Default Backup Camera

Just wondering if anyone has successfully removed the Backup Camera Lens to clean the inner portion of the lens.
I cleaned the outer portion of the Lens with Professional Photographic Camera Lens Cleaner yet the display shows as soft focus, as if there is moisture in the inner portion of the Backup Camera Lens.
Included a photo:

It would probably be a lot easier to find a replacement.

At $337. & up for an OEM replacement, easier said than done. In spring I will have 2 options as it's too cold to do anything now.
The first would be to see if the moisture disappears with the warmer weather & check to see if it's the camera model with 2 screws in front to take it apart to clean & seal.
As I refurbish classic film cameras I doubt I will be feeling too nauseous from stress taking it apart. If it's (I am assuming) a more recent model camera where the item is sealed as one piece
you have to wonder how moisture got in there.
The second option would be an aftermarket camera ($26.) which fits, but Lexus have there own design for connections therefore would need some help to figure out the
wiring when the time comes.

Has anyone tried to install a aftermarket backup camera with this;
http://www.beatsonicusa.com/beat-son...r-harness.html
there is no mention for which Lexus models, years or part numbers for the Navigation system, only E7001, E7003, E7005, E7006, E7007 OEM Option Navigation Equipped models, which I couldn't find any reference information to be sure the adapter will function with a RX330.
