    I have a 2014 Plug-in Prius. Got it used, and love it (though I wish I could get more electric range... next car!). The backup camera is great, but doesn't have a very wide angle
    I was driving my wife's 2017 Honda Fit, and it has an awesome backup camera - super wide-angle, plus the guide lines to show where you're going.
    I know I can't get the guides, but is there some kind of replacement lens or additional lens that would give me the wider angle? Seems safer...
    Thanks!

    Congrats on the PiP. I love mine, but I know what you mean about wanting just a little more range.

    I've never tried this because I'm happy with mine, but I wonder if one of those add on lenses for cell phone cameras would work if you could find a way to mount it securely in the right place. It would be pretty clunky looking if it worked.
