EDIT: Tried looking for some reviews of this place. Found a good bit of fake ones, and others that are not good.

Guess I forgot the link. The one I'm talking about is on ebay. You can search for "wifi backup camera."

I see this one has a WiFi option but the license plate camera looks a little bulky. What did you think about it after install? Also wondering if it has an option for outside video input?

I have not installed it...I found the site while doing some research on camera kits to fit Aston Martin.

After finding them I looked at their reviews and they have a lot of negative reviews/feedback. They have a lot of absolutely glowing reviews as well. Generally, when you find such a dichotomy of reviews it usually means that most of the glowing reviews are fake; not much in between. Also, the glowing reviews are very general in description, where the bad reviews talk about specific problems and have a good deal of detail. Another sign that the glowing/positive reviews are fake.

Interesting, but why? If you have parking sensors it should be enough, right? I'd say a better upgrade would be to replace the sh*tty volvo nav with the garmin one...

I guess if you don't have the parking sensors then maybe. None of my previous cars had parking sensors and I never touched anything with the rear of the car. I can't argue they're very useful and make my life easier.

I think they're more useful in the front though, because of those stupid stoppers (??) they put on parking lots and whatnot.

Yes, this is one of the reasons I wanted a front camera. I have "touched" a couple curbs and cement parking stops already. I am trying to not do this because I know the carbon fiber pieces on the front of the car would cost a fortune to replace.

And yes, the rear end of the DBS is difficult to see behind...I am glad there are parking sensors because if there weren't it would next to impossible to back up into any space/garage/whatever!
