Car monitors, reversing cameras and parking sensors

Updated 3 November 2026

Reversing cameras and parking sensors in New Zealand are listed from about NZ$36 for a basic 4.3-inch rear view system and from about NZ$90 for parking sensors with a display, while wireless 7-inch camera kits run from about NZ$229 to NZ$399. Describe your car and screen size on BlaBlaPrice, and sellers reply in the chat with their offers.

Rules and checks

The NZ Transport Agency describes the warrant of fitness (WoF) as a regular check that a vehicle meets required safety standards, so keep your WoF current after any work on the car. Driving-test guidance says a true reversing sensor must scan behind the car and warn the driver of an obstacle, and a rear cross traffic alert scans further to the side. Ask which of these features a kit has, because a camera alone does not warn you of objects you cannot see on the screen.

Season and night use

Summer from December to February has long daylight, but winter from June to August means shorter days, so an infrared night-vision camera is useful for dark car parks. Summer heat can also affect a dashboard screen, so mount it out of direct sun where you can.

What to put in the request

Give the car make, model and year, the screen size you want in inches, whether you need wired or wireless, sensors, a dash cam, and the cable length in metres, since some kits come with a 5.5 m cable. Give your city and budget in NZ$. Ask who fits the kit, because fitting is often a separate charge from the product price.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Its AI reads your request, asks for missing details and looks through car electronics listings in New Zealand, then shows the prices and sellers it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with price, terms and fitting, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. See Car stereos or Car audio & multimedia.
