Not just that - it shows where the car is going depending on the steering wheel position. I find this useful when getting out of tight parking lots.Spies said:Retrofitting a RVM onto a Leaf will not give you what I feel makes the Leaf RVM great, the guides and that the camera is dead center. Every time I get back into my Prius and use its RVM that has no guides and is off center reminds me how superior the Leaf RVM is.

You sure about that? It seems like the ruling got delayed again.OrientExpress said:The RVC rule is in effect for MY 2014 cars.
jkirkebo said:I'm not thrilled with the new option packages. I like the RVC and would also like the around-view if I was getting a 2013 Leaf. But I definately do not want the Bose as it takes up valuable trunk space. So if I had to choose I would get neither (or get both and remove the subwoofer if it is possible).
I do not see why these options are bundled.
I had a chance to play with the AVM at the BayLeafs MY'13 demo. In addition to the 4-camera view that all the photos show, if you press the button a second time, the side display changes to just the RH mirror camera showing a view down so you can see where you are relative to the curb. In this mode, you see either the front or back camera in the main display (3/4 of the screen) depending on if you are going forward to reverse, along with the curb view in the right 1/4 of the screen. Perfect for parallel parking without having to guess how close you are to anything.MikeD said:OrientExpress: I am not clear on how easy it is to use the AVM feature, etc versus the RVC (which I am familiar with on my 2011 SL). Is it possible some people will greatly prefer the RVC over the AVM, yet it not be available because they want an SV or SL (and so only can get the AVM via the P01 Premium Package)?

Unfortunately, it's only two views: 4-way and right curb. I found the 4-way view to be pretty much worthless, though I only sat in the car for a few minutes so I could be wrong. My though is that they should have saved the cost of the camera in the driver's side mirror. :lol:MikeD said:DoxyLover: How many different camera "views" does it seem to toggle thru? So if you press the "camera" button another time does it show the LHS camera+Front/Back?
No reason at all an aftermarket one can't be dead center. Fair point on the guides if you care about that (I don't personally).Spies said:Retrofitting a RVM onto a Leaf will not give you what I feel makes the Leaf RVM great, the guides and that the camera is dead center.

And you would be wrong. That is the whole point of this thread.drees said:I have to assume that the Navigation/7"-color-screen of the SV/SL also gets you the rearview camera as it does on the 2011/2012 LEAF.
Gee - lighten up? No need to be so harsh.evnow said:And you would be wrong. That is the whole point of this thread.
Infact, this is the only feature removed from 2013 that was in 2012.
