Default 2016 Spyder- back-up camera
Was a back-up camera available (standard or an option) on the 2016 Spyder?

Thanks,

G.

Yep, it was an available option. I was going to skip it when I ordered my Spyder but my SA talked me into it. Thank goodness he did! There is zero visibility when backing. The wife's GT4 didn't have a backup camera, but I was able to source a kit through a 3rd party and installing it was pretty easy. Google it and you'll get both information on vendors and youtube's of the installation.

Totally agree. I've never cared that much about rear view cameras, didn't have one on my 981 cayman, but I couldn't imagine not having it on the Spyder. You'd basically be backing up with your eyes closed.
