    I got a small chip in my front camera causing some minor distortion in the view, nothing that bad. Fortunately, I found a used front camera on eBay from a Lusso to use. A replacement from Ferrari would have cost over $4k if memory serves me. I could have submitted to insurance company, but didn't want to risk increasing my rates, especially after just replacing my panoramic roof due to a crack. I was warned to ensure the battery was not giving power when replacing the camera so it wouldn't cause issues. I assumed my shop did that. However, when the new camera was installed, it booted both the front and rear camera, and no cameras are recognized. They tried to get Ferrari support on the phone, without any success. BTW, this was a very reputable shop that works on similar cars. Any ideas on how best to fix this?

    I could live without the front camera as it is useless since you can't see the curb, but the rear is problematic.

    Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Scott, I'm in the same boat WRT a chip distorting the camera. Did you ever get this sorted out? Not terrible, but irritating for sure.

    I’m just running without a camera altogether in the front. Frankly, I found it somewhat useless as it didn’t give a view of curbs

    Makes sense! I'm going to see if some non-replacement repair is possible. OEM and dealer, we are almost $5K...
