I only use my right mirror (which tilts down to show me the curb/parking lot painted line) and my camera to back into my spots. It shows me where the car will end up as I move the wheel. > > Very useful. I can make a demo of this feature for you all if you want :lol It’s funny because my buddy used to have a y50 m45 and he loved the back up cam. Then he backed his quarter panel into a pole in a bank parking lot. Terrible driver? Most def. Overconfidence from the back up cam? Oh shore. That car is actually why I dont like them. Shit was super nice and showed curved lines etc for where the car was going. But when I drove it I felt super vulnerable for some reason and preferred to physically look where I was going. But it probably also had a lot to do with me not wanting to mess his super baller car up. Im sure if I had it on a car, Id grow to enjoy it --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/get-ready-for-mandatory-backup-cameras/262857)._
