Rock pitted front camera

[Mighty Mouse]

The front camera lens on my 2011 GX460 is pitted with rock chips. Makes the image very blurred.

Any suggestions?

You have a front camera on a 2011??? Wow! I'm jealous!
Not sure how to fix the front lens, but when you do, you may consider getting a cell phone type lens protector and cut it down to fit over your camera lens.
I did this for the screen on my Fuji Finepix S1 display screen so it wouldn't get scratched. Works great! Yeah, I know it's a bridge camera and not a vehicle front camera, but the idea is the same across the board.

@r2m - Driver Support Package features of ‘14-‘19 Luxury models were options on the ‘10-‘13 models as well. Rare.. but out there… more common on Canadian and models outside of US market.

I had always assumed they were only on north of the border models. If I'd known, I'd have searched (probably in vein) for one with the camera.
Really would like a front camera for parking and off roading.
I don't believe there's a simple, inexpensive alternative, that I've seen.

I actually collected all the cameras, ECU and grille over the years to do it but not the time :-(

Mirror cameras as well
