460-Backup camera washer

[Acrad]

Inspired by IH8Mud member (ZHS) who had a backup camera washer thread on CL. He has a method even cheaper.. I did more of the plug and play option

I installed this backup camera washer a little over a week ago... (I know.. seems like a gimmick) but have had plenty of situations now especially in the winter when camera was unusable.

Easy install if you have ever had the rear panel off before. Camera is held in by a couple screws you just move over to the other mount. The stream can be aimed as well with a small pin. It was initially too low but brought it up and it coats the lens thoroughly. I get a lot of snow & dirt buildup in the winter and renders the camera pretty useless at times so this should help. Everything fit like a glove and the window sprayer still had plenty of fluid to work with on the rear window. I'll adjust further if needed.

Initial shipment got lost so they had to resend. If interested email them and ask them to invoice you via Paypal. English is not an issue.

2010-2013 version

2014+ version

We don't have the snow you have, but after wheeling on dusty roads all day or even in the mountains in the winter, I have to take a damp paper towel and wipe off my backup camera.
Did you have to feed 20 feet (or whatever length) of hose through/under your vehicle to the rear door?
I assume it comes with it's own pump. Where did you put the Washer switch? Or did you tap into your headlight washer switch?

This simply taps into the rear window washer. There is still plenty of pressure going to rear window. One could certainly setup in other configurations as needed.

I'm an idiot...
Didn't even think of the rear wiper/washer we have...
Everything could just tap into that!

It's a dead simple install. When I need to use during winter not a big deal if rear washer is activated as well.

Has anyone been able to purchase from them recently? I am unable to check out and ship to Canada, and I have sent them a few emails with no reply.

Not at all. THis would be super handy on the trail. It's a constant issue in the monsoon here when there's a giant mud puddle every 15 yards.

They have it on Ali-Express but ti shows no shipping to the US. Can you try from Canada? https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801588598363.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt

It looks like it's a Russian product, so it might be under sanctions.

That's awesome. I don't give two S's if it's Russian, I'd get one regardless. I could use it up here in the mountains and on trails.

Mine were obtained back in 2020. I sold my extra one to some GX 460 owner in the NE a few years back.

AFAIK… all DHL, Fedex, UPS and USPS services to/from US were suspended with Russia right after the start of the war in 2022.

The same with Canada too AFAIK.

Ugh. Figures. Guess have to wait for it to be lifted. I need my Russian ammo too dammit.

The allegro link to purchase on the website doesn't have an option to purchase either, not surprising as it is a Polish company.

In addition to shipping there is no way to pay for it Paypal, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express transactions with Russia are also suspended.

Would be a really nice feature to have. I have a second camera, I moved my Garmin wireless BC 40 and installed lithium batteries in it to the GX when I upgraded my Northstar that has Ride Command with forward and aft cameras. One of the 2 cameras usually is clear in the winter but the Garmin does point out some of the weaknesses of the GX camera\display screen. I would really like to have the ability to clean the GX camera from the drivers seat especially in the winter.

Ive always thought it would be super cool to add trail camera in the front and tie into a carplay dashcam unit that has multi-camera input. I know you can get that sort of set-up in Canadian models. Would be amazing if you could add cameras that it didn’t ship with like MTS.

@Acrad do you know anyone who has added Lexus cameras by adding the parts to a 460 that didn’t ship with them? Id sooner do that than CC/MTS.

I have all the parts... camera, OEM grill, and ECU.. still need to find time to do it. I even picked up cameras for the side mirrors. Same unit used in the 200 series.

In US 10-19 you could get front and ride side camera. Not all Canadian models with camera package have only the passenger side. I've seen some with driver side as well which was available in Eurasian market all along. Of course '20+ with specific packages have it all but option existed long before then.

What was the cost of cameras and ECU? Assuming I could retro the grill.

Cleancam got back to me and apparently shipping with Fedex to Canada is $85 USD. I am still waiting on a paypal invoice but I am curious where it will even come from...

My 2012 Ultra Premium Canada spec has the driver side camera along with front and passenger. A little useless though since I can only use it in off road modes.

IMO: Probably shipping from China

I'll go through parts list this weekend.. I basically have a spare new/used parts bin for my GX 460 in my shed
