Is a reversing camera one of those things that I've never had, always ridiculed, but when I finally get one, can't live without it?

Version 2 is much tidier. Now get some plastidip on it for maximum discreteness.

How difficult was it to integrate with the RNS-E though? Can you use the TV input?

It's a use once application, perfect for one-night stands, dogging and rapists.
