I'm sorry I haven't got an answer for you but this will 'bump' the topic for you. There have been loads of posts going through recently.
All I can say is my satnav is half that size and doesn't get in the way at all. I'd be interested to find out how you get on as I have a Mk7 and may be interested in a reversing camera one day.
Hi.
We have a camera screen fitted to our r/view mirror,it is slightly bigger than the mirror,but ,it does not obstruct my forward or mirror r/view view,phew!. Do not know what sort it is,it was fitted by Autosleeper/Marquis northampton,proper job.

OK I spoke to several installers and they all felt the mirror/ monitor
could be a little tricky to use on times.......
Both advised the Veba 5.8" screen unit that is fully tiltable and can easily be mounted in the drivers side corner on a Mk7 transit van.
I bought the 5.8" screen kit from Dynamic Sound Ltd for £179 so I'm very pleased. Vanbitz wanted £529 to supply and fit!
CHRISV - we nearly bought a T660 as the layout is identical to the Dethleffs T63 but the front dinette is a little small for 2....very nice van all the same!!
The previous owner put the screen on a mount where the document holder is. (center of the dash over the radio)
I was told last year by VOSA to remove it for the MOT as it obscured the drivers view.

I bought one that clips over the existing mirror, when camera is off you still get a "mirror". Installed it myself and concealed the cable in the headliner so it is not an obvious item to be stolen. 6" visible screen coupled with a 180 degree cmera with night vision. It is really useful, half wished I hadn't bought a separate SATNAV and investigated possibility of having this linked to mirror. two inputs
Following on from the comment by Inkey regarding the reversing camera, my van failed its MOT on brakes but they also said that it failed because the camera `was obstructing the drivers vision by over 4%.
My camera is mounted as close as possible to the dashboard tray above the glove compartment on the Ducato. There is no way it is an obstruction to my view but that is the law.
This may only apply in Class 4 MOT`s (for vans over 3500 kg.
