Why don't you look for a 2015 Monogram at the end of the model year (this summer)? If you can find one, the dealer will probably give some on the price and it will have the features you want.

I agree; if it is going to fail, it will likely fail in the first 20k miles. The warranty is to 60k so after that you can mod the hell out of it anyway.

The difference between an empty and full fuel tank is 75 lbs. I don't think you'll notice the weight of a backup camera.

Sorry. Is there a thread for complaints about the BU camera yet, or will that just go in the "hate" thread?

OH that will be fun!
"I can't change my music when I am backing up"
"Why doesn't my camera swivel as I turn?"
"Has been raining and now my screen is all blurry. Anybody else have this problem"
"The screen is to big"
"The screen too small"
"How can I adjust the height of the view?"
"It adds weight and I can feel it every time I turn" (Already had the weight thing come up)
"I can't see anything at night/day/dawn/dusk"
"Now we need a front view one because they screwed up the design of the car and I can't see my bumper so keep hitting parking stops"

Think of the awesome possum vid you could be posting right now if you had a front camera.

ETA: Yeah, I can see the head unit complaints now. Kudos to Mr. Tada for not telling is all to FOAD.

Eclipse's are like unicorns in Australia.

As far as I know there aren't any RHD ones here at all.

We need to get Obama to approve a Silvia S15's for Eclipse GSX international trade treaty.

I can't figure out how to record when I'm backing up

Whoa that's cool, is that happing now?

Why isn't it in 3D

I'm personally interested in the backup camera. I've always wanted one in my vehicles, though it would probably be more useful in my 4Runner. I'll probably just wait and see when that part is available to buy separately.

The left over new Monograms are $24.5k-$29k now. Of course, the ones that are cheaper are getting bought out quicker.

Yeah back up cameras are very nice when reversing out of parking spots...such a nice luxury in the honda...wouldn't mind getting it as a add on for our cars in the future
