First, let me be clear...I own an '06 TL which does not come with the factory cameras of the updated TL's (07 and 08). I have Dom's navigation unit hacked into my system and a camera (Wendy's) from ebay.

Recently, whenever I put my car in reverse, the image would appear on the screen and then fade to white or black ... or it would appear white and then slowly fade on. Other times, it just would not show at all.

Is it just the camera going bad or could it be the convertor? I leaning more towards the camera. Any help would be great.

 

it is a known problem with wendy's camera. the harsh shaking from when you open the trunk and close it causes it. If you want to be sure that it's wendy's camera, connect the video to a tv and switch the car to reverse to activate the camera, then you can make sure it's not doms unit.

 

Thanks. I guess it's time to order another camera.

 

I had the same issue. Here is the replacement camera I bought......love it soo far

How well does it work? I don't really like license plate cameras. It is sturdy? Does it show a good, clear picture?
