Used Cars With Rearview Camera Technology: What To Look For

The law requiring cars to have a standard backup camera was passed in 2018 and gradually made waves through the entire auto industry. Most vehicles made during 2018 will have one; nearly all made after 2019 will be easy targets when shopping for used cars with backup cameras.

The question is: are all backup cameras made equal? No. Some have more features and intuitive guidance than others. Therefore, when you're browsing used cars with backup camera systems, look for the following features:

• Dynamic gridlines: This feature will project lines on the display that predict your vehicle's path as you back up, helping to ensure safe reverse exits.
• Sonar system: These sensors detect objects nearby, alerting you if your vehicle gets too close while backing up so that you can avoid dings and dents in tight parking spots.
• Hi-resolution camera/display: A backup camera system is only as good as its image quality. A crisp, hi-res backup camera system will make it easier to spot hazards.

Our Volvo certified pre-owned vehicles have all three features ready for you to enjoy. Many other higher-end used cars with backup camera systems can also contain these essential aides; ask our team about our current selection in Midlothian, VA.

Used Cars With Reverse Camera vs. Surround View Camera

You can find a much more powerful safety system as you explore our used vehicle inventory: a surround-view camera system. Imagine a backup camera but for every angle of your vehicle's exterior; that's what this system is. However, it is often a higher-end option limited to upper-tier trim levels of specific vehicles. Ask our team which of our used cars includes a surround-view camera system. When the system activates, you'll get a 360-degree top-down view of your vehicle. Make cramped parking spots a cakewalk with this option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of having a backup camera?

The main benefit of choosing used cars with backup camera systems installed is that reversing out of or into parking spots becomes much more manageable. You can monitor obstacles behind your car without turning your head to look. A backup camera is great, but we recommend a surround-view camera system with 360-degree views for the ultimate visual confidence while parking.

Where is the backup camera located on my vehicle?

The backup camera will be located on the rear fascia of your vehicle, usually in the middle of the liftgate or the rear-facing part of the trunk lid. This placement is designed for ideal rear visibility. Examine the exterior of your vehicle and look for a small black circle inset into the bodywork to find the backup camera. The image will be displayed on your vehicle's infotainment screen.

Are backup cameras required by law?

Yes, a law was passed in 2018 that requires all new cars to have a backup camera installed as standard from the factory. So, from the most affordable compact sedans to the most luxurious full-size SUVs, you can expect to find a standard backup camera, so long as they're made after 2018.
