I've searched all existing articles on it and am prepared to trigger on the install. Just a quick couple of questions...are people satisfied with the quality of the image on this camera and...more important does it provide a reasonable image at night? TIA

The OEM camera I have seen provides a pretty good image. Didn't get a chance to see it at night though. The only thing I don't like is the big black boxy looking thing they install on the rear. It is a little too obvious if you ask me. Secondly it points down...so you see the edge of your bumper but not necessarily what is directly behind you!
I went with an aftermarket solution (there's ton's available now including infra red cameras) which I installed into the emblem. Much more discreet. I don't see the edge of my bumper, but get a clear view of everything behind me. The PDC helps judge the distance to any object behind.
