Better backup camera with OE nav? Camera from other lexus?
Hello,
I am a new owner of an 04 LS430. Is there a way to keep the stock nav display and only change the factory backup camera to improve the quality? (I am assuming the factory rear camera is the bottleneck here and not strictly the screen).
Will the factory camera from other relatively newer Lexus models from say 07/08/09 ES/GX/LS that will fit plug and play on the 04-06 LS430?
Thanks.

I don't have an answer about what cameras could work with the LS430, however I don't think a different camera will help since the LS430 screen is very low resolution, 400 x 240 to be exact. That is even lower than old school tube TVs from the 70s and 80s. So even if you find a higher resolution camera, the screen can't show a higher resolution image because it just doesn't enough pixels.

Even now in new Lexi the larger screens have better resolution than the base level screen and the
back up camera image is noticeably different. The optional panorama 4 camera view requires the
larger and clearer screen.
