WD40 is not a lubricant!

You will merely wash out the grease that is left in there with it...

WD40 is a lubricant. I will get rid of grease though with may not be a good thing.

Better get some 'Teflon Plus' bike (cycle) lube spray from Halfords etc.  Best dry lube spray to be found lubricates everything and causes no damage to rubber etc

Checked mine this morning Joe, and the black edge along the top is perfectly straight.

There is a very noticeable difference in the picture quality between MIB1 and MIB2 radios!

Thanks fellas. Looks like there's a mixture of quality out there. I haven't had a second to look at mine since. I'll give some lubricant a go and failing that I'll mention it to the dealers at some stage (it's not a biggie really).

Does that annoying box on the left always pop up for everyone? Seems to defeat the object of a rear view camera if half of the screen is blocked out? Mine comes on all of the time, unless I'm in a completely clear area...

Mine used to pop up and then the box around it would go clear after a short time, however it seems to have stopped doing it now for some reason.

I reported this issue to the dealer since and I'm getting the camera replaced next week.
