One of the biggest advantages of having an Astra K is its various technological advancements. In particular, it has an updated infotainment system, features for assisting drivers and connectivity options. This also makes it easier to retrofit technology, like reverse cameras, to improve your overall safety and driving experience.

Here at HmiRetrofits we love helping drivers make the most of their Vauxhall vehicles.

A reverse camera is one of those small additions which makes a massive difference. According to the UK Department for Transport (DfT), reversing is one of the most common times when vehicle accidents occur.

Did you know that statistics show that approximately one-fourth of all vehicle accidents occur while reversing? It’s especially common for newer drivers not confident with parking.

Having a reverse camera retrofitted is therefore an excellent investment for any driver. Reversing accidents can be particularly dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users, especially in busy cities or towns where space is limited.

Fortunately not all reversing accidents result in fatalities; however, they can still cause serious injuries to pedestrians, passengers and other motorists.

Our team at HmiRetrofits can supply and fully fit reverse cameras into the hatch of your car. This will only take around 1 hour to complete. Once the reverse is engaged the camera picture, it will appear on your main screen and then return to your previous screen once out of reverse.

If you’re considering having a reverse camera retro fitted to your Astra K, don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.
