Can anyone show pics of what you see when the rearview camera is on please. How accurate is it and how good is it (apart from the obvious) compared to conventional parking sensors?
I've never had this before or seen one in operation.

it would be best to see it and judge for your self it gives a good view but i personally cant get to grips with it and keep waiting for the crash, however others say its excellent and they have no issue with it at all. Like you I would prefer the audible bleep you get from sensors but i am certain once mastered the camera will be great

I love it and I'm a terrible and nervous parker.
You can see the edge of the car, so you can work out how near you are to the object. The traffic light coloured markers guide you in, at the end of the red zone you have about a foot/ 30cm between you and the object. I've used it to park almost buff against the object.
The guide lines also mean you can see when you are in line with bay markings.

Good picture.
That blue/ silvery block just above the writing is the bumper of the car, so you can clearly see when you are getting near.

How does the camera perform in the dark? Does the reversing light illuminate enough for the camerea to pick things up?

I'll forgive you if you can explain how you can get the scroll on the steering wheel to scroll through just the radio presets, not every radio channel listed.

unfortunately being a man i dont do reading instructions but i will promise to see what i can fathom out next week, was going to say have a play or fiddle with it but worried about response from 12"

mind you I will have to put some stations in the preset first btw you know that the systems will display all locally available stations on screen

Thanks all. It's a big help

tram lines in the monitor are all so where the weels will be not the sides of the car

I find reversing sensors a much better and simpler idea,

I made reference to the camera in a recent topic...

Guys i have just ordered the Tekna which comes with the reversing camera as standard. I too was somewhat perturbed by the lack of audible warnings when we took one for a test driveparticuarly as I already haveaudible rear sensors on my X Trail so am used to that friendly beep beep!I have therefore ordered the Tekna to be fitted with Rear parking sensors as a good back up.I think Nissan should look at this issue and have the rear camera and audible warnings as a joint package.

I did have audible reversing sensors on my previous car. My Juke comes with just the reversing camera.

To be honest, I reverse as normal with a combination of mirrors and over the shoulder glances (the way it should be done), then reverting to the camera for final adjustments. Works perfectly and in the dark it's amazing how much light is given off by the reversing light and how the lens on the camera sees clearly using this light.

I have to say I prefer the camera to audio warnings especially with kids in the car as they both shut up squealing and are transfixed to the screen.
