Reverse Camera - Trajectory Lines
Hello,
As we all know the 4th Gen TL's back-up camera does not provide trajectory lines that will shift position as the steering wheel is turned. The lines will simply stay straight as an arrow regardless of steering input. My question is, is there some sort of update/mod that can be installed to have these lines provide the actual trajectory of the vehicle as the driver maneuvers while backing up?

so, no software updates will get you trajectory lines.

Yeah I'm use to the straight lines as well. I've used others and while it's cool, I don't really know how useful it is because I'm not even sure if I trust the lines.
I think Acura's reverse cam has got to be one of the best or clearest. My 2014 Camry has it off to one side and seems always dirty compared to mine. My friend's 2006 X6 camera sucks crap. Takes forever for it to kick in. Most of the time you're already reversed in a spot. Even drove a C63 AMG and the lens is so convex that it makes it look distorted and confusing.

That's less a function of the camera, and has more to do with the shape of the vehicle. My wife's Pilot has the same cam as the TL (only the newer models can switch modes between "normal", "wide-angle", and "top-down"), and hers gets dirty if she drives more than a block or so. That's the one thing I like about VW's...the camera tucks away when the car is in forward gear.

Just wanted to add to this thread for anyone searching in the future, the yellow lines on the screen (when in reverse) must come from the main head unit or monitor itself. I have my camera disconnected right now, (but still have the activation wire connected), so when I put go in reverse the screen is blank, but the yellow lines are there, so they can't be part of the camera.
