Ron - 27 Jul 2006 22:42 GMT This is vey interesting. Naturally the Ford Territory with reversing camera scores the best, but the one that surprised me was the Chrysler Crossfire. To look at it you'd think it had terrible rear vision!!!

Not content to provide w.nk factor and charge a fair price for it and use it as sucker-bait.... Oh no!
Go the gouge.
Stands to reason, really.

I have access to an lcd flip down sun visor , the whole kit is only around $700.00 in full glorious colour .. with camera fitted and independant of anything else in the car.

200 bucks buys a trick one on ebay.

Is that so? Guess I'll have a look, might fit one to the yacht trailer....it'd sure make backing 35' of trailer easier.

They are pretty good. A friend at work got 2 8" lcd flip down sunvisors for his Patrol for under $400 from some guy in Hong Kong on ebay. Prices for that sort of stuff is dropping through the floor.

ant - 29 Jul 2006 02:25 GMT On the topic of things to help you cheat while reversing, I was watching a middle-aged volvo reverse out of a space yesterday, and it was evidently going to hit the curb behind it. I was waiting for this, and then a noise rang out, and the person braked! For heavans sake, needing something like that is lame. What next, exterior airbags?

what I want to know is why do wagons, especially 4WD wagons need a camera, The Jap vans have a mirror fitted to the rear above the window, these will cover up to a metre behind the vehicle much cheaper than a camera and no need to look elsewhere in the cabin while reversing if your looking back the mirror is right there
this problem of kids being run over is due to carelessness, no other reason, fitting cameras and mirrors will only add to this problem

There is no such thing as blaming "poor visibility" where backing into and over people & things are concerned, as it's 100% the fault of the driver if it occurs.
The vehicle type is completely irrelevant.

Marco - 30 Jul 2006 23:17 GMT > > I have to agree. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Regards, > Noddy. Come on guys, next thing you'll be saying that we should take responsibility for our own actions.
Personally, everything I do with my car is the direct fault of either the car manufacturer or the Government.
Clockmeister - 30 Jul 2006 23:32 GMT >> > I have to agree. >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Personally, everything I do with my car is the direct fault of either > the car manufacturer or the Government. I'll bare that in mind when I run you over.
Noddy - 31 Jul 2006 01:04 GMT > Come on guys, next thing you'll be saying that we should take > responsibility for our own actions. I wouldn't go *that* far :)
> Personally, everything I do with my car is the direct fault of either > the car manufacturer or the Government. Being a product of the politically correct society that we now enjoy, that's perfectly normal. Don't forget to sue for compensation whenever something doesn't work as planned.

What about being smacked when you were a child, surely your parents must take some blame:-)
