Rear Backup Reverse Camera for 2016-2021 Tesla Model S X 1061269-00-C

Restore the factory rearview-camera image in a compatible legacy Tesla Model S or Model X with this new replacement backup-camera assembly.

This wired camera uses a factory-style housing, mounting bracket, attached cable and electrical connector. It is intended as a replacement for an existing defective camera with matching part number 1061269-00-C.

This is not a universal RCA camera and will not add a rear-camera system to a vehicle that was not originally equipped with one.

𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀

• 1061269-00-C
• 106126900C
• 1061269-00-D — later revision commonly cataloged for the same legacy application

The Tesla number is supplied as an interchange reference. This product is an aftermarket replacement and should not be described as a genuine Tesla component.

𝗩𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆

Potential applications include:

• Tesla Model S produced approximately July 2016 through January 2021
• Tesla Model X produced approximately 2016 through February 2021

These dates describe legacy Model S and Model X production and are not a substitute for matching the original part number.

The camera may fit various battery and drive configurations, including 60, 60D, 70, 70D, 75, 75D, 85, 85D, 90D, 100D, P85D, P90D, P100D, Standard Range, Long Range and Performance. Battery or motor configuration does not determine camera compatibility.

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵

• Refreshed Palladium Model S and Model X vehicles
• Model S Plaid or Model X Plaid using a different camera assembly
• Vehicles requiring rear-camera number 1487924-00-D or another unmatched number
• Tesla Model 3
• Tesla Model Y
• Vehicles without an existing factory rear-camera system
• Universal RCA camera installations
• Original cameras with a different connector, housing, bracket or cable arrangement

The original listing’s 2017–2023 range is too broad. Later Model S and Model X vehicles can use different cameras based on production date and Autopilot hardware.

𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗢𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴

Remove or inspect the original camera and confirm all of the following:

• Original part number is 1061269-00-C or a verified compatible revision
• Electrical connector shape and locking mechanism match
• Attached cable length and routing match
• Camera housing shape matches
• Metal mounting bracket and mounting holes match
• Vehicle is a legacy Model S or Model X rather than the refreshed Palladium version

Tesla made running production changes, so the vehicle year alone cannot guarantee compatibility. VIN-based verification through Tesla’s parts catalog is recommended.

𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗢𝗳 𝗔 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮

A defective rear camera may cause:

• Blank or black rear-camera image
• Distorted, discolored or flickering video
• Intermittent image loss
• Moisture inside the camera lens
• Blurred or cloudy image
• Rear camera unavailable message

Similar symptoms can also be caused by damaged liftgate wiring, connector corrosion, software problems or a failing infotainment computer. Diagnose the vehicle before ordering.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Replacement requires access behind the rear liftgate or hatch applique. Rear trim and exterior applique components may need to be removed before disconnecting the original camera.

1. Follow the appropriate Tesla electrical safety procedure.

2. Remove the required liftgate trim and rear applique components.

3. Disconnect the original camera connector.

4. Remove the camera mounting fasteners.

5. Install the replacement camera and reconnect the wiring.

6. Reassemble the vehicle and verify a clear, stable rear image.

7. Confirm proper operation before relying on the camera while reversing.

Professional installation is recommended. Do not place tools or wiring near high-voltage components.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴

A like-for-like replacement with the correct camera revision is generally intended to operate through the existing factory system. However, software status, vehicle configuration or diagnostic procedures may affect operation.

This camera cannot correct a problem caused by the infotainment computer, vehicle wiring or software.

Part number, production date and physical configuration are more reliable than the eBay vehicle-compatibility table. Compare the original camera directly with the photographs before ordering.

If the original camera has another part number, do not assume interchangeability merely because the vehicle is a Model S or Model X.
