antimony Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 One of the biggest thing that I will miss when I upgrade from my current car (2018 Buick Enclave - a fantastic car, much better value for money than the Cadillac XT-5) to the 2023 Aviator GT (just ordered), is the wonderful rearview mirror camera option. I will probably go for a clip on aftermarket option. Question: Do you guys use anything like this, and if yes what are your recommendations?

akirby Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Huh? You’ll have a much bigger rear camera view on the infotainment screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you cannot use that to drive. In my Buick I always have the rearview camera mirror on. In a large vehicle like the Enclave (and like the Aviator) that definitely helps. In fact I even have an aftermarket version installed in our Tesla but it really does not work as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been driving this car for 4 years, including a few months last summer when I had to turn it off since I was carrying one of those bike racks in the back. For me it is now a must have. Since I cannot get it as part of the original equipment I will be getting one of those Amazon after market parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Whatever makes you happy. Still doesn’t make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love to go mountains to ride my bike. I used to go there every weekend before I got a new job in the town. Why did I decide to get a bike rack on my Odyssey? Btw, found a good review of them here. A bike rack allows you to move and carry your bike securely from one location to another. The sort of bicycle rack you need will be determined by the type of vehicle you drive. A hitch-mount kind of rack would be great for vehicles such as minivans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
