A firm favourite among Ireland's most experienced drivers. Discontinued, but wholly supported by Pulsar Europe — re-programmable to the current Irish national tariff, fully NTA-approved, and verified by Applus. Five dedicated push-buttons, no menus, no compromises.
The PRIMUS MIRROR is a firm favourite among Ireland's more experienced taxi drivers — the ones who've been on the road long enough to know exactly what they want from a meter and won't settle for less.
Like the RS-01, this is a rear-view mirror mounted unit — clean, integrated, and positioned where it belongs. But where the RS-01 has four buttons, the PRIMUS MIRROR gives you five dedicated push-buttons, each mapped directly to a specific function. That extra button isn't a gimmick.
When you're working nights on a busy rank, taking airport runs, flat-rate jobs and standard metered fares all in the same shift, having instant one-press access to every mode without navigating a menu is the difference between smooth operation and fiddling with your meter while your passenger watches impatiently.
That classic retro red LED display — glowing against the dark of an early morning rank — is visible to both driver and passenger simultaneously. There's something immediately trustworthy about it. Passengers have been watching that red fare click over for decades; it removes any ambiguity and carries a weight of familiarity that no modern screen quite replicates. The PRIMUS MIRROR handles standard tariff metered jobs, pre-agreed flat-rate fares, and reservation mode for pre-booked pickups, making it versatile enough for any mix of work whether you're driving in Dublin city centre, covering airport runs from Shannon, or running rural calls in Connacht.
The mirror-integrated design keeps your cab looking professional and uncluttered — no bracket stuck to the dash, no extra wiring harness running across the windscreen area. One unit, neatly mounted, doing everything.
Pre-programmed with the full Irish national tariff, NTA and Legal Metrology approved. Full 3-year warranty included. Programmed, verified and supported directly in Ireland by Pulsar Europe. Call +353 87 283 5120 for pricing and availability.
Every mode has its own button. Start job, change tariff, flat rate, reservation, supplement — instant one-press access, always. No menu diving mid-fare.
Clips onto your existing rear-view mirror. Clean cab interior, no dash bracket, no drilling. Positioned exactly where your eye naturally falls.
Pre-agreed fares for airport runs and fixed-price jobs handled instantly. No metering required — set the flat rate and go.
Pre-booked pickups handled professionally. Reservation mode keeps the meter accurate from the moment the job begins.
Wires directly to your taxi sign. Free/hired switching is fully automatic — no manual toggling at the end of a busy run.
Full manufacturer's warranty with a rated 15-year operating life. ATA's sub-2.5% return rate is the proof in the pudding.
