Default Backup camera options

Has anyone tried to move the backup camera more to the license plate center or replacing it with an aftermarket model with better guidance markers? The fisheye look is bothering me.

you know I asked this before about the guidance markers I was not there’s no options but these aren’t really tech ppl and in their 50s so you know I might as well not have asked... lol

i looked around but I’ll need to investigate further but it does not look like the guidelines are a feature of the computer but inbuilt to the camera, so technically it’d that’s really the case I don’t see why it cannot be hooked up to existing wiring...

cameras look cheap enough I’ll ask a few sellers and I’ll post back when I find out

My Kia backup camera was great, but then it was a 2015. If I can just unplug the OEM and install an aftermarket on the license that'd be fine. I am pretty sure the lines are in the camera itself.

Well Europe spec LS has guidance lines that react with the steering change . While US spec doesn't have it .
