Poor backup camera quality

anyone know of an upgrade for the backup camera? I’m not impressed with the clarity of it at all.. it’s a far cry crappier than the ones my previous Tacoma’s had.

Also, not sure why but I think it’s weord my 2018 offroad runner doesn’t have the little guide lines on the screen. My 2015 offroad Tacoma has them and have a much more clear camera..

That’s pretty much my only gripe with the runner- love it other than that (which is a pretty minor issue imo)

 

My 14 seems to be the same as my 15 tacoma was

 

Following, same opinion here.

 

I have the lines on mine. Does yours show up in the same screen as the navigation?

 

Hey scottalot maybe there’s something wrong or damaged in your camera software. I have a 2018 ORP and the camera is better than my 2015 Tacoma and it has the guide lines in it. Ask your dealer to check it out while it’s under warranty.

 

Is a bit odd. When I clean the crud off, it's clear as hell. I also have the lines. Different colors for closeness and all.
Adding the maestro unit, I now even have ones that bend, when i turn. Not OEM, but the parking width lines, and color warning was there with OEM gear, and was/is hella clear,.. when it dont have muck all over it. Which for me, can be common.

 

Yes it sure does

I’m thinking it may be damaged, definitely gonna talk to service

No idea why, I blame bad eyesight and fat fingers maybe my eyes are bad and not the camera lol

I have cleaned it and had no luck, it’s very hazy and there’s definitely no lines

 

Also, can ya move this to the 5th gen @4X4Runner ?

 

Is it only at night? Burned out backup light?

 

Nope- Ive got nothing just a plain reverse pic without lines

 

Update time for sure....... Hit the dealer mate. Lines and quality 4X4runner posted, is OEM goods for sure. Call, and set up an appointment broski. Getter taken care of.

 

Definitely gonna have the dealer take a look and get it fixed.. I’ll be dofor my first oil change in a couple months and add it the the list

 

Thanks. I wondered about that and thank you for checking into it

 

Just the run of the mill entune I presume

 

You must be getting old Scott

 

true story haha

 

Yeah maybe that is an option on the newer models. My 2016 has the lines.

 

My 2018 TRD ORP with Nav is just like this. Maybe it’s a faulty head unit

 

I’m going in for a new windshield, different topic, next weekend. Gonna get with them while I’m there to see if something’s wrong.

 

I’ll definitely update ya once I find out

 

Cleaned mine off today,.. took it for a worsh after doin some mud fun last night. Jesus, I didn't realize how decent it was, due to it being dirty 99% of the time.

 

That’s a really nice and clear view

 

Call me old school, but I always look the direction I'm driving. My back up camera can be posting images from mars and I would never know.

 

I’m a big fan of looking back too but I also use the camera. Love that thing for trying to get close to stuff or for lining up a trailer tongue
