rear camera alignment

[jumbojake]

we've noticed the rear camera is out of alignment.... shifted left.  If you park in an empty car park, using the guide lines against the white lines on the floor, we find we are 6 inches to the right!

Is it possible to re-calibrate them ?.. or is it just the physical angle of the camera?

(note the tailgate was replaced a while ago, following an accident.. chances are it was wrong from then, but only just noticed! )

It is possible the camera may be able to be re-positioned slightly in the tailgate. It only takes a very small movement of the camera to move the picture substantially.

I've read there is a diagnostic mode we can enable on the main screen, which can allow tuning of the camera direction, rotation distance etc (doesn't need Techstream).... however, the instructions I have seen appear to be from the later model (perhaps Aussie or US spec).   It involved turning on the ignition, then holding down the 'MENU' button (AV system), then turning on and off the lights 3 times... but the pictures look more like the mk4 version

Does anyone have the instructions to enable diagnostic mode on the mk3 version (upto 2015) ?

I've got into the 'secret' maintenance  menu ... but the options to align the camera are greyed out.. anyone know how to progress from here?   (according to the Lexus workshop manual, I should be able to use these.. but it doesn't say anything about them being greyed out)

Make sure the transmission is in Park and the parking brake is on.

yes, tried that and a few other combinations, but no joy... just remains grey'd out
