Abstract
A mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a glass element that is at least partially reflective and a housing that is coupled to the glass element. A mounting member includes an internal portion located within the housing that defines a mounting member connector. The housing includes a housing connector operably coupled to the mounting member connector and configured to articulate the housing relative to the mounting member between different positions. A camera unit is connected to the internal portion of the mounting member such that it remains stationary as the housing is articulated relative to the mounting member.
