I love my reversing camera and Fresnel lens in my van. Visibility max. The rear windows look nice and tinted already which is a bonus.
Edit: Consider a front/rear dash cam while you've got the auto-elec opening things up. Viofo A129 duo pro is nice and cheap.
The windows at the back are so darkly tinted it does restrict the visibility in the rear vision mirror a bit. It has nice big side mirrors though, it's just going to take a bit of getting used to knowing where to look.
I don't have a reversing camera or sensors in my current car, but I absolutely love them. I used my sister's new car for an activity where I had to park in some very tight parking spots in the middle of the night and it made it so easy. The Caddy has the sensors already and it doesn't sound too complicated for them to add the camera into the current system - the one I was origionally going to look at already had one added, which was a big part of the reason it was first on the list to look at.
