point of having these style mirrors? It seems pointless to replace something that costs maybe 10-20 bucks with something that costs 10X as much, especially in lower end product where pricing is a bit more sensitive. 

 

Do any Ford or Lincoln products offer anything like this? I haven't noticed. 

It's just another issue that will force a recall someday.  Get away from technology!
