@artsci has said that he has tried unsuccessfully. That's why they built the board. I semi-successfully hooked up two cameras (one to the rear of my trailer) but manually plugged/unplugged them. And it was only semi-successful because the camera signal is very unreliable. It seems to work in the mornings when it's cool, but never again for the rest of the day. I'm going to bail on that project and replace it with a wireless RV camera. Disappointed, but it was a fun project so no worries.Probably a very stupid question but is there anyway to make a manual switch to have two cameras hooked up

I think if the cable run could be shorter, it might work. But the cable options are limited and I have a good 10’ of extra run. It is really great when it works.. but this is too important for flaky ohmman project quality.Are you going to point a Tesla camera at the RV cameras screen so that it still displays on the MCU?
BTW: I really liked your idea of extending the camera to the back of the trailer...

How Hard was it to get to the camera plug I was thinking of doing the same thing I basically just want to camera for the third row that way you can see my kids@artsci has said that he has tried unsuccessfully.

Lol me eitherNo offense intended, but I don't want to see your kids in the third row.
!Sorry to revive an old thread but Costa Mesa wants over $400 for the camera! Is there any SC that still sells it for $78?
Must be. They wanted $395 plus tax and I said "Oh I just need the part, not installation", He said that is just the part. Installation is another $150.!
A misquote or Elon's latest price adjustments in search of profitability? Tesla used to charge stratospheric prices for parts, but lowered them to reasonable (for $100K car) prices back in 2016 IIRC. Are they back up now?
Wrong part number. If I have been reading this thread correctly, that camera has the older (non-protruding) lens and is lower res than PN 1061269-00-C. I'm pretty sure that's the part already in my car and it's far inferior to the newer cameras on the loaners I've driven.
Thanks, I did see that listing but the seller only has 5 reviews... Bit nervous but I suppose they do offer buyer protection. OK maybe I'll take the plunge.
Do you have any tips to share. I have a new camera sitting around waiting to be installed. Can’t seem to get the trim off the car.Just a follow up - the camera I got from eBay worked perfectly. It said used but I could hardly tell. Install was a PITA but I had some help and it was totally worth it.
It's not easy. We found it easier to remove the trim from the inside of the trunk which gave us better access to the connector and the tabs for the chrome applique. The way we did it (and maybe there are better ways but this is what worked) was to remove all the screws from the applique trim and remove the interior plastic trim from the hatch (make sure you pop out the grab handle plastic as well otherwise the trim wont come off). This allows you to disconnect the camera. Heat the chrome applique on both sides near the lights and take some fishing line to detatch the 3M tape that's holding it down. No you can pry off the chrome and the mounting plastic in one piece. We found it easier to push the tabs from inside the hatch than pull on the chrome itself. Remove the old camera, plus in the new one and put everything back together.Do you have any tips to share. I have a new camera sitting around waiting to be installed.
