Hi Guys,
This is my very first post on this forum, though it comes very highly recommended from a number of different sources!
So... to get to my query....
I have a 2009 Kakadu which I absolutely love! One of my main issues is that the reverse camera is extremely cloudy/grainy. I've tried using lens restorer solutions/kits which helped a little - but not a great deal. I'm called Toyota and got quoted $390 just for the rear camera (I can remove and install myself), but jeez - $390 just for the small black camera??
I had a look on eBay, Gumtree and random Googling but the only options I've found are 3rd party camera options that have a different connector plug to the Genuine Toyota one so it will probably require allot of fiddling around. My current (genuine Toyota) camera has a round 4-pin plug but all the after market ones I've seen seem to have the generic RCA connections.
I've also tried calling various car wreckers to see if they have a camera I can buy but they won't sell the camera alone - they sell it with the whole rear end.
Does anyone have any advice, tips or pointers?
Thanks in advance,
Omar
