It is not necessary to install a 360-degree surround view system. Here are the details about the 360-degree surround view system: Installation method of the 360-degree surround view system: First, drill a hole in the car, remove the entire door panel, install the front camera on a suitable grille or emblem at the front of the car, and mount the side cameras at the bottom of the left and right side mirrors. Then, connect the wiring. Although the 360-degree surround view system can be installed, the process is quite complex and the cost is not low. Impact of installing a 360-degree surround view system on the car: The installation process is generally invasive, requiring the removal of original car parts and connection to the car's original wiring. If the wiring is not properly installed, minor issues like electrical leakage may occur, while more severe cases could lead to safety hazards such as fire.
I think the 360-degree camera is quite useful for daily driving, especially for someone like me who often picks up and drops off kids. When parking on crowded roadside spots in residential areas, it provides an all-around view of the car's surroundings, preventing collisions with pedestrians or other vehicles, which gives me much more peace of mind. If you live in the city center and frequently park in shopping mall lots or roadside spaces, this system can significantly reduce the risk of scratches and minimize the hassle caused by minor accidents. While it's not a must-have, installing one greatly enhances driving confidence. I recommend finding a professional shop to install a compatible model.
