Reverse radar question

...also being called Backup Sensor. I've been thinking about getting one ($80-$90? with the LCD display) but still can't decide. 1. is it really benefitial as far as during the reverse parking situations? 2. can't imaging putting 4 holes on the rear bumper.... Any inputs or suggestions is appreciated.

I know there is a camera mount that you can use from the JDM version, but that's $$$. Best I've seen that is aftermarket is a guy in Chicago had a backup camera linked to an aftermarket rearview mirror that had an LCD screen in it. The MDX has on link into the Navi screen, but not sure if there is a retro fit there for us.

seems like such products (even the camera models) are pretty inexpensive on the Asian market. I've seen installation goes as cheap as $10! Of course you can't take your car there...

I saw that one in Costco for around $85 bucks. It's made by VR-3 and the kit comes with a color LCD allows you to mount it wirelessly. The detail can be found at their website: http://www.roadmasterusa.com/backupcamera_vr3.php but I don't know how to install it on my TSX since it still requires to run wire from the plate to the backup light bulb.
