Default Rear Vision - anyone tried rear vision camera yet?

As per topic title - just wondering with comments about rear vision and tinting etc - if anyone has tried installing a rear vision camera. I've been looking at some GPS/rear vision camera combinations on ebay. I already have a GPS (keeps telling me to go into people's driveways) and figured maybe a combination might work (apart from all the people breaking into cars to steal GPS units).

Have you seen 2 fast 2 furious? When hes on the highway and does the 180 spin and goes in reverse, hes using one. I do this all the time so it was completely necessary. Great addition, would highly recommend.

Agree with Paulie0735 about the rearwards vision.
Most modern European car designs now feature a "high tail" which is what causes most of the comments. Rear seat head restraints can make things worse if they are raised up.
Even the FG has gone part of the way, following the Kinetic design thing with the rising waistline.
I think that vision from the rear passenger side window is more of an issue, particularly for smaller kids like mine.
