Aftermarket back up camera?

Has anyone used the Mitsu camera harness with a aftermarket backup camera on the mmcs?

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sa...a-adapter.html

and then bought the aftermarket camera on ebay ($64 shipped..pretty worth it considering this was my second back up camera attempt. first one i bought for like $25 bucks and that was crap...didn't work at all and was black and white, not sure what went wrong):

here's the result:

Do you really need the back up camera? Can't you just turn around and look?

Generally I would. Sometimes you're backing up and can't totally tell where your bumper is. It can help in certain situation and it's pretty cheap if you already have NAV, so...

i'm short and i pretty much sink in when i sit on the recaros...when i turn around and look back when backing up (which i still do even with a back up cam), the side bolsters of the recaro and the back seats block about 70% of my view.

Don't know about you guys with the large SSS/MR wing, but with my little GTS spoiler I can't see much of anything out the rear window.

Ever been parked next to two giant trucks and you can't see if there's a car coming from either direction until you've backed out of the space enough to see? That's just ONE reason...

Interesting, my Backup camera setup does not include the dashed guidance lines.

Are these lines from the camera itself? I have the factory nav with an aftermarket camera from Ebay.
