    Anyone notice the rear-view camera image on the screen is actually reversed, or a mirror imagae of what the camera "sees". Toyota thinks of everything.
    Thus what you see on the right hand side of the screen while looking forward is to your right REAR.
    But a normal camera image looking rearward would not naturaly give such a perspective.
    If this doesn't make sense consider this....If looking rearward, like the camera does, the licensec plate is to the left of the camera, but in the image it's to the right. Just as it is when you are looking forward. :D

    Thanks for posting! I was curious about that. I know that you can get aftermarket camera in either normal or reverse. I would prefer the reversed myself (like here) so the MFD looks like a mirror.
