Default Reverse view camera location

Where is the camera for the back-up screen located? Occasionally we have gotten splashed and when I put the car in reverse, it is very difficult to see because the splashes are obscuring the view. If I knew the location of the camera, I could try to clean it.

By the way, had my first opportunity to drive our 450h In the snow. The snow was coming down hard, it was night time, back roads in New England, taking our daughter back to boarding school. The roads were very dark, not yet plowed. I was so focused on seeing the road ahead that I didn't even notice how steady the car had been (no skidding or 'fish-tailing') until we got back to our hotel. Before we bought the Lexus one year ago, we had a Camry, great car but had I been driving that we would surely have been skidding like mad. We love this car.

Glad you are liking your new RX.

The camera is mounted on the underside of the chrome strip on the lift gate, above and to the right of your license plate. Here's mine (so dirty!):

Consider using a bit of Rain-X glass treatment on the lens. Keeps it a bit cleaner longer. I use it on the headlight/foglight lenses, rear view mirrors faces as well.
