Okie here's the camera.

Forte ass is too big and almost all the time I could see whether there’s anything small that could not be detected by the reverse sensor, if with this rearview camera, we could easily see whether there’s obstruction before we reverse the car in-case there’s a small kid standing behind or there’s rubbish bin or big pole, we do not need to play the guessing / estimation game anymore!

Bro,
   I also installed one for my Rondo. And it is specific for Rondo only.. They do have Forte too.. My advice is get the CCD sensor & not CMOS sensor for better night Vision effect as CCD sensors are much better at showing a night image than the CMOS versions. Although the price is 2 times from normal one.. But, worth it..
*
Yes I know about this but the cost can't justify. the one u using is CCD or CMOS?
Now the chip for CMOS is much better.

Wow..long time no visit here and 41 pages already.

I realize the tyre noice is louder and louder, Kumho maybe not that good. Anyone experience the same?
*
yes it's loud...

QUOTE(Jenn77 @ May 21 2010, 08:54 AM)
Agree. Perhaps a better quality tyre and thinner (less contact on the road) can minimize the sound? OR maybe our car sound insulation not very good?  hmm.gif

go do autofoam lo.
