rhpt Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Is it posible to reposition the rear camera on a 2011 Edge, or is it a stationary object? I ask because the other day I was sitting on the passenger side while my wife drove, and I notice that you can see the back bumper. I've had the car for a couple of months now, and I have never noticed it before. I wonder if the camera was moved somehow or I just never noticed. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wide angle is meant for you to be able to aim your car using surrounding reference. Seeing my back bumper in relation to a red painted curb or white parking lines is awesome. Backing into my parking spot in my car port is tough due to the tight configuration of the support pillars, but the Edge's camera allow me to see a cross reference between the front of the pillar and the corner of my car. With the camera, I can move this large car is tight places better than people in Corollas. I just have to be careful sometimes as the wide angle deceives your depth perception, even more than the passenger mirror does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, seeing the back bumper is a good thing, it also ensures that you know where the bumper is in relation to the wall or other cars behind you. If you couldn't see the bumper then how would you know when to stop backing up before you hit the car behind you or guessed you were close enough.. M.

edgemaster Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 How do I find out whether my 2007 SEL is equpped with a rear view camera or not? Thanks, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Ed Putting the car in reverse would bring up the camera screen on your Nav unit screen. Alternatively, you can look for a camera above the rear license plate.

edgemaster Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Well, reverse doesn't bring up anything and I can't locate a camera above the rear license plate. Guess that answers my question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson5 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 yup, i'd much rather see the rear bumper than not see it. gives you a really good idea if you are about to hit something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
