2012 460 backup camera

[TCEd]

I don't understand the backup camera in the vehicle. All I see is the rear image but no grid lines or audible beep when getting near an object

IIRC the 2010-2013 don't have the guide lines. Think it was CL where there was a long thread on it been awhile since I read it and didn't go through the whole thing.

I've had a Garmin backup camera for my Nuvi for many years, I spend a lot of time where there is no cell phone reception so still use a Garmin GPS often. When I bought the GX took the camera off the Taco and put it and the Nuvi on the GX. I have a 19 Lux with front and side (passenger) cameras and guidelines on the rear camera. I run both factory camera and Garmin at the same time.

Best thing I did for the backup camera is replace the reverse lights with Diode Dynamics bulbs, spendy but a huge difference and don't worry about Chinese electronics screwing up anything.

I believe the audio beep when reversing is from the sensors in the Driver Assist Package. Just got back from 2 weeks on the North Shore of Lake Superior hunting grouse and running tight trails. First thing I do when I get there is turn off the driver assist stuff, otherwise it would constantly be going off from the trees and brush I am busting through. But yes it is nice to have when in town when backing up and and someone goes screaming by behind you.

I too have a pre 2014 with no backup camera lines to align with when backing into something.
BUT, there is a fix, kind of... If you set your outside left/right rearview mirror adjustment toggle, to either left or right, your outside rearview mirrors will automatically tip downward when you go in reverse, giving a good clear view of a curb, parking lines, etc. when backing up. I use it in tight spaces when I want to be backing up right in the center of a parking space.
Yeah, it's not the same as the lines in the very rear, but the sensors work great for me. I can get withing about 1 or 2 inches of an object before the "ding-ding" gets mad at me and goes all red. The only issue I ever have with the sensors is in the rain. The front ones will sometimes get something on them, a leaf, mud, etc. and every time I come to a stop light or a stop, the parking sensors start dinging. Then I just turn it off via the steering wheel control, and try to remember to turn them back on later.

Yes I use the mirror down in reverse function.
