My Prius has a camera. I still use looking over the shoulder however if I'm baking up close to another car behind me then ill keep an.eye on the camera too.

Nav tv makes a fully integrated back up camera system for 900.

In the US market, they will have to include a camera for the 2014 model year, per Federal law. Anyone know when the first 2014s are expected to be delivered?

I love my car. But if a Targa with a rear-camera appears in 2014 I might be temped to put off having kids another year or two. Sorry, kids.

Lambo too.

The 458 has it.

Not that I know better (or particularly care if I'm honest) but I would not put faith in anything dealers put on their website. Most of that is cut-and-paste text that often has nothing to do with the model displayed. A favorite of mine from Porsche dealer websites is "pass-through rear seats". You know, like those back seats that turn a sedan into a long-bed pickup?

On a 911. Sound effects must be amazing. Talk about your symposers...

True but know it from actually driving one. Take a look at the options price sheet though. Look for item PAC 1.

fwiw, i found this website for a rear facing camera designed for the 991. looks like it is integrated with the license plate illumination. note that installing voids your pcm/radio warranty according to the manual. anyone interested in being the guinea pig?!?

Instruction manual looks good, except for how to remove the radio from the car. Sometimes that is quite difficult

$900 for a $90 lipstick camera is daft.
Having to void the warranty on a $3000 (?) factory head is double daft.
I've seen a few PCM warranty claims, I wouldn't want that to be out of coverage. I wouldn't want a "gen 1" 991 to be out of warranty.
I do want a rearview camera, but I'd rather buy a Contour and a Nexus 7 and leave them both permanently in the car than do this hackery.

How's this coming along? I don't see anything on your site. Seems like there's more demand for it than just me. : )
If you need a "beta" tester …

Porsche actually does have a backup camera option for the 991

For some reason its only an option for the new Turbo and Turbo S

$1090 only a few hundred bucks more than the previous front and rear P.A


"ParkAssist (Front and Rear) incl. Reversing Camera
Includes:
Parking Aid
Ultrasonic distance sensors integrated in front and rear fascia

Porsche Communication Management (PCM)
A color image with superimposed dynamic guidelines on the PCM screen to facilitate controlled and precise reverse parking and maneuvering"


I'm not sure why anyone would complain about having a backup camera, I had one on my S5 and miss it dearly, esp when in the new 991 C4S it makes me nervous every time I back out of a spot

I'm guessing there will soon be a retrofit using the Turbo's Park Assist with Camera, so I'm going to wait before risking frying my PCM.

The 2014's are being delivered now without back up cameras. The Federal law in the US was actually pushed out a year and now it's the 2015's that have to have it hence not on 2014 991's as yet at least. Not even an option yet.
