Here you go- Sony A0122, it does not have parking guide lines. Got it in 2013 and have it installed on my E39. Very clear display and night images are pretty good.

I have a 4.8iS with adaptive lighting and my guideline's don't move. I'm not sure if they are supposed to or not but they definitely do not. Doesn't really bother me I just thought I would share.

Another thing to add, if anyone ends up using the license plate camera (cutting it up to fit of course) then the guidleines are largely useless anyway, because the camera is offset to one side which give a false representation of the 'dimension' of the car.

Ie. My guidelines are about a 2 feet off centre of the actual position of the car, so largely ignore them.

H'm, interesting. I've observed rear view camera on most vehicles are installed offset to one side including BMWs with factory camera. Perhaps the particular camera system compensates for the offset, I don't know...

For an OEM camera, I'd have no doubts that would be the case - but for an eBay special you are pretty much getting a generic camera moulded to a piece of plastic that fits in a hole - sometimes not even that much!

I just did a camera on our W204 M-Benz, another eBay special, and it has probably 10 degrees of lateral free-play, so even if I did line it up, it wouldn't stay that way for long!

I the cameras to make sure nothing is behind me, posts or trash cans or whatever....that might be below my line of sight. I certainly wouldn't be using it for high speed precision reverse parking!

How did you guys get the bottom tabs to line up with the holes on the dynavin?
When i bend them flat the head unit just flops around and tilts up

anyone?
