We had talked about getting one of these for awhile and hadnt done anything about. Nice idea, one of these days type of things.
Warren felt the car was veering a little to the left and declared that it needed a wheel alignment and he booked it in last week. Before he came back he had visited Auto Barn and sussed out reversing cameras.
We had used one in the hire car that we had used in Darwin and thought it was pretty good. He came home with prices and for $420, it was the purchase price and fitting, we decided to go for it.
Car needed to be there on Friday morning, of course Murphy's law, the first available time they had was Thursday which was the only day we had the lunch up the coast, so Friday it needed to be.
Got a call just after lunch to pick it up and Warren was going to go down by bus but as he had to wait twenty minutes, I suggested that the bike would be quicker. He said "If I take the bike, I would have to dink you down" Yes, that was the idea. I realised that it is almost twelve months since I have been on the back of his bike.
Camera is great, the rear view mirror is larger as the screen is in there. The camera is quite small and sits above the number plate, it does show up all of the back. I dont think I could ever get used to only looking at the screen but it is a good addition for ease and safety.
