Default Backup Camera Help Please!

Hi All,

Got my 2017 GS F Sport two months ago. Today i realized something seems strange with my backup camera. I can see a big portion of my license plate and the trunk. See attached picture. Is this normal? I don't remember it looking like that before and i did not mess with the camera. Please advise how to fix it.

thank you!
Joe

I'm pretty sure it is normal. I'll have to look on mine but, I think it gives you a better idea how close you are to an object.

I think what you are seeing is normal. Here are some shots from four (4) different GS 350s backup camera shots. They all (white, black, white & silver) show the dealer's license plates and bumpers.

I believe you can always bring it back to the dealership and have it readjusted if you want!

not quiet right... took apart the whole trunk for repaint job and did not find anything it might help you re-adjust camera.

Yeah, that's normal. Backup camera isn't much good if you can't see the bumper to know how close you actually are to stuff.
