Reverse Camera has a benefit...
- Thread starter 6appeal
- Start date
I keep going hot and cold in having the reversing camera being added to my order. I am maxed out on my budget already and removed the 'Light design package' in favour of the coloured leather gaiter and MT carbon gearstick as I will take pleasure seeing this every time I get into the car.
So apart from providing the driver some guide lines indicating where the car will be positioned based upon the position of the steering wheel. From what I recall the rear visibility is good using the car mirrors alone? Or am I missing something here? I.e. will having the reversing camera help when parallel parking?
I know its £400 extra not mega, however I still need to fund the visit to PaintShield so that £400 would come in handy!

Classic!
On the camera, I've had one in my last couple of cars so become something of a habit I suppose. Isn't essential, just a nice to have.
My current car has 5 camera's on it
there's a funky little setting where you can have an aerial view of the car, dead handy sometimes for parking bays or really tight manouvres, is like having a little drone hovering over the car. Car has a camera in the rear badge, camera underneath each wing mirror, and two camera's in the front bumper.

If it saves you damaging the rear of the car just once it has paid for itself massively. I have had a camera on three cars and my new order CS2 and I'm on a budget too and have had to make tough decisions on the spec. One of those thing you don't see the value in until you have had one, a bit like TPM.

Thanks Curious2, after long think about at possible retro fitting options for the future, I think the best option is to ditch the 'Carbon gear stick and leather gaiter' in favour for the sensors with the reversing camera. This would expect that the gear stick and leather gaiter will be easy to replace. I still want the 'Carbon gear stick and coloured leather gaiter' however this can wait. In the future I may even want install a short shift gear stick!
I quite like the camera on mine. I generally use the wing mirrors to judge alignment esp with kerbs and the camera to just distance to what is behind, which is typically a soft hedge so I am happy to edge closer than the sensors suggest.
