If anyone of you own, or know someone who owns the Lexus RX350 or RX400h or a Mercedes S550/S63/S65...check out their reverse cameras in action. They are crystal clear, and at night (the Benz espcecially) the image is night vision sharp.

I was literally shocked the first time I used my backup camera in my 08' 4.8i. During the day it is somewhat slow to engage, and the picture quality is "so-so". OMG, at night it is totally useless, and honestly embarassing if I have anyone in the car with me. I paid almost $70,000 for my X5, and regardless if this camera is "just an option"...it should be at least as good, or better than in a $45,000 Lexus/Toyota!!
