    Is there a way to adjust my rear camera on my 2013? The doted line used to indicate the center of the truck is not lined up with the ball on the hitch. The center dotted line is more towards the drivers side when looking at the display. Is this normal or possibly an easy fix?

    There are no easy fixes that I am aware of.

    My 2012 is off a bit, thankfully my trailer is easily manhandled onto the ball. Even though its off a bit it's much better than having no cam as I've dealt with before.

    Do you have a lockable keyed tail gate handle? If not get one from pop n lock and it will flip your camera and for me on my 2012 it's much better placement

    I took mine to the dealer for the same issue (2013 AC). They looked at it and read into their manuals and couldn't find anything about it. The lead tech took me out to the show room and we tested three different Tacos and they were all off. If somebody finds a workable fix for this issue let me know.

    I use the camera all the time to line up the trailer & ball.... I think the line is meant to be offset, if the dotted line is centered, you'll have trouble seeing the hitch over the ball and knowing when to stop.

    .. I believe the guidelines are laid out offset like this for this purpose.

    Dealer told me it's off because the actual camera is off center. No fix.

    This...camera is on once side of the tailgate handle. Wish there was a way to adjust it up a little aswell...I have no need to see my tailgate in the bottom 1/8th of the display...
