I know, it's an old topic, but I thought it needs an update.

Before you make the hassle with reinventing the wheel, look at Aliexpress (I am not affiliated in any way).

There you can get auto dimming mirrors with Android and GPS, touchscreen and bluetooth and WiFi and whatnot for $120.

I have a DVR mirror in my car (hardwired with mini USB to the interior light under the roof cover) which works very good, but now I want to upgrade to an auto dimming mirror DVR.

A simple one you can already buy for $60.

There are even mirrors with compass and temperature (without DVR) just like those Gentex mirrors for $70.

So my advice is to look around before you make your life harder.
