How far can you see with the night vision. Can you spot a cop with it?!

Is it really worth the money?

Thanks

Those who have it will tell you how great it is to validate the decision to get it.

For me, it never even crossed my mind to spend money on it.

Im sure if I lived in foggy area frequented by zombies it would be worthwhile.

Zombie blood can be caustic on BMW paint and can etch if left to dry!

For those who don't understand, Zombies only come out in the fog.

Can you spot a cop with it? Generally if the cop is dead you won't. Granted, Zombies are dead but do have a distinct heat signiture. Dead people not Zombified have no heat signiture. You won't see poltergeists either despite movies showing other wise. Night vision will show live cops but not before he sees you.

I have the option and I don't know if you can see a cop sitting off the road but as far as your question on is it worth it, I would say not (at least not to me). When it is activated, you it projects on the I-Drive screen and you have to take your eyes off the road to continually check it. Assuming you are using it on a dark, relatively not well traveled road, that is something you really don't want to do. It has turned out to be an option that I never use and certainly wouldn't get again unless they figured out a way to project the image through the HUD.

In any event, I certainly would't get it if your primary purpose is to "see" cops at night.
