Rear Camera Adjustment - can it move?

Recommended Posts

I don't know if it's related or not, but this past weekend we were making a lot of donation trips and were in and out of the trunk all day long. Monday, I noticed that 1) i could see part of my bumper on the rear camera and 2) the cameral is clearly crooked because the on the display the bumper appears to go from about 3/4 inch to a quarter inch on the screen.

 

I never even noticed that the bumper was visible... I'm not saying it wasn't, but I'd be surprised that I would have not noticed that and more importantly, something out of whack. I'm just wondering if opening and closing the trunk a bunch jarred the camara. Either way, it needs to be adjusted. Is that doable?

 

PS - speaking of the trunk, does yours stay up? My wife got clunked on the head because it came down on her. I noticed that the tension to keep it up is very minimal. A slight incline even will cause to not stay up. Thoughts?

Mine shows the trunk, too. I had the same impression than you. I was also wondering if it was like that before.

 

And yes, I got hit in my head with the trunk a few times. It doesn't stay up!

The crooked part doesn't sound right, but I would think you'd WANT to see the bumper. As someone else said in another thread, it serves as a frame of reference. Without it how would you know how close your car actually is to something?

I don't know, I don't remember the bumper be shown and especially not crooked. I just judge distance by the indicators and the beeps. Is there a way to adjust the camera?

 

Thanks for the bulliten Airbusguy!

The dealer might have to make the adjustment. I think they'll have to take that trunk lid apart.

My 2010 FFH was the same way, And my 2013 FFH is the same. You can see part of the license plate and bumper. I like it this way because you can see almost straight down and allows you to backup close to walls, cars and such.

 

And you can see it's not even across, the reason being the lens is off center to the drivers side by two inches, I believe my 2010 FFH was dead center. I remember seeing the license plate even all the way across in the RV camera.

Mine is pretty much like that pic I guess. Just weird I never noticed it. I'll take a snapshot and post up just for comparison.
