Rear Camera Display technology is a hit with anyone who has ever needed to back up their vehicle, especially in tight quarters such as a parking lot. Subaru is now offering a Rear Camera Display option on the 2011 Outback. Not just any Rear Camera Display, we're talking state of the art RCD that displays on your rear-view mirror!
The RCD mirror is also equipped with a compass that utilizes proprietary Z-Nav® technology, a highly-accurate sensor that determines the vehicle's directional heading, and universal garage door opener as part of the popular Power Moonroof Package. Vehicles equipped with a navigation system feature the RCD mirror with compass and garage door opener.
The RCD Mirror contains a liquid crystal display (LCD) that works with a video camera mounted at the rear of the vehicle to provide a view directly behind the vehicle while backing up. When the vehicle is shifted into "reverse," a display appears automatically through the auto-dimming mirror's reflective surface. The display disappears when the vehicle is shifted into any other gear, a capability that is made possible utilizing "transflective" coating and lighting techniques, which result in a bright, high-resolution color image.
This is the second time Subaru has offered teh RCD mirror display, the first being in the 2010 Subaru Tribeca. Not a key feature, but given it's widespread acceptance as "awesome" by drivers accross the board, Subaru decided to grant this option to its popular Outback model for 2011. Gentex, the company behind the RCD technology is pleased with Subaru's decision and looks forward to providing automotive safety technology advances for the future.
