Reversing camera on 2004 prius

this is most likely going to need a trip to the dealer.

how did you clean the lens?
you can go to umm vehicle signal check screen and make sure rev is on and off
when you put it in reverse
also you can make sure that the reverse lights are working
and also verify that the gauge fuse is ok



the repair manual is not much help unless you have access to an oscilloscope then you can nail it down to either the multi display, rear view harness or rear view camera


Notes for the rear view monitor.
(1) The rear view monitor may not function properly
if subjected to a severe impact by any hard
object.
(2) Do not "scrub" the lens of the camera because it
is made of resin. Scrubbing it may scratch the
cover and affect the image. Prevent organic
solvents, waxes, bond removing solvents, or
glass coating from adhering to the cover. If
anything adheres to the cover, clean it off
immediately and wash the lens with water.
(3) Exposing the camera to a sudden temperature
change may affect proper functioning of the
camera.
(4) A clear image may not appear if the camera is
dirty with snow, mud, etc. In that case, wash it
with water and wipe off the lens. Use a detergent
to remove dirt if necessary.

 

i wonder how much toyota wants for a new camera and how easy or how hard it is to replace it

 

Sigma Automotive has a JDM camera for $299.

 

Do not buy such crap things! I don't know why all people talk about that camera, it looks like a gipsy work.

Buy an original one from a Prius salvage, I've found it even with 150USD for my car.. a real bargain!:rockon:
