About the Rydeen MN312R

Alexander H.

Much more than a mirror

Rydeen's MN312R rear-view mirror is as much a mirror as a smartphone is a phone. But okay, let's start with the basics. This 10-7/8" mirror replaces your factory mirror, but its subtle design lets it blend in with almost any vehicle's interior. You'll find a 3-1/2" touchscreen display built into the mirror that serves as a monitor to any rear-view camera with a composite video output. It's auto-triggered as soon as you put your vehicle into reverse, giving you a crisp, wide-angle rear view.

Leading the way

When you're not backing up, there's plenty to fill that 3-1/2" screen. Thanks to a built-in GPS antenna, the Rydeen MN312R is equipped with turn-by-turn, voice-assisted navigation. Type in your destination on the screen or input one of the millions of points of interest in the U.S. and Canada, and the MN312R will voice directions through its built-in speaker or through your car speakers, depending on how you wire it.

Replacement Rearview Mirror

Rearview Mirror GPS Navigation System: The Rydeen MN312R is a replacement rearview mirror that includes a state-of-the-art, full-featured touchscreen navigation system, Bluetooth-enabled hands-free connectivity, and one-button access to vehicle location and driver safety services by Guidepoint Systems (optional). The MN312R provides an easy-to-use touchscreen user interface, clear, easy-to understand spoken instructions, and innovative functionality in a stylish housing that replaces the factory mirror. The MN312R features a robust processor to ensure fast, reliable operation.

Rearview Mirror: The rearview mirror portion of the MN312R measure 7.375" diagonally.

LCD Touchscreen: To the right of the rearview mirror is an integrated 3.5" (diagonally) LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 320 x 240. The LCD features touchscreen controls for simple, intuitive operation. Use the LCD touchscreen to view the navigation map, view your phone's contact list, and for playback control of music from Bluetooth or microSD. You can adjust the brightness of the LCD screen.

Backup Camera Input: The MN312R features a composite video rear-view camera input for adding a backup camera (sold separately). By connecting a back-up camera, you'll automatically see the view behind your vehicle when its placed in reverse. It takes 2 seconds for the backup camera image to automatically appear when your vehicle is placed in reverse gear.

Temperature Sensor: Temperature is also displayed on screen when the included temperature sensor is installed. The provided temperature sensor enables the MN312R to display temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. You can mount the temperature sensor outside or inside the vehicle for an outside or interior temperature reading.

Built-in Speakers & Audio Output: The Rydeen MN312R replacement rearview mirror contains built-in speakers for navigation voice prompts, music playback, and phone calls. The speakers are powered by a 2W built-in amplifier. It also features a stereo RCA output to connect the unit to the existing audio system in your vehicle.

Mounting Options: It comes with a universal mounting bracket. In addition to this universal bracket, you'll also need a windshield mount repair kit which can be purchased at most auto parts store (sold separately). A variety of vehicle specific mounting brackets, which can be purchased separately, are also available.

Wiring:  In addition to mounting the replacement rear-view mirror, you'll need to hardwire +12V constant power, +12V accessory power, +12V backup lamp, and ground connections. A composite video cable provides connection between the rear-view mirror and the included rear-view camera.

Onboard Navigation

TomTom Map Database: The Rydeen MN312R's map database (by TomTom) contains map coverage of the United States (all 50 states) and Canada. In the future, the unit's map database may be updated at www.naviextras.com by simply downloading the available map updates on to a microSD card and loading the memory card into the MN312R's microSD card slot (not DVR card slot).

Note: Car navigation maps are frequently updated. While this database was judged to be as accurate as possible at the time of its release, a map database can never be 100% accurate. Road information that is maintained in the map databases, such as turn restrictions or road names may change over time.

iGO Primo Navigation Software: The built-in iGO Primo navigation software has been specifically developed for the Rydeen MN312R and provides turn-by-turn audible directions and an on-screen map. The built-in software quickly calculates step-by-step directions to any destination available on the included navigation map.

GPS Receiver & Antenna: The MN312R has a built-in GPS receiver and antenna to calculate your location. Having both constant and accessory power supplied to the MN312R ensures correct positioning of your last location.

Note: The MN312R takes approximately 8 seconds to turn on; it defaults to the main menu screen. It takes another 13 seconds to activate on-screen navigation. 

On-Screen Map: The unit's on-screen map shows your vehicle's current position (a yellow arrow by default), the recommended route (an yellow line), the surrounding map area, and your destination as a checkered flag. The on-screen map shows streets, roads, and highways in a way that is similar to how a paper road map show them. A road's width and colors corresponds to their importance, so you can easily tell a freeway from a small street. When navigating a route, the top section of the map screen shows information about your next route maneuver and the next street or the next city/town. When approaching a turn, the map screen will zoom in and raise the view angle to let you easily recognize your maneuver at the next junction. If the next turn is at a distance, it will zoom out and lower the view angle to be flat so you can see the road in front of you. The map also displays data; such as the posted speed limit, your current speed, current time, distance to your destination, time left before you reach your destination, and your arrival time. 

  • 2D/3D Map Mode: The MN312R allows you to view its on-screen map in a 2D (two-dimensional) or 3D (three-dimensional) view. Similar to paper road maps, the 2D mode, shows you streets, roads, and elevation by color. In 3D mode, you can see the altitude and elevations differences. You can distinguish between valleys, mountains, and elevated roads.
  • Color Mode: The navigation map screen uses different color themes (Day/Night) during the day and during the night for both the map and the menu screen. Daytime colors are similar to paper road maps, and the menus are bright. The nigh color themes use dark colors for large objects to keep the average brightness of the screen low. You can also set the navigation unit to switch between daytime and night color modes automatically based on the current time and GPS position.

Lane Information & Signposts: The Rydeen MN312R's navigation map offers helpful lane information and signpost guidance.

  • Lane Information: When navigation on multilane roads, it is important to take the appropriate lane in order to follow the recommended route. If lane information is available in the map data, the map screen will display the lanes and their directions using small arrows at the bottom of the map. High lighted arrows represent the lanes you need to take.
  • Signposts: Where additional information is available, signposts substitute arrows. Signposts are displayed at the top of the map. The color and style of the signposts are similar to the real ones you can see above the road or by the roadside, They show the available destinations and the number of the road the lane leads to.

Audible Alerts: The MN312R offers various audible alerts and functions to help you get to your destination safely.

  • Voice Guidance w/ Text-To-Speech: In addition to graphic directions, the MN312R provides voice guidance with turn-by-turn instructions and street name announcement. You can select from a variety of audible languages including English, Spanish, and French. The volume of the voice prompts can be manually increased with increases in speed to overcome road noise. Voice guidance can be turned off if you prefer.
  • Speed Limit Warning: Some maps may contain information about the speed limits of certain road segments. The MN312R provides an audible warning if you exceed the recommended speed limit.

Find Menu: iGO Primo navigation allows you to select your destination by Address, POIs, Point on a Map, Favorites, History, or Coordinates.

  • Address: Select your destination by entering a full or partial address, a city, or two intersection roads.
  • POIs: Search for millions of points-of-interest (POIs) by name or category near your current location, in a specific city, along your current route, or near your destination.
  • Map: Choose a destination by scrolling the map and tapping a specific point on the map.
  • Favorites: Store your favorite destinations (like home, work, etc.) for easy recall.
  • History: Select from previously set destinations.
  • Coordinates: Enter your destination via geographic coordinates (latitude & longitude).

Route Calculation: The Rydeen MN312R calculates your route based on your Vehicle Type, Route Method, and Avoidances.

  • Vehicle Type: You select what type of vehicle you are driving, so the navigation unit can determine the best route based on your vehicle type (Car, Truck, Emergency, Bus, or Taxi).
  • Route Method: You can choose which route method (Fastest, Shortest, Green, Economical, or Easy) the navigation unit should use when calculating your route.
  • Avoidances: You can tell the navigation unit to avoid certain types of roads along your calculated route, such as - Highways, Tolls, Carpool/HOV, Unpaved Roads, and/or Ferries.

Itinerary Page w/ Route Simulation:  The Itinerary page displays turn-by-turn instructions for your entire route and the distance between turns. You can preview all the route information and simulate travel along a projected route.

Detour & Auto Reroute: You can choose to Detour around the road ahead, avoid a specific road, or around a section of the route. If you depart from the original route, the navigation system recalculates the route and provides new directions.

Trip Computer: The Trip Computer contains useful information about your trip. This information can be saved manually when you reach your destination or automatically along your route. Trip log data includes; Start/End Time, Avg./Max. Speed, Total/Driving/Stopped Time, Total Distance, and Min./Max. Altitude.

Guidepoint Systems (Optional): Guidepoint is the premier aftermarket provider of GPS-enabled, location-based services to the vehicle, including vehicle location, emergency dispatch, roadside assistance, driving directions and concierge.

Bluetooth & microSD

Built-in Bluetooth: The Rydeen MN312R offers built-in Bluetooth 2.1 for wireless hands-free communication (HFP/PBAB) and wireless audio streaming (A2DP/AVRCP). The MN312R's built-in Bluetooth feature supports wireless connection from most Bluetooth-enable devices like Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Windows Phone, Blackberry, Nokia smartphone, and more.

  • Hands-Free Communication (HFP/PBAB): You are able to make and receive phone calls from your compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone through the MN312R. The unit's integrated microphone carries on your side of the conversation, while the other party is heard through the unit's built-in speakers or your vehicle's audio system. You are able to answer, end, and dial out using the MN312R. You can dial out from the touchscreen keypad or your transferred contact's list.
  • Wireless Audio Streaming (A2DP/AVRCP):  You'll be able to stream stored music and music apps from your compatible Bluetooth-enabled mobile device to the MN312R. Basic playback functions like Play/Pause and Previous/Next Track can be controlled from the MN312R. Song/artist information will still be done through your Bluetooth-enabled device. When an incoming call or outgoing call is in progress from your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, audio streaming will be paused so you can take your call from your phone. Once the call is finished, your streaming music will resume.
Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the MN312R.

microSD Card Slot: The MN312R has an accessible microSD card slot that can be used for music playback, photos and future software updates.

I have the Rydeen mirror for my 2013 Lexus that had no navigation. I bought it and had my local onstar installer put it in for $100. Nothing else was needed besides the mirror. It works great and no problems at all.
