With all this backup crashing in H3's, I hope the insurance companies don't start considering our rigs "high risk".

I was at stop sign and a truck was cut the corner tight. I looked in both side mirrors and the rearview mirror and nothing put it in reverse and crunch. 
I put a 6x8 3M stick on prism in the upper corner of the wiper area. Not as high tech as a camera but it works. 
The dog thinks it’s cool to he looks through it allot when we are going down the road..

I added the back-up sensor more cost effective than the camera.

Where did you mount the sensors? Do you have any problem with the spare on the back?

Got the 6"x8" rear lens yesterday. I put it on the upper left (driver side) for a trial. With the H3 in the garage, I can see most of the driveway which looks promising. I am having a cataract operation tomorrow and my wife will be driving the next two days.
I will report on the results shortly.
Best regards, Happy Jack

I would like to hear more info on a camera that can work with the factory Nav System screen. Any chance GM will offer it as an add on in the future? I think the Tahoe uses the same nav unit in dash and they do have a factory installed camera hooked up. Am I correct? A friend of mine just got a fully loaded Tahoe a few weeks ago, I'm going to take a closer look at the way it is set up.

I have attached photos that I took while the H3 was in the garage to show what can be seen with the new rear view lens. I took the photo of the inside rear view mirror from the driver's seat so the image is reversed. This view is what the driver sees looking forward without cranking the neck around, which appeals to me. The rear seat is folded down on driver's side, so the lower half of the rear window is not covered as it would be with the seat up, allowing an undistorted view through that part. We will drive it that way unless we have passengers.
The shadow from the roof on the driveway is about 1/2 way to the sidewalk which indicates that a child or dog would be visible. Without the lens, only the upper half of the neighbor's wall is visible as you can see in the photos.
We are quite satisfied that we won't need a back-up camera and think the lens is the ideal solution. It appeals to my frugal nature and as I mentioned, I don't like the idea of hacking into the electrical system.
Best regards, Happy Jack (driving again with two new eyes)

Rear view lens looks useful. Does it work okay at night?

HAL,
Should be able to get a "V" chip at any car audio place. It is the chip that converts the signal for display on the factory Nav. It will also allow the factory Nav to display/play DVD. I pay about 450 for the chip and about 300 for the camera. |

I tested the rear view lens tonight and I can see the driveway by the light of the backup lights. I'm sold!
Best regards, Happy Jack

Rear lens could be a low cost alternative to various backup cams.
I've noticed a majority of accidents discussed on this H3 forum involve BACKING into objects and cars.

Couldnt you put it in the area the wiper covers and seats could be left up?.
I have a rear cam but wouldnt mine one of those, list info on were to get one and price.
