You can get a small camera which you wouldn't notice sticking out near the exhaust.  I saw a Mk5 that had it fitted in a forum somewhere - can't remember where though.

Didn't go for park reverse sensors. I decided in advance to have a rear camera :cool: Much more discrete from the outside and you know where the kerb is everytime, plus no annoying bleeps :cool:. Comes on automatically when reverse is selected and even has a nightime mode where it changes to black and white for a clearer view :wink: This one mod I absolutely love.

Thats the one - lol, sorry Hurdy, I'd forgotten it was on your car  :rolleyes:

It looks like a superb mod - a 'must-do' on my long list of mods... which will begin soon with a remap...  :evil: and carbon fibre bonnet

Lol. And dont forget that you must never stand behind the car when its in reverse. My mom once almost drove me over  :evil:
Car was in reverse and I stood directly behind it. And opened the boot. Do you have any idea how loud that bloody beeper is? My me almost had a heart attack.  :rolleyes:

Yes it does display through the Kenwood HU :smiley: it gives a full 7" wideangle view from the back end.
