what's a good back up camera?

[QueBert]

Stereo shop up the street sold me one for my new HU, it's one of the license plate ones because the area you usually mount them is plastic and they didn't want to mess with that. The image looks clear on it and it has IR, but it's horribly fish eyed and doesn't have the red/white lines to help guide you. The fish eye effect makes it pretty damn hard to use, when I go to parallel park I can't even see the curb when I get close and there can be a car right next to me but backing up I won't see it unless I check my blind spots. I know I should rely 100% on a camera to park, but it would be nice if I had one that performed better.

no budget here, any suggestions? I want less distortion, IR and the guidance lines.

DX has a zillion for cheap (if you don't mind waiting on the slow boat from China):

I've seen several with the backup lines. They have license plate ones, as well as ones you can drill in or mount on your car.

The one that just came on my Range Rover is good....not sure what the complete 360 cameras are useful for yet though 😉

Do you all spinal issues that prevent looking over your shoulder?

I don't know about you, but I can't drive a car doing that. Also, that doesn't help with judging distance, which I always have trouble with, especially with the non-visible trunk on the Mustang.
