Camera backing system
This item is from Costco for 89.95. You can use it so you know exactly how far away you are from a parked car or just to see what is behind you. The camera mounts onto the two license plate screws and blends right in. It comes equipped with everything including monitor.
Anyone install this yet? If so how do you rate this product?

It's probably a wide angle so you won't you know exactly how far away you are from a parked car like you think.

Hey, it's good enough for a Lexus! 
I wonder if it could input into the NAV screen-probably not. That'd be a neat idea, make it switchable on the NAV screen.

Maybe that would be practical for some folks here who have a lot of tint on their windows, but I think I can do without it.

I upgraded my audio system with a Pioneer AVIC-Z1 and added the back camera. It wasn't that I needed it, but you know, boys with toys.
Anyway, I use it when backing out of my driveway. You can't see small items directly behind you when you are behind the wheel. Never know if one of the kids will leave a skate board in the driveway.

It comes with its own monitor. To those of you who don't need this just how can you see what is in front of your bumper and rear bumper. If you have a C-6 you will see there is clearly no view to make judgements on distance.

I guess I'm just lucky, but so far after 32 years of driving and parking cars everyday, I think I've got it down, and have never tapped anything.

My rear got rubbed by a "braille" parker. I've got some nice scratches below my license plate. I know not to parallel park this car, but I didn't expect some granny to have her front plate make love to the *** end of my ride. Sometimes, a rear camera would be a good thing, sometimes...a front camera is needed for some!

black05c6z51,
Let me know how this works out for you. My wife is so used to the one on our GX470 that I don't think she actually looks back anymore ;-)
This could be a great safety-net before she scratches my car!!!
Regards,
Luis
