Anyone tried these in their 914? If so,
How did it work out? Brand/model Recommendations? Where to mount rear camera? What to avoid? |

I do not like rear cameras. Tried several in race cars and you can't judge distances (mirrors have parallax) and it's hard to gauge closing distances (ditto).
Further, your focus is constantly having to change from infinity (seeing things outside the windshield) to the short distance of the display (a lot closer). This would be an annoying problem that continues to get worse as you age. If you want to see if something is THERE, sure, it works. But if you want to see where something will BE, nope. |
