Can a reversing camera be installed in a Panny that already has park sensors but no camera?
Not that you really need a camera if you have the park assist sensors,but when you have it in other cars, it's something you kind of appreciate having.

 

I put in this .... And works great other than two things, doesn't show the lines on screen when backing up (not a big deal to me), and if the car goes into service and they take the battery cable off you have to use the steering wheel buttons (comes with a manual that i suggest to keep in the glove box on the how to) to reset the car to know it has a reverse camera.

thanks! good to know.

 

your in my neck of the world, if you are willing to drive to whitby I can give you the contact info to the place that did it for me. they ordered it and installed it

 

contact info sounds good. Minor detail though...I still have a 911 C4S cab, and haven't sold it yet but was thinking that if I got a Panamera with no camera, that would be helpful to know it can be easily installed.
thanks again!

 

These guys really took care of me, and more importantly took the right care of my car!

Rick is who i dealt with, I would entrust my car with him again!

 

Thanks again! It would beat driving down to Boca Raton to do it.

 

Well, driving to Boca might be fun on it's own and enjoy a vacation there ..

The Shwa has beaches but don't think the same LOL ...

although coming down to whitby won't take a big plan of time. if your coming down to this neck of the woods let me know i'd pop by.

 

also if you have HVAC questions fire away!

 

My dealer installed the NavTV camera for me for $200 - that was a great deal

 

my dealer didn't want to touch it.

 

I don't know if many of you feel like I do on this issue. The Panamera's design severely compromises rear visibility to the extent that it is a safety issue (not a convenience). Porsche should have fitted all Panameras with them as standard equipment; particularly when you see many common every-day cars that offer reversing cameras as standard features.

To me, its rather insulting that one has to pay for features (in cars of this stature and pricing segment) that are commonly found built into much, much cheaper cars. Although I have been a Porsche owner for 40 years, I've always be put off by Porsche's optioning strategy.

 

Absolutely agree on all points. Even looking at the blind spot is a comprimise.
As for Porsche options, I couldn't agree more. For what we pay in options you can by a new Honda. (Which probably comes standard with power seats and other Porsche options).
At least they finally made navi. standard instead of a $3500 option

 

I agree, although this is only my second Porsche you can't see over that large back end and who wants to bump anything in a car that costs 6 figures?


Did you know Hyundai, Kia etc offer reverse cameras as stocked items on their entry level cars? that's on a car that is $26,000 with tax CDN has the navi, reverse camera, 8 way power seats etc..
