So this just started this morning. i put it in reverse, backup cam worked fine. when i go to put it in reverse again parking at work the screen goes solid blue. the steering wheel lines still show up and move when i turn the steering wheel, but nothing from the camera. i tried turning it off and on again. any ideas? did the camera go bad?

Sounds like a camera issue to me too. If the display is working that's really all it can be. I would open up the trunk liner and make sure everything is connected, then replace the camera and maybe the harness too since that's what Infiniti says to do.

Camera - 28442-1MA0C
Harness - 24015-1MA4A

I just searched these part numbers. Ouch. :frown: If this is not covered by a warranty you might start looking for a dismantler that can get you a used one.

Thats what i was afraid of. how could a little camera be so damn expensive?? I may look for aftermarket replacements as well

Have you tried going into the diagnostic menu and into the camera adjustment screen?

Maybe something would reset.....

this happened to me about 4 months ago was showing what looked like a loose connection screen(no picture fuzzy static) but the next day everything worked fine and nothing has happened since
