2 Answers
Oshan X5 base model can be equipped with a rearview camera. Below is detailed information about automotive rearview cameras: 1. Overview: An automotive rearview camera is a vehicle system characterized by its intuitiveness and clarity, providing significant convenience for drivers. It enables real-time monitoring of the surroundings on both sides and the rear of the vehicle through an in-car display, helping to prevent accidents and theft. 2. Additional Information: A wide-angle far-infrared camera device is installed at the rear of the vehicle, allowing clear visibility of obstacles behind the car via the in-car display. Even at night, the infrared feature ensures clear visibility.
I'm the owner of a base model Oshan X5. After driving it for a while, I felt the visibility when reversing was a bit poor, so I decided to try adding a reversing camera. The whole process wasn't too complicated. I went to an auto repair shop and bought an aftermarket camera kit, which was installed directly above the license plate and connected to a small screen on the rearview mirror. The installation took about two hours, mainly because wiring was a bit troublesome—it had to be routed from the trunk to the driver's seat. Now, when reversing, the screen directly displays the rear view, so I no longer worry about scraping against curbs or obstacles. The total cost was around 500 yuan, including parts and service fees. I think this upgrade is totally worth it, especially for beginners or those who often drive in tight spaces—it significantly improves safety. If the budget allows, I’d recommend going for OEM parts right away, but aftermarket ones are also sufficient.
