Backup Camera on 2013's poor quality??

[gameday22]

Hi all,

Just replaced my 2010 Genny with a 2013 and have noticed the camera seems to be of a lesser quality (or maybe it's the screen) than I had in my 2010. The image looks very muddied where as the older camera had a fairly clear picture even in the dark. Has anyone tried replacing it with something of a better quality?....thanks for the replies


I'm guessing that it's a proprietary camera and not as simple as finding one of the same size and replacing it, but thought it was worth asking.

I have a 2011, and the quality of the image is good - about the same that I've seen in other cars with backup cameras. Does the screen seem unclear when it's displaying anything other than the camera image (e.g., maps)? If so, it might be the display. If not, the camera lens could be at fault (either dirty or defective). Should be easy for your dealer to check in any case.

i have a 2013 rspec and mine is not that clear either. I havent looked at the lens, but i remember this from day 1

Make sure the dealer prep folks removed the protective stick-on plastic from the camera lens!
