I used to have problem backing in.. cuz TL's butt is just too big, but now i am more used to it.. i judge the distance between the wall and car by the reflection of my tail lights.... If that product works then it's definitly gonna be helpful

I'm more worried about getting too close to a curb in front and ripping off my bumper.

The tail of the TL tends to come in a bit more than my old car on the sides and the trunk dips downward. It is difficult to see the tail. I guess this gadget would be perfect. But I think a spoiler would enable you to see the tail better!!! Well... that is my justification!

I think the TL's tail is too tall and big.
I had a Mercedes 300SE before, it was way easier to park than my TL, dunno why...

I like the reverse camera that the Inspire has. Anyone ever check the back of the NAV to see if jacks exist for it?
