so i was thinking if it would be practical/easily set up to have a camera placed just behind the front grill somewhere, probably with like a wide angle lense to get as best a range as anything..
thought of the idea earlier when i pulled up into a park that had a high gutter that i would of deffinetly hit if i crept foward too far.
i know you can get front braking sensers that work like reverse sensors, so i assume getting the camera/screen to turn on when braking would be possible.. or maybe just a switch/button when u notice its a high guttering infront..
front brake sensors i think are a good idea, but i assume getting them in the right spot to not get false 'beeps' would be tough, and a higher gutter may not register with them, or normal gutters maye give a false reading??
but yeah, what do people think? stupid idea? i know it might not be helpfull all the time, but if it was inexpensive, would be usefull now and then..

It's a good idea if you really want to max out the parking space before hitting anything, but you may just have to turn on the camera manually as needed. Do you have an integrated screen for it?

Great Idea...thought of it a few times. Especially in shopping ctrs with really high stopping bollards that you cant really tell if your going to clear them especially when the vehicle is lowered. Seperate non- latching switch should do the job. Maybe on the small flat panel in front of the centre console...its close to reach down with your finger...simply hold it on when you creep forward and realease when you have parked and it switchs off.
