Back up camera question

[SoCalRspec]

I have a 2013 RSpec sedan. Sometimes when I go into reverse the video of the backup camera will be scrambled . Has anybody else experienced this?

Describe "scrambled". Do you have a pic of this?

I've never experienced anything that seemed to be a technical issue with my back up camera, I have noticed depending on the weather, even when not dirty, it does fog up sometimes.

I cannot recreate the problem right now, but the screen will have a broken up picture that cuts in and out. If I take the car out of reverse and then go back into reverse, the image will return to normal. This is an intermittent problem that occurs every once and a while.

Pixelation occurs with a weak signal. If you can find the connections I'd check for corrosion starting at the camera since it the most exposed.

In my 2011 4.6 I tend to get a scrambled signal from the back up camera on occasion when it has had a heavy rain. A day later and it is good again. Likely a damp / poor connection at the camera in the trunk. But I haven't found a solution for it yet. Sorry.

Thanks guys!

I have the same problem from time to time. But I also get nothing from time to time also. I suspect I have a connection somewhere with some moisture in it. Just been to lazy to take apart the trunk lid trim to get to all of it.

I suspect getting in there an cleaning up the connectors and maybe a bit of dielectric grease would clear up the problem.

I get the same problem but mainly in the summer, heat seems to cause a bad connection somewhere. Once I had a large package in the trunk that was pressing on the trunk lid and the video went completely, so I think its in the trunk lid somewhere but like others just lazy.

Hyundai back up camera are garbage. I have four friends with Hyundai cars and we all have a black screen when back up. The dealer ship told me that they have about ten call a week with camera problems. so I purchased a camera from eBay and it works find. dealer wanted to charge me $1500 for the camera plus install. CRAZY.

Can you provide a model # etc of your backup camera? During the summer and high humidity I get the black or pixelated screen....

So far, the BuC (Backup Camera) in my '12 has never given me a problem.....

I've got a '13 rspec as well and I also have this problem. In other situations, the back up camera shows up, but without the colored line guidance. After a moment or two it comes back.

I noticed when I go to the car wash, there is always a lot of excess water trapped in the trunk. I'm starting to think that water is getting into the trunk and messing with the camera, but that's just a random guess.

It has happened twice with my 2012 3.8L tech package and one time I just hit the trunk where the emblem is and fixed it lol but Also recently my XM radio went out so I ordered a new Shark Fin and when I took off the old one there was a lot of corrosion near the navigation and XM which ruined the circuit board. Since I live in SoCal it doesn’t rain but I wash my car myself a lot so now I’m careful around shooting water near or directly at the Shark Fin

It seems everyone that has bought a backup camera from ebay or anywhere else are ALL unable to reply what model they purchased for the one's that really need that help

I replaced my backup, license plate and trunk lights with LEDs and when I did, I took off the trunk lid carpet. I saw a few connections and unhooked them all, sprayed with electronic cleaner/lube/protector and reconnected.
Every since then (6 months ago) my backup camera issues are 100% gone. Maybe I was lucky or may have something to do with it???
either way, worth a try

I spoke too soon. The other night after a day of rain (high humidity) we got in the car after dark and the back up screen was scrambled. I shut it down and restarted everything and it smoothed out OK.

I did this as well (2010 3.8L) even though I noticed no corrosion of any sorts. But apparently a bath and some lubrication made the connections happy. I've had no scrambling of my camera signal which, in the past, was 90% of the time in the heat and humidity of summer.
