| Since the car wash did my reversing mirror in I have realised just how useful it is. Toyota are quoting £86.00 !! Might get sensors instead. Anyone have good stories about them ? | |

| I usually just stick my head out the window if I'm worried....the rear bumper paint will testify I don't know why cars can't just have a 2" thick strip of rubber on the bumpers...then we can bump at will..... | |

| I'm after a camera, had a seniors moment tother day and backed into someones tow ball. No damage to him leetle ding to me Camera would do the trick..The back window is too dark of a tint for the mirror, actually you have to look hard to see the top brake light because of the tint | |

| I have a mirrror and also dark tint, not much use until I fitted a silver cover on the tow ball, now I use it most the time as looking at the silver spot I can just make out object behind. Parking is so easy now.
I had a cheap stick on sensor pack on a Townace, worked very well, a higher quality set would be worth the effort. | |

| I have sensors fitted - they work very well but the beeping is a pain in the @***! I would probably prefer a camera. | |

| I find my reversing mirror invaluable. Can see exactly what's going on back there.
I've got a light tint on the back, but also one of those one-way see through stickers at the top. | |

| I'm a proud reversing camera owner now. 7" GPS whacked on the dash above the glove box and camera hooked up and so far it's great. Good looking roo bar fractalias | |
