A video mirror system for a vehicle includes an interior rearview mirror
assembly and a video display screen disposed in a mirror housing and
behind a transflective mirror reflector of a transflective reflective
element of the interior rearview mirror assembly. Information displayed
by the video display screen is viewable by a driver of the equipped
vehicle viewing through the transflective mirror reflector when the video
display screen is activated and, when the video display screen is not
activated, the presence of the video display screen behind the
transflective mirror reflector is substantially not discerned by a driver
of the equipped vehicle normally viewing the transflective reflective
element when operating the equipped vehicle. A compass sensor may be
disposed within the mirror housing and behind the transflective
reflective element, and the compass sensor may adjust in tandem with
adjustment of a rearward field of view of the transflective reflective
element.
