#1 of 5 Rear Camera Issues by johnny__rf Dec 17, 2007 (4:23 pm)
A few days ago my rear camera appears to be dirtied from the slop on the roads here in New England. I tried inserting a wet paper towel in the opening where the camera is but it is still very smudged.   Is there supposed to be a protective lens over the hole for the camera or is that normal? If so, that is a poor design and I would like to know how to clean the camera.   Any suggestions? Replies to this message: johnny__rf (Dec 17, 2007 5:05 pm) caliche67 (Mar 27, 2008 5:56 pm)

Replying to: johnny__rf (Dec 17, 2007 5:05 pm) Pet Peeve with the camera; why does it only work while on reverse? I understand that you want to see what's behind you while backing up, but having the camera just for reverse is kind of a waste (one only drives in reverse probably less than 5% of the time and for very short periods, right?). It'd be great to have a button on the dashboard (what's one more button?) so one could flip into camera mode while driving (forward), just to see how close someone is tailgating you, or at a red light if someone is getting too close, or if you go over a bump or pothole. Just my personal opinion.
