Default Anyone tried the eBay or Alibaba parking cameras?

My front parking camera took a direct rock hit the other day and is almost unusable. Are the eBay or AliExpress options ok or is it better to just bite the bullet and buy OEM?

find a scrapped car and take it off, or just find one used on ebay or car selling parts sites like wolfautoparts, etc

I have looked at the scrappers but most have a lot of pitting from rocks, etc. Been watching eBay, not much that isn’t absurdly expensive but will keep an eye out. Can’t believe how expensive these cameras are.

Yikes, Audi lists for $1,000 US dollars per camera...insane!

Here's an option for new one at $220 US at Parts Geek...not sure how that compares with recycler prices, but it's brand new:

I mean, what prices are we talking about? I have dozens of Q7s for scrap parts, and guarantee camera wont be more then $100 which is completelly acceptable
