Yes - the JPL lab was closed. But this just in: I gave up finding a signal in the dash, and ran from the reverse light.

I did not suspend my Prius from the roof for this one...

All please note - the image is on a dark background (so more easy to see) - when it is light (garage backing=white), it is difficult (but still shows) to see.

The image is accurate enough - it goes to .4M, then says STOP. At .5M, I get 22 inches. Not perfect but nice to watch you are getting closer. Also, this is clearly un scientific - just a quick test - but it seems to work well...

This is the first time I've gotten my rear cam to work, and while it does work, I was definitely hoping for a better resolution on a 800x480 display... That said, it works. It's close but not as good as our GX cam - even with better specs. Of course - the cam did cost $20 - and may of may not be as good as it states at night...
