It still beeps when in reverse and it detects someone behind. I just hope the guy doesn't change his story when he talks to his insurance. To ME, he said "Im so sorry, that was my fault, I didn't see you".
For my side of the story I did have it in reverse to activate the camera, a car went by (beep beep), after that it looked clear, but I pull out about a foot and stop to make sure (hard to see in a busy grocery store lot). I do that and stop, then I hear beep beep again and see this guy from catercorner space behind me in a CRV backing up and he's not stopping! I wanted to throw it into drive and pull forward but there just was not enough time. He has no damage because his rear tire hit the car. I wasn't moving and he was, and I guess they say the car that's not moving gets the most damage.
No one was hurt. It made more noise than anything.
I know these things are fixable, but the whole situation just stinks. I have this car for a month, now I have to deal with this inconvenience. A stone already cracked my windshield a week into ownership and I had a new windshield installed from Safelite for my $100 comprehensive deducatable. My collision deductible is $500 so hopefully the guy doesn't change his story because then its driver vs. driver, who knows what happens. My local body shop is a friend of the family so they usually work pretty hard to keep the costs down to where the insurance check covers most of it, if not all of it so if the guy does change his story I may not have the full $500 to pay.
