2014 Backup Camera Upgrade

I’d like to replace my 2014 OEM backup camera with a better quality camera. I recently upgraded my NAV with a Dynavin unit and it looks great except the back up camera looks as bad as it did with the original NAV system screen. Anybody know of any backup camera that would be a direct replacement for the OEM back up camera? I’ve searched but I can’t seem to find anything other than a replacement that is exactly the same quality as the original.

This is the
one one
I was told about a couple of years ago when I thought mine was going out. Mine started working after the battery was changed out so I never looked any farther.

Can anyone tell me how your camera looks? The contrast is off, the color is overly saturated, and looks poor. Maybe my cam is just defective.

I took a pic of my camera. It’s not my screen. Everything else looks great and looked like this on my stock nav as well. I had to modify it to look like the way I’m seeing it since my camera brightened it up too much.

Can anyone tell me if their stock backup camera looks like this being dark and oversaturated? It’s really almost useless backing up since it’s so difficult to see my surroundings using it.

I’m trying to find out if it’s worth buying an OEM replacement for it because I cannot find an aftermarket camera that has better specs that will fit. Maybe my unit is defective.

Mine looks better than that, I will get a picture of it tomorrow since the shot in the Dark garage is the bumper of my F150.

Here are a couple from mine, the contrast on mine is better but like has been said many times it is not a GoPro.
