The Modoofree Car Kit: Bluetooth handsfree clip-on rearview mirror with Parking Sensors

The Mirror Has Eyes: The Modoofree Car Kit, With Parking Sensors - Jalopnik:

apparently the ModooFree Plus BT with 4 sensors is $249 +$10 shipping at this place. That's not a bad deal considering BMW charges extra $100/sensor to have them painted to match the body color. I like the idea of having bluetooth in the rearview, that's cool.

Drivers of many large, luxury SUVs are already familiar with the beckonings of parking sensors. Get too close to a parked car, and the bastard chatters away like a sparrow caught in a basement meth lab. Now, a new, aftermarket solution offers that kind of backseat driving action on any car. It’s the Modoofree PLUS kit, which includes a Bluetooth-enabled rear-view mirror and a set of parking sensors that can be attached to a car’s bumper. Mobile phone features include a speakerphone with noise and echo-suppression filter, and a display of a caller’s number on the mirror. The display also indicates the car’s distance from obstacles, which may prevent accidents, but won’t prevent the onset of in-car buzzer madness.
