Pyxis Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 It seems my rear parking aid camera has bitten the bullet, as it started going a bit foggy a few weeks ago, probably due to the very wet weather. Then it started flickering and now the screen is just black when shifting into reverse. I assume it’s a like for like swap, but I’m having real trouble locating a replacement camera in the UK. Has anyone experienced this before and any ideas of where to seek a replacement? Many thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Installed my own but eBay has many options for aftermarket - not sure what yours looks like but is that a possiblity - start at £6.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyxis Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yeah there’s load of aftermarket ones but I assume this needs to be a direct replacement to fit the exact mounting where the factory-installed one sits. A like for like replacement would perfect but I’ve only found a couple of used ones on eBay and they’re looking at £100-£150+ with no guarantee that they will last. Just to confirm this is the factory fitted Subaru (possibly Clarion make?) rear camera that’s broken. My Legacy is a 2012 tourer boxer diesel.

Jay762 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I think you may be able to get an after market replacement for that unit, have a look behind the panel in the boot and see what the leads are like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyxis Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Yes I definitely will be doing, it’ll be a weekend job though when time permits! I think if you look closely there’s moisture on the inner of the lens so I’m thinking the damp or water has got to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Yes I believe you are right, this is an aftermarket one I fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
