A Better Backup Camera Hood improves the backup camera's poor picture quality at night in all models of Volkswagen ID.4, ID.5, GTX, Skoda Enyak, Audi Q4 E-tron
Compatible with USA/CAN/EU ID.4 models all years.
The backup camera gets overwhelmed with bright light reflected from the license plate into the camera lens resulting in poor picture quality at night. A Better Backup Camera Hood effectively blocks the light allowing the backup camera to produce a quality picture.
It securely attaches to the backup camera housing with a big piece of VHB 3M tape.
What the camera hood DOES NOT DO:
- prevent rain from getting onto the camera lens
- keep the camera lens clean from dirt/snow
Printed on a high-end resin 3D printer and finished with a few coats of flat black paint to withstand the elements.
Compatible vehicles:
2021-23 VW ID4
2021-23 Skoda Enyak
The compatibility list will be expanded as I do more testing

Installation:
- make sure to warm up a camera housing to 60F(15C) if you park your car outside
- clean the camera housing from loose dirt and dust
- using included alcohol prep pad clean the camera housing, and let the alcohol dry
- practice “dry fit” a couple of times, make sure A Better Camera Hood sits tight, and do not use too much force, you may break it
- carefully peel off the backing paper from the tape
- attach the camera hood to the backup camera housing, and keep gentle pressure on the area where the tape is for about 20-40 seconds to assure good adhesion.
- do not disturb the camera hood for 48-72h
ATTENTION: the tape allows only one attempt. If you put it on and had to remove it due to whatever reason, you NEED to get a new piece of tape, otherwise camera hood will fall off.
