Camera upgrade question
My car only has the reversing camera, any ideas how difficult/expensive it would be to retrofit an OEM surround view system?
Ta, hope everyone is keeping safe. Mick |

Don't think the cost would justify it but have to say I couldn't do without them now.

It’s been done in Malaysia. I’ve seen a couple of retrofit videos. No idea about the expenses though.

Hmm interesting, what's even tow hitch setting in the camera menu?

Probably a zoomed view to attach a trailer or something to the car?

Question -- if you don't have surround view, do you still have the top down view (rightmost quarter of the screen in the video)? Mine was ordered with pretty much all options, so I'm unclear on what I would not have if I had not ordered the parking option with surround view.

The 3D camera angles are nice, and come in handy in multiple situations, but its the top view that's the game changer for me. |
