I dont think the cold weather has anything to do with this..

Anyone know a good replacement back up camera that is plug-and-play? I just want to do a straight up swap instead of removing all the old wires.
TreeSemdyZee sent me some 20% window tint. Since I don't have access to my Z for a few of weeks, I've been experimenting at home with the original camera that viewed everything upside down. I've found that if I put 3 layers of 20% tint over the lens, I get a decent picture in bright sunlight. In interior light, the image is pretty grainy. With 2 layers the image is still too bright, although you can make out objects. at 4 layers, you can see well in the bright light, but any non-bright area are too dark.

I would appreciate it if you contact the ebay seller, so at least they know I'm not the only one who thinks his product is defective. If enough folks complain, he may actually figure out he has a manufacturing problem.
