Yeah it would be good if the camera can also see the bumper but unfortunately the cameradoesn't pivot all the way down.

 

you could always do this instead...


turn your head around. works just as well if not better.

 

I'd say 'not better'. I was backing out of a parking spot in a small parking lot the other day, and had to get out to look behind me to make sure there wasn't a big rock or small obstacle behind me that I'd hit with the bumper (and would not be able to see in the mirror or looking behind me). Yeah, I could have remembered to check before I got in the car, but I didn't.... thus the 'not better' part. Not that I'll bother getting a camera, mind you... but I can see a benefit from time to time.

 

Well that works ok, but unless you got ESP, there's no way you'll be able to see the huge blidspot space under the rear windows. And that's what the camera is for. Turning your head is already good but the camera compliments it with added safety.

 

Ok, I bought this same camera from eBay.For anyone interested:

You can not see everything if you just turn your head. The main reason I want this is for parallel parking, as I am terrible with that. The large mirrors help, but I want to be able to see the other bumper as I am backing up. It doesn't matter to me as much that I can't see it right away, or everytime I put it in reverse, although it would be nice, I will only occasionally use it and usually when I am about to leave the car (parking) not as soon as I get in.

With that being said, I would love to have the custom installed one that guides you, but I am not looking to tear my car apart, especially since I may not be able to get it back together as I don't know cars all that well, so I went with the easier and less permanent solution. With that being said, how do I get the panel off of the rear door? I took off the covers (where you can access the rear light bulbs) but I can not figure out how to get it completly off, and I don't want to break anything. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

 

The AUX cuts off when the Outie starts moving correct?

 

You are correct, any video you display on the screen (via AUX or DVD) cuts out somewhere around 10mph, you can still hear sound (if you have any) but no picture.

 

Has anyone found a work-around yet to keep the video when the car is moving?

 

I bought a parking sensor, a full complete set. Those contain:a control box, 4 sensors, a rear view mirror, rear view camera(lisence plate). Those kits working perfect.
