Integrated Parking Monitor

Hi All

Is the integrated parking monitor standard on a 2014 advance model ?

keep seeing this in adverts.

thanks

I have one and yes its standard on the Advance model. The centre screen shows which side of the car is close to an object and is complimented by audible beeps which get progressively closer until you approach an insurance claim then the beep changes to solid and screen shows a red line at the relevant corner. Works well. The Advance made the most sense to me spec wise for the money. What you may not know if you haven't driven one is the lack of blind spots compared with a lot of modern shapes these days.

thanks for that

is the monitor in the rear view mirror or the dash board screen ?

The centre screen shows a top down graphic outline of the car and which end is close to an object. There is no reversing camera on the advance which I don't care about anyway. I do wish it auto dipped the wing mirrors in reverse but I can live with that.

Slightly off topic, but I thought that a reversing camera was a waste of cash, but it came with the Premium Nav pack. It's the one feature that I would now never do without - I honestly hate driving our other cars without it.

Absolutely agree - the camera is very useful - important to remember to keep it clean especially at this time of year
