    Thanks Glos Guy and MF. I’ve driven both the Ioniq 5 and 6 with digital camera mirrors. They give a very clear high resolution image, but will take a lot of getting used to because of the relocated viewing position. I didn’t intend to order them but the colour I wanted is an unusual ‘minority choice’ and I was offered a car that was supposedly being built that week in that colour, with the camera mirrors. The alternative was a factory build for delivery approximately late May. Another reason for the camera choice on the Ioniq 6 is the fact that the twin screens placement is already built in to each end of the dash, and with standard mirrors you are left with two blanked spaces. The aircraft styled dash with its swept up ends look as though it needs the two lit up screens to complete it aesthetically. That’s just my opinion, having spent a fair bit of time sat in three different ‘6’s lol.

    Yeah, that makes sense. I can’t see why they would be deemed a bad idea, unless the cameras gunk up in poor weather and cause visibility issues like my reversing camera lens (albeit that’s at the back of the car, which attracts muck whilst driving). Maybe part of the reason they say to avoid them is the cost?
