V1 stealth Setup!
That's really functional!
Let me take a guess. Take the mirror (ie. the glass) out of its housing. Install the V1 remote unit in the housing and scrape the coating* off the back of the mirror to correspond with the remote unit's location in the housing. Re-install the mirror (ie. the glass).
* A mirror is essentially glass with a back coating. It is the coating that gives it reflective properties.

I doubt that you would want to "scrape" the glass, some kind of etcher would be wiser, but yeah, it doesn't seem too hard. I saw some one that was selling aftermarket mirrors that were already done, but they were large, ugly, and oblong.

That is a BMW e36 rear view mirror. Some guy was modifying these for the BMW guys. I first saw these in '98 I think. If you go on the BMW forums and do a search, I'm sure you could find some contact info on him.
there's a place that does them.... you send in your mirror and they install it for you..... they charge a couple hundred for the install..... you can find it on ebay.... they have bids for their work

I've seen a few people make their own setups from scratch, but as said before people offer the service.
I run the remote location display from Valentine down by the right of the steering wheel on a little piece of the dash surface. This setup keeps all lights out of view from those behind you if that's what you're interested in.
