Did anyone get these options? Any reports? I am thinking of adding them to my Lib. Can anyone take a picture of their installed rearview monitor?

I have the backup sensors - they work as you would expect, and I find them fairly useful. I say "fairly" because I still look back anyway. So far they haven't detected anything I haven't - if anything though I find I tend to underestimate how much room I have (I think I have 1' of space, when I really have 3'), so these sensors are helping me that way.

However, I assume you're mostly interested about people with an aftermarket camera attachment; the backup sensors aren't all that new.

I was equally interested in both features . . . and i totally agree on underestimating how much room I have . . . which is why I was wondering. I still want to see a pic of the reverse camera installed.

You might want to check out Lockpick's site. I believe they have some pics of the backup camera, although not necessarily for the Liberty...

We had backup sensors on our Olds minivan and they were a nice helper when backing up. On our new 08 Grand Caravan though it has the backup camera integrated into the stereo which I find to be better as you actually see what is behind you. To add the "park assist" you just need to put the sensors into the rear bumper cover and run some wires..I think the kit is around $250 from MOPAR. Not sure how easily the back-up cam form MOPAR would be to install...our cam is integrated into the license plate surround. There are plenty of aftermarket cameras that would suffice.
