I am planning a CES upgrade, and part of this is adding a rearview camera (maybe a front-view/side-view as well). I did search, and found a great deal of information about rearview cameras. Since the majority of what I discovered (messages located in the search) is somewhat older; I would like to revisit this, hoping for more current information.

My questions:

• Does anyone have a rearview camera that they really like?
• Does anyone have comments about rearview cameras that they dislike?

Thanks for your input and opinions.

hahahahahahahaha

 

Well, not exactly, toyota uses rear view cameras extensively in their line-up. it is "fat retard" proof selling strategy. Works quite well.

Cheers !

 

My opinion is that they are worthless. I still have to double check behind me through the windows when backing out so there really is no need. They only rearview cameras i like are from the new Lincolns. They actually have two lines that show where your car is actually going so you can't hit anything.

 

^^ I’ve become accustomed to using a rearview camera… mainly because I cannot see much out of the rear window with my Jeep Commander. I also have the “sonar” device in the Jeep’s rear bumper, and that is helpful.

Of course I always twist my neck to look, but the camera is a great aid.

dud, i am joking, i would like one as well, but i hate to get my headunit out and look for that reverse signal cable….

 

Im with u on this, switching the signal is a hassle. Plus the idea of mouting or either making a whole through your rear bumper is nt encouraging. Juz my suggestion.
