2014 Volvo S80 needs windshield replacement, how can I tell if car has a backup camera? Will the glass repair know if car needs recalibration? Volvo does have automatic windshield wipers sensored to rain.

If the car has a back up camera it should show up on the windshield when the car is in reverse.

When car is in reverse the rear view mirrors drop down to show anything on ground while backing up. Is this camera?

It doesn't sounds like it, if you don't see a screen or projection your car is not quipped with a camera

I'm sorry, I don't know what a screen or projection is. I'm still trying to learn my car.

DIFFERENT GUY

PROJECTION-SORTA LIKE A DRIVE IN MOVIE

THE INSIDE OF YOUR WINDSHIELD BEING THE SCREEN

IF YOUR CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH THAT OPTION, WHILE IN "REVERSE", LOOKING AT YOUR WINDSHIELD IT WOULD SHOW YOU WHAT IS BEHIND YOU (AS WELL AS WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU!)

MY WIFE RECENTLY JUST LISTENED FOR THE CRUNCH SOUND IN A PARKING LOT!

THESE SOUND LIKE "GLASS GUY" QUESTIONS, GET IT IN WRITING THAT EVERYTHING WILL STILL WONDERFUL/ HIS RESPONSIBILITIES WHEN HE GETS DONE.
