I'thousand not peculiarly OCD, simply I've noticed that the lines on my backup photographic camera in my 2017 TRD sport are *not* centered with the truck. I know the camera itself isn't centered, merely the digitally overlaid lines on the brandish are similarly off center.
What it boils downward to is that when the lines on the display are aligned with my parking spot, my truck is actually about 6 inches to the correct, rather than centered. Have you other 3rd gen owners noticed this? Is at that place some sort of realignment I tin brand?

Mine is the same way. I didn't notice until after my son use the truck. Got all over him for non treating the truck right. Now I know I need to apologize to him.

Yeah, information technology'south just a quirk of the Tacomas. They're all similar that. I think my buddy'due south 4Runner is the aforementioned way. Probably truthful for all Toyotas with off-center rear cameras.
If I were to make a estimate, I'd wager that it's but a generic camera/software system that they slap onto a bunch of different vehicles and don't conform/customize it for each individual model.

The trouble starts with the camera not being centered right?

My backup camera was centered perfectly… that is until I went through a few car washes. Now it isn't. I has to be adjustable somehow.

Mine is ok when I support to claw on the trailer information technology is straight on every time.Same support into the carport but still use my side mirrors a flake. Now the mirrors are the ones to exist aware of every bit they look closer than what they are.

I've never formed a habit of using the line overlays. I use the side view mirrors for that. Erstwhile habits die hard perchance. I've found the rear camera perfect for hitching up a trailer and judging distance in the rear though.

Mine is off too and it's freaking abrasive, I don't typically use it much but it bothers my OCD a lot. I was going to effort and align it only I'll do that when I buy a electric lock kit.
