DIY: 2013+ Hyundai Santa Fe Back-Up Camera Replacement

This video came in handy today. I’ve had the new camera for a while but the engine blew and we had to wait to get that fixed. If you have a Hyundai and the engine blows, take it to a dealer so they can see if it’s part of the class action lawsuit. We got a new engine for $0, it just took a little over a month.

pssst, don't worry about the grey clips. They are temporary for assembly only. The bolts/screws are what hold the panel in place.

Frustrating watching the fast forward through some of the most difficult parts to do.

How do u remove the 10 mm bolts in the door handle l dont know what tools to use for that

You just saved me $600. Thank you so much for posting this step by step.

300 bucks😳

PLEASE show how you those tiny grey clips out to take off the panel on the hatch? I hae the entire back panel off, I cannot get these grey clips disconnected or even broken off…

Graciass me ayudó muchísimo este video.

Cool video, can you please do a video on sane csr on how to remove and replace the rear top roof antenna. Thanks

I’ve been driving my grandparents old hyundai santa fe and i just haven’t bothered to get the camera replaced ever since they said it would be $400. But my Dad is an engineer and this looks like something we could do, so this is awesome!

Hi. I bought from ebay an OEM Mobis camera , but after installation it doubles the warning notification to another language and also doubles the lines. I tend to belive this is not Mobis original. Did you guys buying from ebay experienced same ? Are there any settings for reverse camera where warning notification can be removed?

This is not as easy as it looks. Get yourself a look pair of needle nose pliers that are curved at the end to squeeze the gray clips.

For the Love of God how did you pull those square retainer pins, heelppp

Why do people feel the need to blank out the plates, what does anyone knowing your plate number matter, everyone in your parking lot can see it.

The original camera had a part metal case that let in water when the metal corroded, replacements from eBay seem to have an all-plastic case which solves the issue. Recently replaced mine but opened it up and added acrylic coating to the circuit boards for extra protection. Use a 9mm ring spanner over the grey plastic clips to release them. Really important - protect the bodywork from the bolts on the end of the panel as they WILL scratch the paint whilst taking off the panel.

Does all 2013 Santa Fe has a back up camera connector at the tailgate. if your vehicle is not equipped witha camera?

With your vidéo i was able to do it ! great job got the new camera on amazon for a 105$

Our 35 yr old daughter living 2100 miles away had her car just die on the fwy. She replaced the camera herself. Camera works but car still isn’t working. (

Hyundai just quoted me 800 dollars to replace and they charged me 170 to diagnose.....never again

For the grey clips, I found that if you can put a bit of tension on the cover by lifting it, and the pinch (with a plier) or push (with a flathead) the two grey tabs in, they pop out.

Just completed it. Definitely break off the clips and replace instead of trying to force the cover off. Otherwise you risk damaging the cover.

Another big help for me is putting the ratchet on my drill driver. I have had a simple adaptor that fits ratchet on one end where the other end fits in the drill. This speeds up removing and installing all those 10mm nuts, some at bad angles for my back

I never new that radio can be used as a back up camera I have the same one wonder if there’s a connection in the back.

I just opened up this rear panel, and didn’t break anything. For the gray clips, I just compressed them individually while my friend put some light upward pressure on the cover. I just worked each one at a time and it came off with no problem and no broken clips. It’s all about taking your time.
I have no idea whatsoever why the camera just fails. Like he shows in the video, that whole area under the cover is subject to rain and salt water and dirt. The camera body did indeed have some light corrosion on the outside of it, but the connector was perfectly clean. I’ve ordered another camera, we’ll see if a replacement fixes the issue.
Does anyone know the difference between the reverse cameras for navigation vs non-navigation? Besides the $200 price difference? I believe I ordered a camera for a Santa Fe with navigation, but my Santa Fe doesn’t have nav. The clips are the same though.

Just did mine today. The final attachment clips, will break. Not designed to pop off. And there were 5 nuts underneath the final trim, not 3. Other than that, thank you

How long to you think this job would actually take?

Exactly what I needed to see, thank you!!

why so scared of showing licence plate? if that paranoias take it off, the blockage fuzz is very annoying and uncool to the ease of watching

Great video. What is the part number of this camera.Thanks

Seems like I'm the only person who replaced the camera and the screen is still blank when in reverse. tried two different cameras from the links provided in the comments chain. Any other suggestions?

Bought the camera and clips today. I'll let you know how it goes.

Good video with the exception of getting the clips off. My suggestion is to not even try. Buy new clips on Ebay. You can get a package of 25 of them for under $9 Just shear the back off with a chisel or screw driver. Make sure you have them before you start the job.Below is the discription on Ebay. You can also buy the camera as well much cheaper.

25pc: Blue Rocker Moulding Grommet Clips W/ Sealer Fits Hyundai Kia 87756-1F000

good luck getting that cover off without breaking it

Worked like a charm. Thank you. But I'm missing the grid lines. What happend?

I've had the same failure in my 2013 SF. This looks too complicated for me to take on myself. Hyundai made it way too difficult to service the camera. And way too expensive to replace. So, I'll probably have to go without or get a clamp on. Frustrating that it's probably a design flaw. Shame on you Hyundai.

cant get the gray clips off help

2013 Santa Fe Sport without navigation.
thank you so much for this video. My dealer quote to replace this was $738.00. My husband and I did this replace today (8/17/19). It took about 1hour and was quire easy. As indicated by many, this gray clips is the worse part. The issue is that you cannot really see the clips so it is hard to avoid breaking them. There were 10 clips. We broke 4 of them. Just take your time when you are pulling off the cover to get to the camera. However, i don't think you can complete the job without breaking a couple. Don't worry too much, because there are screwes that hold the cover in place on the outer side. I purchased my camera on ebay ($135). The manufacturer is Dorman and the part number is 590-077 (remember is for a 2013 Santa Fe sport without navigation. Everything works well. I dont see any funny Chinese writing in the back up view or anything like that. Thanks again for thr video.

Can you tell me the part number so i can order my camera???? I’m a woman so I dont know what the heck to look for lol

Thanks 👍

What camera, The ip68?

Im stuck at the clips. Did anyone find a replacement number for these clips? Very frustrated trying to remove this without breaking them, but I really need my camera back. I have the camera, figured this would be a breeze, until I met these clips....

This is a great video. I had the same issue with the salt and replaced it with a new camera.
I got my camera from ebay 75 CAD. However I have double grid lines. Anyone else had the same issue ?

I had to replace mine as well and I ordered the same model number camera: 95760-2W000
But the camera I received puts an extra guideline and warning message (korean) on the screen what is quite ugly. Do you know what should I check to be sure that I order the exact camera what I need?

I had a black screen. Replacing the camera worked for me. Pick one up from ebay $60. Like every comment here, it’s almost impossible removing the metal cover without breaking one or two of the clips. I tried, pushing then from the bottom, and took my time, but still broke a few. Lucky it still held in place once i button it back up. I don’t recommend the silicone, due to it will trap water and debris behind the cover and cause corrosion. Water is meant to pass thru the cover and out. You may still want to cover the back of the camera with silicone, this will protect, the camera from water and corrosion. Thank you for this Great video, it help me wiz thru the process. 👍

So finally, after 6 months I replace my camera. I was able to get one new off eBay, OEM, for $70. The whole repair took me about 1 hour, and no doubt the clips were the most challenging part. I was able to get the trip off with only breaking 1 clip. I used a very long screwdriver to press the sides of the clips and get them to pop through one at a time. Thanks for this video. It gave me the confidence to attach this project myself. The dealership quoted me $180 for the labor and $280 for the camera.

Any advice on removing the grey clips that are a bit of challenge to reach?

Thanks for the video. Do you know the part number for the grey clips? I want to order the clips as well along with the camera (just in case)!
