Backup Camera

[norcalIS350]

i have a 07 IS350 and when i have the backup camera initiated, in the top left hand corner, there is a pyramid shaped black area, very very tiny. is this normal? although it doesnt impede the camera vision and its very small, it still bothers me.

Did you clean the lense (on the trunk); if there is a little particle on it then it shows on the screen. Best way is to blow some air on it or gently wipe it with a dry rug.

i cleaned the lense thoroughly and its still there; i think the camera is off or something wrong with the lense. i'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow to check it out.

thanks

are you sure its not the edge of the car. Put it in reverse and have somebody walk behind you and point at the camera to pinpoint the area.

the lense is suppose to have that rounded fish ball look where everything is bigger in the middle. i think it might be catching the edge of the trunk lid.

if it is catching the edge of the trunk lid, does that mean the camera is off?

i took it to the dealer today and they told me theyve seen this problem before; theyre gonna order me a new camera and swap it in. pretty good customer service.

I took it to the dealership and they changed out the camera. still the same. still has the same dark corners in the upper left and right side. i dont know if its something wrong with the camera or if its catching the edge of the car. anyone have suggestions?

Sounds like it's seeing the edges of the boot lid. Sit in the car and get someone to put their hand/finger in these areas to see if you can pinpoint it. There may be nothing wrong with the camera, but at least this way you'll know.

i think its because the camera has a fishball lense angle and the screen is square so it doesnt get the whole picture. oh well. now i regret changing out the camera, shouldve stayed with the original.
