    Default reverse camera text

    For those of us that have the reverse camera installed, where on the screen is your text warning you to look at your surroundings?

    Mine is towards the top which I find sits right on the horizon line thus blocking my view.

    I got into an SS wagon the other day and noticed the text was at the bottom which I preferred.

    Just wondering if this is a model specific thing, or if it can be changed?

    I can't say i know if they're different through the models but i will say that sounds like a stupid place to have it. The G6e has it down the bottom where the bumper view is right away out the way of the screen that is visible.

    Take it up with Holden. Look if enough people complain they might change it or they might have already?. Also it could be something as little as a software update?, Holden might have it now?.

    I wonder why that would be the case? It's more annoying now that I know we're not all the same :P

    Agree, it's in the worst spot! Maybe it can be changed considering the above posts saying they have theirs down the bottom of the screen.

    Anyone from Holden here that knows if it can be changed?

    Is this it?

    My sedan has it at the top, but it doesn't get in the way, the text sits above the line of view I see.

    I wonder if you can angle the camera up slightly? I can only just see my bumper in mine at the bottom, never found an issue

    The Sportwagon I believe has the camera as standard where as the sedan it's optional.. Just something I've noticed.

    SV6 Sedan, at the top—personally, I'd just like it gone! Or why can't it just come for a second and then disappear?
