First visit with the new car is going to be the auto electrician to organise a reversing camera - it has sensors, but the visibility at the back is not great and Iād much prefer to add a camera in. Fingers crossed they can install without replacing the head unit, but it depends on which specific unit was installed in the car and they wonāt know until they can look at it. I am a bit nervous about manouvering in it, after 19 years in the one car the change is going to be hard.

I love my reversing camera and Fresnel lens in my van. Visibility max. The rear windows look nice and tinted already which is nice.

The windows at the back are so darkly tinted it does restrict the visibility in the rear vision mirror a bit. It has nice big side mirrors though, itās just going to take a bit of getting used to knowing where to look.
I donāt have a reversing camera or sensors in my current car, but I absolutely love them. I used my sisterās new car for an activity where I had to park in some very tight parking spots in the middle of the night and it made it so easy. The Caddy has the sensors already and it doesnāt sound too complicated for them to add the camera into the current system - the one I was origionally going to look at already had one added, which was a big part of the reason it was first on the list to look at.
