Beats the crap out of the Lexus backup camera. My gf has an ES350 and I have absolutely no clue how close I am to something without the park assist kicking in, which makes me nervous lol.

Its mounted up high enough that the perspective is very good and the quality of the image is excellent. It is more than a novelty for me

it works great for me! will always get a vehicle with a backup camera... it really helps, and the colored lines do tell how approximately how far away you are from things.

I'm with car addict, it's a must have, I backup into my garage every day and when parking in lots with double rows use it to confirm I'm not out to far in front.

Works so well that I forgot how I ever drove without it. Makes backing up a into a spot a whole lot faster too.

I was able to mow down multiple nuns in reverse due to the amazing accuracy of the rear camera. I give it

Its a camera thats basically shooting "live" how can you not know where or how close you are? Are you ppl exaggerating? not like the camera zooms in and out automatically.

I do have to say its really good that Infiniti's back up camera have those colored lines, I think they are really helpful cause it guesstimates approx where the car is going to end up, very very useful when parallel parking, especially when you got $5-6000 set of wheels. no curb rash here. But I do got to admit, the quality of the reverse camera is not as good and clear as Lexus. The color cannot match with the clarity and the actual color of the item at night time. However, its still way better than Honda and acura's back up camera. they become almost a black and white special at night time. But the colored lines are definitely the best

The back up camera works great. I can now back up into every spot I see and look like I know what I'm doing. Luv it
