Mine has been working for four years now so perhaps crapping out in less than a year was a fluke.

Good when it works (see build thread). No fisheye effect. Crapped out after 10 months. I just bought another one for $33. Will see if the company is going to do anything about it.

I also have a Natika. Not the same model.

Might be the same internals. A lot of times they'll rehouse stuff. Mine has been holding up for 3-4 years now.

What was it doing? Wiring damaged when you removed it? Enough slack in the line for movement? There's always that chance of failure. I know the Natika are very popular with the front cameras in aftermarket Toyotas. Haven't seen much on them dying. You might have gotten a bad one. :(


Did you contact them through Amazon or directly?
I'd try direct if you haven't. They claim they are 24/7 and it should carry a 24 month replacement warranty.

Hopefully they follow through and send you a replacement before the Amazon return window closes. If you already installed it, you could send back the replacement in it's place. ;)
 
@bonifacio, I had that model you have as well. I tested both of them and found the model I chose (WD-779) had better resolution and less 'fish eye'. it had a 135 degree viewing angle. I will install the new one and return the old one.
