Gentex says that its latest technologies, including Rear Camera Display (RCD) Mirror, are available on the new luxury utility vehicle.


The RX 350 is available in North America, Europe, Japan, and China. The RX 450h, the hybrid version of the 350, is available in some of these markets.


In addition to a base interior auto-dimming mirror, the new RX offers Gentex driver- and passenger-side exterior auto-dimming mirrors.


The RCD Mirror contains a liquid crystal display (LCD) that works with a video camera mounted at the rear of the vehicle to provide a view directly behind the vehicle while backing up. When the vehicle is shifted into “reverse,” a 2.4-inch LCD display appears automatically through the auto-dimming mirror’s reflective surface.

The display disappears when the vehicle is shifted into any other gear. The capability for the display to appear through the mirror’s surface is made possible by Gentex’s “transflective” coating and lighting techniques, which result in a bright, high-resolution color image. The RCD Mirror option is available on the RX model on a global basis.
