My Ford Focus has one, and I hadn't any problems with it. That and the proximity sensors are great features, I'm glad that they will become part of every car eventually.

Really?

Mine (A MB GLK) works very well. It's never been too dirty to see, and it has a great overlay showing range to objects and current trajectory.

My car is cheap; a Subaru Forester. Tiny plastic bubble lens. Live on a gravel road; drive in all weather in town.

Maybe this summer it will be better, but its been crap all fall, winter and now spring (in Iowa).

I have two cars with backup cameras, the first I got in 2007. I have never experienced this to be the case.
