- 2016 Mazda6 i Touring
Hello!
My wife and I have a 2013 Mazda CX-5 Sport FWD. We bought it in November 2012 and it has been (and still is) a great vehicle. We are expecting our first child very soon, and I would like to see about having a backup camera installed in the CX-5. It has the optional Bluetooth radio that supports the camera. The equipment just isn't there since it is a base model. The only options our CX-5 is spec'ed with are the Bluetooth radio, roof rails, and the automatic transmission.
I'd feel better with a backup camera for when our son becomes a toddler. Just in case. I have heard horror stories of parents accidentally backing over children because they weren't able to see them behind the car. My car, a 2016 Mazda6, has a reverse camera and it has come in handy many times.
Is there a way to source the OEM backup camera equipment and have it installed? Or are there sensible aftermarket solutions that hook into the factory radio? Just looking for some advice.
I tried searching the forums and didn't find much.
Thank you in advance.
