Reverse cam is just so bad
 

I've had my e70 (4.8i sport, 2009) well over 3 months now and without a doubt, I love it.
But that reverse cam... Just so bad. My friend's Hyundai has a way clearer cam.

Anyone here managed to get a better cam installed? Is there a way to get it done as a "DIY " thing?

Pardon me if this issue has been spoken of earlier, but I couldn't go through all the threads here regarding the reverse cam.

Cheers

I was looking into it and so far no progress. When I have some time I want to take it off and see if there's some possibility to swap just camera in that unit. Will see...

I have an eBay one that cost $20+ and it's pretty good...

Did you replace your existing one or just install that eBay one?

I DIY'ed by cleaning the lens and re-tweaking the brightness and contrast. Better to want (and care for) what you have than have whatever you want. IOW don't fix what ain't broke lest you fix until broke.

I don't find it too bad, in daytime it does the job of showing you where to go but at night it is rubbish, I put on some LED licence plate lights which did help a little bit when it's dark out, link to a thread I mentioned it in.

Right words :)

But still, everybody wants something better from what they have, like NBT over CIC :)

I just installed one in one of the license plate light slots. I will be changing it to the hatch handle version soon (I just received it).

I'm going for the led lights tomorrow ... I just thought the cam could be replaced with a better one.
I'm looking into the Alpine topview mod ... Seems pretty good!

You mean, in his 2008 Hyunday, right :D
