Great idea by a pref
Rainx the lens then press the washer function.
Terrific idea. I've been cleaning manually - as a previous poster said - just a quick swipe with a cloth or even finger. The rainx makes it very easy to keep clean - highly recommended.

I was looking for something round :). Front one !! Didn't know there was one.

The rear camera is located in the top centre of the rear bumper just above the number plate (black rectangular shape) - clear as day. Front one is even easier to spot.

Just gave it a good clean and still looks like this -

Is there any possibility that there’s some sort of protective film over the lens similar to new phones etc which hasn’t been removed during PDI?

Looks like one heck of a fingerprint has been left as well which seems strange unless there’s a film of some sort?

Worth checking?

Yep that's shit!

Get it replaced under warranty as it looks like ingress.

Oh and the front one is normally at the front - centre. If you don't have surround then perhaps you only have a reversing camera which is really not ideal!

Certainly is worth checking. I've had the car nearly 2 years though, worked fine until last week.

Man I mean no offense really but posts like these make me question how people survived so far with their previous cars ?
it’s not the question of survival…it’s the question, how can they afford to use such low quality of the camera in a +100k car…
For instance, my Nissan Navara had superior camera(s), or Renault Koleos… but we have discussed that several times before, so there’s probably no sense to repeat that all over again?

Ok so what exactly has that to do with the original post here?
