HTC Rear View

[Thom]

I do not have the high wing, or any spoiler ...

I did not know that the 911 was a mid engine vehicle

Engine is still in the back, but visibility is much better.

I have had my 2021 C8 HTC for about 6 weeks now. Love the car but the view out the back via the rear view camera is just about useless. I drive with top down 95% of the time, so camera in rear view mirror does not help (why did GM mount this camera on the roof, would have been better placed on the rear bumper in my opinion). So the bottom half of the rear view is blocked by the hump on the rear deck lid, then the top part of the rear window glass takes out another 1/4", then the high wing takes out about 1.5". Going down a hill, all I can see is sky LOL.

I have tried raising the seat to get a different angle on the view, but there is not much room to do that before you run out of mirror.

Oh, and I also made the mistake of pulling out of a parking lot at a 45 degree angle to the street - could not see a damn thing through the nacelle on passenger side. So, lesson learned - have to pull out at 90 degrees to the street.

Any suggestions on how to improve rear view?

I read on another forum that there's a way to get your back up cameras to display on the entertainment center while driving with the top down for people that want this option. Not ideal but It would probably fix your issue.

You only need to see where you are going and not where you've been!

RIP Raul Julia... (I won't give the movie away) but that's a pretty good hint for those of us over 45 lol...

Google is awesome but it has taken away friendly banter and debate... Just google it when we're playing 20 questions... lol

Install a wireless cam under the back bumper or where ever you want. They make them super small (1 inch or less diameter) so could be 99% hidden I would imagine. Then find a place to put the screen. Under the sunvisor maybe?

I like the idea

Thanks. I will check that out. Not really looking to modify the interior in any way though.

May stick on some wide-view miniature mirrors on both door mirrors... Happy Motoring!!!
