(CBS DETROIT) -- Michigan drivers who are looking for something a little extra may be interested in a digital license plate.

The state is the third in the U.S. to approve the use of digital license plates, following behind California and Arizona.

This comes about three years after the effort initially passed in the state Legislature, allowing the usage of digital plates.

The RPlate, which was developed by California-based company Reviver, offers two options: a battery-powered, self-installed model with a replaceable five-year battery at $19.95 a month, and a hard-wired, professionally installed model with integrated telematics features and a backlit display at $24.95 a month.

Both devices offer a platform for drivers to connect their vehicle with services including registration renewal, vehicle location services and security features.
