Hermes MVR: 4+1 channel digital video recorder embodied in a modular rearview mirror
Why you need it.
Remember when a rearview mirror was used just to look behind you? Those days are gone thanks to this digital video recorder that's actually incorporated into your rearview mirror, with one LCD screen and up to four split-video inputs embedded in the mirror itself. Its possibilities are endless. Angle it toward the instrumentation, gearshift, and pedals to create your own race videos; angle it toward your car's blind spot for added security; record and view the back of the car when backing up; angle three cameras at the sides and back for a 360-degree view at all times; or even keep an eye on the baby while driving without having to turn your head around.

MUTH signal mirror on demand: Retrofit directional-turn-signal-equipped outside rearview mirrors
Why you need it.
Have you seen that some new cars on the road have directional turn signals built into their outside rearview mirrors? They're designed for safety; it's another way for the driver behind you to be alerted to your intentions. Now you can install LED-based directional turn signals into your late-model or classic Pontiac's outside rearview mirrors, even on Second-Gen and up Firebirds. According to MITO, "As long as replacement glass is currently available for your outside rearview mirrors, we can supply them with directional turn signals."

Megatester: Flashlight with a built-in multi-use circuit tester
Why you need it.
Tracing electrical problems in your car can be an arduous task, but this new invention makes it a whole lot easier, even for novices. It can test and troubleshoot unenergized circuits, wires, bulbs, switches, relays, fuses, grounds, and more, regardless of their voltage. Here's how it works: Turn on the Megatester flashlight and remove the attached clip; its light will go off. Simply unwind the wire, place the clip on one end of the circuit you are testing and the Megatester end cap on the other end. If the bulb lights up, the circuit is good; if not, you should replace the part being tested. This product won an International Award for Most Innovative New Product at the 2009 SEMA show.
