Backup camera caution message

Does the Z3 HAVE to show the unnecessary backup camera warnng "Caution image may be reversed" or can it be turned off? About to order an ND-BC2, but the caution messages looks like it would be irritating .... kinds like the dumb 'I Agree' to get into the map views. How about with the universal no-name cameras?

 

Thanks

I'm petty sure it has nothing to do with the camera.... It's built into the unit itself....

 

Same as nearly every other rear view camera setup...as well as the passenger side, side-view mirrors that mention the objects are closer than they appear BS....

 

put simple....It's a good way to cover your own ass from the lawsuit happy hippy left wingers that can't enjoy a good thing and fuck it up for the rest of us, because they are incompetant/retards

 

 

 

:D

Big 10-4 on the lawsuit happy hippy left wing incompetant/retards!!!

 

You can't cure stupid with a dumb caution that 99.9% of the people don't need.

 

Makes me rethink even putting in a camera.

I'm actually going to be getting the audiovox cmos1 camera for my z1. anyone aware of any major differences between the audiovox cmos1 an the NC-b2 from Pioneer besides the price? i saw the audiovox at best buy for $99.

Keep in mind, the message is only there in reverse. How much time do you spend backing up? 5 seconds? No reason to avoid buying a safety feature because it puts words on your screen for five seconds

Actually, at this point it is more a gadget, a gizmo than a safety device... something to impress passengers and turn on at car shows. :lol: But, hey, I might be convinced otherwise.

 

No way to turn if off, huh? I hoped maybe it picked up a mirror image signal from the camera.
