Default ************rear camera problems?************

Has anyone been having problems with the rear camera not engaging or not showing a picture at times when the car is put in reverse?

When I took my truck in to Lexus to complain about the rear view camera, the Service Guy said, "yea, they're going out". My truck is exactly 3 years old.

Mine shows only a black screen with the warning message. I am just out of warranty. $750 to get replaced? No thank you. Aftermarket stuff can be had for like $150.

Anybody have a solution for a cheaper replacement?

Gene.....

That's bad news about being out of warranty. Makes the purchase of an extended warranty much more attractive.
