Only two gripes about this thing after using it for a day or two.

1.) I really wish it had grid-lines. Beatsonic said they didn't include them because the camera is used in multiple applications, and so the grid-lines wouldn't match due to different vehicle heights. Sucks, but I understand. Gonna see what I can do wizardry wise to make some anyways. And it's really only the vertical ones I want, since when you use the bumper's edge as your "stopping point" (level with the horizontal and vertical intersection at a wall for example), it gives you ~6" from the horizontal plane of the tail end of your bumper and a wall.

2.) Not really a gripe about the camera, but when using a MounTek CD-Slot Phone-Holder, it really makes it inconvenient to utilize the screen when approaching and lining up your parking. However, once you're in the parking "slot", it's not difficult because you can see the lower 2/3s. Guess I'll have to find a better solution for a phone holder (which is a shame, because I LOVED the MounTek).
