Poor man's blind spot monitoring and homelink
I have my side mirrors adjusted correctly (away from car), but decided to install blind spot mirrors to better gauge the wheel to curb distance when parallel parking and also for a wider view in the rearward blind spot areas. I really like them - these work really well. This is the one I got and pic below shows where I mounted it. An integrated version should come from the factory. The cell phone picture didn't focus well on the mirror, but the 2" mirrors are very clear in real life.
Here's a link to the ones I bought (pack of 4). I did not use the swivel mechanism: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also noticed that there's a small shelf under the steering wheel. I have used Velcro to attach my garage door opener. It's completely out of sight and very convenient. I originally planned to buy the 2SS Homelink setup & harness, but decided to try this first.

Nice. I thought about the blind spot mirror, I used them before when I had a 370z. (Camaro visibility is great compared to that LOL)
I guess if your only driver but if you adjust steering wheel back down does it interfere with where you put remote?

You have to dig through the settings on the infotainment system. Don't remember exactly where off hand.

Those are the cheapest and most useful mod you can do to any vehicle. Been using them on vehicles for many many years. Love that our van and truck mirrors come with them these days.
