I wave back big time and smile and say Thank you Sir!See what’s behind your vehicle with a BC 40 wireless backup camera. I think the LEO's respect the car and admire the car so much they either dont notice the no front plate or they just let it go.Īll I get from LEO's here in Washington State when I drive by them are thumbs up and waves. With Ferrari's, my Cali T is my 3rd Ferrari. My basic rule in life - treat others how you want to be treated yourself and life will be very good to you. They are human beings like us, everyone wants to be treated with respect. Remain respectful, friendly and compliant and chances are you too will only get a warning. If you get pulled over by LEO, do what I do above. They issued me just warnings with no fines nor ticket. I apologized for not having a front plate and I told the LEO I will order the front plate bracket and will install the plate once the bracket arrives.


I remained very respectful, compliant and friendly to the LEO. I had a few BMW M Cars (M5, M6 Coupe, M6 Cabrio, M4) before I purchased my 1st Ferrari.Īll my BMW's had no front plate and I was pulled over twice for no front plate.

Im now testing and trying different front parking cameras and will provide updates as things develops. Qustions is how long can you wait in the name of safety and vehicle damage. I’m sure there will be new ones coming in the market soon. Those are the only 2 rear parking cameras I can currently recommend. I paid $400 for mine 3 years ago from Crutchfield: However, they still make their back up cameras and its much cheaper now. Note: Pearl went out of business >2 year ago as their payroll I heard was too large. I have the Pearl camera on my wife’s BMW that I purchased 3 years ago for her and it still works great so I just moved it to my Cali T as my wife never uses it. I use my old Samsung S7 as dedicated monitor I placed in center console. Same as above, completely plug and play and stand alone. Cons is you will have to change camera battery every 3 months or so. So for $300 you can have back up camera completely stand alone & plug and play. Note that I have no business affiliation to any of them.īC40 camera, ($140), Garmin Drivesmart 55 or 65 ($150) for dedicated monitor & GPS. I have now tried several and I thought I’d share my findings. The usual for most of us, we want the easiest to install, cost effective, very good quality, reliable, we don’t want to tear the car apart, do it ourselves as no one can be more careful and do a better job than us owners. Reason 2: I scraped my front bumper already (ugh) on those darn parking cement stops, so it’s time to install also a front view camera. Last thing I want is to damage the rear of my car or worse yet God forbid injure someone like a little child as I didn’t see him behind me while I’m backing up. Why the need for parking cameras? Difficult to see while backing up. Hardwired parking cameras and integrated to the factory stereo is the best way, but its very expensive and very intrusive, too much work. I installed parking cameras on my 360 and F430. My 2016 Cali T had all the factory options I want except parking cameras. (sorry for the above, all based on lessons learned.) Now that we got that out of the way………………. If this info helps you a simple thanks goes a long way.
