    This is correct, i too have kept hoping Toyota would come out with a simple reflash to fix the camera quality. I waited as long as i could, the wife was on my ace about it too much so i had to try to fix it. Thread below with pix and all.

    not exactly, see below.

    Just like everybody else with MTM or 360degree, its AWFUL

    Upgrading to a 10.1 HD head unit helped in my case, but to also upgrade the camera to HD was just unnecessary. I still use my windows.

    any updates? I am hoping for a programming fix to give the rear camera better resolution and remove the weird gray area from front cam

    I have exactly same issue. Really unacceptable grainy foggy image quality despite cleaning the lens. I don't think it's supposed to be that bad. I took mine to dealer and they ordered a replacement camera since the car was still under warranty. Your car should also be under warranty so I suggest telling dealer to order a new one. Another thing is I see no dynamic grid lines when I turn my steering wheel. Not sure whether it's supposed to be there but all I see is the blue box line and red line that goes throught the middle that are fixed and not turn with steering wheel. Hope that'll get fixed too when they install new camera.

    Meanwhile I ordered Auto-Vox wireless solar powered backup camera from Amazon. Will see how that goes but looks promising. You can check it out. A lot of video reviews on it. The fact that Japan is the country of Nikons and Canons known for superb image quality this substandard camera on 4Runner is very disappointing.
