Backup Camera / Reverse Camera
Just recently, the backup camera on my IS250 has stopped working (the imagine does not show up)...but it does work 10% of the time. I say 10% because on some mornings, when I shift the car in reverse, the imagine appears without any flaw. But then driving it for a few minutes, I can put it back into reverse and the imagine on the Nav screen doesn't switch over. It just stays at the map screen.
Has anyone ever experienced this before? I hate to bring it in because I just hit the 50k mark and the warranty is up.

I would being it in asap... Since your warranty just expired they may do it. I've seen some dealers do service as a good will gesture, especially if you always go there for service.
Good luck!

Is there a way to hack the backup camera so that it always displays... Or do something like this guy did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvsM0...eature=related

There is a DIY on here for the Rear Cam hack! It is a lot more work than just hacking the nav to watch movies. You need to splice a lot more wires and relay switches and stuff. But it definitely looks cool!

Back up camera
I just purchased a "used" is 250 (2014). Is the back up camera supposed to beep when it gets close to an object? The camera shows a visual, but I found out the hard way that it does not beep.
