camera location
has anyone noticed the way the rear view camera is mounted. its at a awkward position which ruins visability especially when its dirty or wet. i have owned many cars with rear view cameras but never faced this issue anyone else having problems with this.

This is my first car with a rear view mounted camera - so nothing to compare against. But yes, did notice that it is rarely 'clean'.

My visibility issues are also mostly in the rain - I thought that's what the Op was referring to.

Yeah, the camera on the Hyundai is cool - and is supposedly self-cleaning too. That being said, I'm always skeptical of moving parts that don't need to move. My wife's EX has a recall on the steering column mechanism since the regular lifting/lowering when you turn the car on and off wears the motor out much quicker.

The vertical rearmost surfaces of a vehicle will tend to collect more dirt due to the air turbulence created by the transition to that surface. This is why hatchback-style vehicles come equipped with rear window wipers. I consider this problem to be common among most vehicles with conventionally-mounted rear view cameras. Some vehicles, such as the Nissan Altima, incorporate a cleaning system to mitigate this.
