So after a few spirited rides, I noticed my back up camera didn't come on in reverse. Its been a week now and its come on only a few times.

Any steps to follow to address this?

thx

My GS300 had this problem with the intermittent black screen when I shifted into reverse, and the research showed that it's most likely due to the camera going bad.

You'll probably consider aftermarket once you see the cost

Are there any goof aftermarket ones?

You could get it here... http://www.lexuspartsdirect.ca/produ...erm=8679053011

With the exchange rate it would still run you $316.45US, but even at that I would definitely be checking on a decent aftermarket. I think Rydeen make some nice cameras at an affordable rate

Just had a look at my Toyota Aurion ( camry) 2011, the camera look identical get a price from Toyota or the wreakers let us know how you go cheers.
Have a go at unplugging it and plugging back in could be a bad connection ??

Yes.

Remove trunk liner/trim and get access to tail light and license plate light plugs. You should be able to find the socket that powers the camera as well as the video line (not sure what color for the wire). Unplug, clean, re-plug, and try to reproduce the symptom.

If that doesn't work, good chance that you need to replace the camera. It is unlikely the source's fault in this case.

I had this same problem when I bought my car. Took it into the dealer 3 separate times and they couldn't figure it out so they ended up giving me a new head unit under warranty which somehow fixed the problem
