If you dont want to or can't set up a backup camera this is the next best thing. Best $40 I ever spent. Install is simple. I used the DIY backup camera instructions. I would say this is easier since you not running any wires to the front. Sensors work great. They pick up the cement blocks they have at some parking spots and anything bigger of course. The speaker is small and loud. I hit mines in the trunk by the wheel well and have it on low and can still hear it clearly. I love this car just like everyone here but backing up is scary since you can barley see anything. This was a perfect solution since it didn't require any drilling or new holes.

if anyone needs help finding the tail light wire to tap into i know a location where its super easy to tap into. That was the hardest part of the install for me. nothing online made it clear where it was. All the posts just said to look for the tan orange wire but there are so many of those. if anyone has any questions feel free to post or PM me.

Nice! I'm thinking about this because with the top up, the rear view is especially bad.

NICE! It's a super easy install. If I didn't waste time looking for the tail light wire this would have been done under an hr even if I took my time.

If you have question regarding performance or install feel free to PM me.
