Hi Hadrian, did you manged to retrofit reversing camera or any of you? 

I decided not to in the end. I was quoted around £600, and there was someone recommended to me who may have been able

to do it cheaper, but he didn't get back to an email I sent.   I manage without.

Hi all, Lexus does not do this job cheap but it does it for @2k if insisted!! I've asked in Belfast also in Dublin. First reaction from them will be "not possible to add reversing camera if not manufacturer fitted "...and like already said above, if insisted they will actually give you a scary price afterwards!! I've a 2015 F-sport that also came without camera or sat nav also. My local Lexus dealer told me that I need to upgrade sat nav if I want rev cam and gave me price 2000£ :))). Different dealer told me 560£ only for the camera but it's a big job to pull all the wires from the front dash to the boot and I declined the offer. Checking later myself by removing the boot door panel I found that I actually have wired from factory ( couldn't upload picture) which gave me loads of Hope in solving this task so I purchased aftermarket camera from HK at around 30£ but when asked an auto electric shop to fitted he told me that there's no power in those wires whatsoever so left in the air, again,  the hole "rev cam" upgrade task. Honestly I've got used already without satnav as the parking sensors do the job just as well but it's a bugger and bit if time to get used as my previously 2008 is220d had revcam also premium Lexus satnav. I'm sure that another 6 months or so from now on will arise loads of cheap ways on-line to upgrade. There's in Canada also in USA few companies who do this upgrade by selling a bunch of wires and connections that can be connected behind the stereo and after a bit of fiddly work at some 250usd + postage but I think is too expensive. Also check on YouTube, there're few options there.

I have contacted Lexus Customer Relations twice, and am disappointed that they are unwilling to answer the questions asked.

They have told me that reversing cameras are not available as a Lexus optional extra for my is300h, which is fair enough.

When asked if it is possible to fit a camera, they just came back with the same answer, that it's not something Lexus will do.

So I still don't know if it's possible or not.  I shall have to get back to my local audio visual dealer.

Hey Old post but will answer. I have Lexus Is 300H Executive. We started to put wires through panels. Wasted loads of time 🙃🙃🙃 we had my cousin luxury version wich had camera. We just took his camera and put it in my executive version (somewhere in the midle of boot you have empty wire). Worked straight away. Didn't need to do anything elese. Otherwise I believe you can buy cheap one around 20-25£ like we did before and do it with cables through panels.

You can connect an aftermarket one to the factory wiring loom also. You dont need to run the wires through the panels. I have done it. Its super easy and no need to drill holes or splice any factory wires.
