Elantra GD (2013+) :: Backup Camera Screen Is Black
I have a 2013 Elantra GT with 38k miles on it and when I put my car in reverse today, the backup camera screen turned black with the red/green/yellow gridlines instead of showing the camera video. The radio unit itself is fully functional (display, touch screen, channel tuning, etc.) so I'm wondering if the camera could be shot?

1. Can I change the angle of the backup camera?
2. Can I turn on the backup camera from inside the car (without putting it in reverse)?
When I pull the GS into the garage, I would use these features to ensure I leave room so the garage door doesn't scratch my bumper.
Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Backup Camera Display Distorted And Too Bright
Back in the spring my camera started intermittently not coming on, it was still under warranty so dealer replaced the camera. Three replacement cameras later and one radio later things are worse not better. the display now appears very distorted and overly bright- fluorescent. I'm so disappointed with the dealer and the fact that Hyundai uses refurbished parts. It's worse than the initial problem had been. What might be causing this other than bad equipment? My stress level over this is through the roof I paid a lot of money for the option pkg specifically for the back up camera. Hyundai made them replace the radio but that didn't fix it.
View 2 RepliesLexus GS 2013+ :: Start Up Messages Taking Top 20% Of Backup Camera Screen
The start up messages take way too long to clear, during which time they obscure the top section of the backup camera? I first get "phone connection successful..." followed by "transfer complete". Between the two messages, the top 15-20% of the backup camera screen is obscured. And it's really that top sliver of the screen that allows you to see more than 4 feet behind the car. I suppose I should just be more patient, but 10 seconds (I've timed it) is an eternity to wait after starting the car before you can start backing out.
So I just back out as if I don't have a camera using my mirrors and looking over my shoulder (which I did for my previous 30 years of driving before getting my GS so I guess it's not THAT big of a deal). I just find it really annoying to put a backup camera in the car and then obscure it with messages. It's interesting that Lexus feels it's important to tell me that my phone has been connected for a full 10 seconds. It would be more interesting to know if I was about to back up into something.
Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2013 FX4 - Backup Camera Doesn't Turn Off
Lately my backup camera doesn't turn off when I shift from Reverse to Drive, I have to put the truck in Park and then go to Drive to make it turn off. Is this a software update problem?
View 10 RepliesSanta Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Rear Camera Appears With No Guidelines
I've noticed that about every other time I put my SFS in reverse, the rear camera appears with no guidelines only to flash off after a few seconds and then come back on with the guidelines. Other times, it comes up right away with the guides.
What's causing this and is there any sort of fix for it?
Camry :: Mounting Backup Camera On LE?
My new head unit supports a backup camera, and wiring it in is no challenge.
What IS challenging me is where to mount the bugger, and where to pass the wire through to the trunk front the outside.
I dropped the trunk lid liner and did not see any grommets or pass-through spots for the cables. Do I need to drill a hole and silicone it, or is there something I am missing? If I have to drill, I guess I can do it under the chrome trim piece that holds the trunk lock keyway.

Is it possible to add a backup camera to a 2012 Camry LE and have it display on the display screen? I have read that many people have added backup cameras to their SEs or XLEs with navigation systems but I wasn't sure if it was possible on a basic LE with no nav. If it is possible to add a backup camera to an LE, which brands will work and where can you typically get them installed?
View 2 RepliesCamry :: Backup Camera Installation On 2005 LE
I just bought a 2 din DVD HU and will install a backup camera with it for my 2005 Camry LE.
A few questions:
1) what's the best way to run video cable from HU to trunk? Through side panel then under door molding or through center storage console then under the carpet?
2) what method do you recommend to tap into backup light for +12V to power the camera? Is there a breakout wire harness that I can buy, or splice the wire (then solder them together) or use a wire tap connector (never used these before, are they reliable and do they hold together a couple years)?
Lexus IS 2014+ :: Backup Camera Off Centered
I noticed that the backup camera on my IS is off centered. The distance shown between my car and the object behind it is fine. The sides are the problem!
When the 2 side lines on the screen suggest that I'm centered, I am actually closer to the left than the right side. I always turn my head when backing up anyway, but noticed this issue from day 1.
Touareg :: Backup Camera Failure / Just Does Not Activate
Just got my treg back from service. This is it's 10,000mi checkup. One of the issues I asked the dealer to investigate was a backup camera failure. One out of every 100 or so reverses, the camera just doesn't activate. No errors. Just no picture.They tried reverse more than 20 times but were unable to repro.

Passat (B7) :: Backup Camera Is Blurry / Recalibrating?
Having issue with their reverse camera being blurry? I saw an earlier thread but it didn't yield much info rather than go to the dealer, which I don't mind as I have a warranty but a DIY is always nice. Anyway, its blurry/out of focus as if my contacts were removed, the yellow lines are clean though. Any fix or way to re-calibrate the camera?
View 8 RepliesElantra MD (2010-15) :: Backup Camera Not Turning On
So I bought my car less than a month ago and it has less than 900 miles. The LED in my left front headlight shorted out all the lights on the left side of the car and fried the cabin fuse box apparently. I took it to Hyundai Monday and they had it until today (Friday).
They replaced the cabin fuse box and the whole headlight assembly. They hand me the key FOB and say here you go all set. I get into the car and go to reverse out of the spot and the camera doesn't even try to come on. Its not switching to a blank screen.. just stays on the radio.
The tech at Hyundai didn't have a clue how to fix it and I'm not leaving my car there over the weekend.
Having issue with their rear view camera not even turning on? I see a lot about blue screens, snowy pictures, ect. but that's not what I'm experiencing. I've hit the reset button on the head unit but that isn't working. Is there a way to do a hard reset on everything?
Prius (2010-12) :: Backup Camera Won't Aim Correctly?
My backup camera seems to have all of a sudden lost its aim such that the alignment marker is higher on the right than it is on the left meaning that the edge of the bumper is higher on the right as well. It just happened all of a sudden and seems to be pointed a little to the left. Any way to adjust it or is this one for the 5K mile checkup?
