Contemplating ticking the box when I am allowed to order a new car. Has anyone got the camera system and can report back if they are worth having on-road, off-road and towing? I wonder if they bring any advantages or are just another thing to go wrong.

On the current car not worth it (but helpful for offroading). On the L405 they are brilliant so go for it on that. *Gone* Discovery3 HSE

useful off road but you can use the venture cam to see where you are positioned so not sure I'd tick |

For those saying don't bother, have you seen the viewing angle on the L405. It really is very useful for blind junctions. Admittedly on our current car they are not really worth it, although i do use the cameras on the wing mirrors to guide me on the channel tunnel.

Came with our 2012 HSE and we used it once, when the dealer demonstrated its features. It is currently set on "rear camera" and I suspect will remain as such. 2012 Range Rover HSE LUX

After using bimmer surround cam, I had high expectation towards this cam system.
