about backing into "something". Of course I do not want to back into another vehicle or a light post, etc... However I have heard the horror stories of people backing over kids, in some cases their own. Even mid-size cars have a significant blind spot behind them, meaning you can not see 7' to 10' feet back. With mid-size SUV's it becomes a deeper zone of, With the H2 it must be 20' or so. I will definitely put some kind of video system in my H2 for backing up. I also agree with Steve that an audio system is important in conjunction. It may seem like overkill and it may get a bit pricey but this is a place I think it is worth spending the money.
When I spoke to my dealer about a video system he told me they deal with a company that installs the monitor into the side view mirror. Meaning when you put your vehicle in reverse a portion of your mirror shows what is behind you. I like this, you look at your side view mirror anyway and when it is not in use it is not obtrusive.
