Car monitors, reversing cameras & parking sensors

Car monitors, reversing cameras and parking sensors in Australia

Updated 5 November 2026

A reversing camera with a monitor in Australia costs from about A$29 for a mirror kit to around A$490 for a 360-degree quad-view system. Most 4.3-inch and 7-inch monitor kits sell for between A$45 and A$310. For the price of the model that fits your car, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Local rules for new and older cars

Reversing aids are now mandatory on new light vehicles: the National Road Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 108/00) covers reversing technology for vehicles newly introduced in Australia, and it applies to models sold from 1 November 2025. Older cars were not required to have them, so an aftermarket kit is the usual way to add a camera. Reversing sensors do not give the same view as a camera, which is worth telling the seller if you want a camera.

Under the Australian Consumer Law, a buyer can ask for repair, replacement, refund or cancellation if a product has a fault. Some sellers add an Australian warranty on their kits, so ask for its length and how a claim works before you buy.

Season and vehicle type

Summer runs from December to February, when the sun is strongest, so check that the screen is readable in glare. If you want a solar-powered camera, make sure your car's usual parking spot gets enough sun. Trucks and caravans have their own kits, often listed as truck or caravan models, so say which vehicle you have. Caravan kits are often bought before long trips, so ask about fitting time early.

What to put in your request

Give the car make, model and year, whether you need a monitor, a mirror or a wireless kit, the screen size in inches, and whether you also want parking sensors. Add your city and budget. Ask whether the kit suits your car's reversing light wiring, whether fitting is included in the price, and what warranty applies, written down.

Free for buyers. Describe the car and what you want in your own words, and add a photo of the dashboard or the spot where the screen would go.
