How do you clean rear camera lens? It's dirty all the time!

[Jackson]

Guys, previously I had the cars with the hidden camera (under the car badge) so rear camera was away from the mud.
How do you solve this issue on Taycans? It is literally not safe to use camera like this. Please don't tell me you are washing it all the time after the rain :/

There is a "water jet" that cleans it. Put it in reverse and an icon should appear in the instrument cluster just above the reverse cam icon on your photo above.

Ah, noticed it's a CT. Then push and hold the stalk forward to engage the rear wiper and the camera cleaner thingie.

I use the water jet button.

Porsche cost cutting on the digital screen button on the CT. You have to wash the back glass to clean the camera.

My water jet stopped working. Where can I fill it up? Or I fear it will be jamed by all the dirt

Rainx the lens then press the washer function.

And even worse ( if possible ) front camera , did not even bother to put on a washer.

Ct has no button.
if the ct is just washed and still clean but camera not, then your back window is wet if you want to clean the camera. So dumb?
front camera and sensor for distance and driving is quick full f dirth in Belgium. Always message ‘ sensors not working’ ?

Reservoir is in the frunk - same one shared with windscreen washers.

With the snow and salt in NY my cameras are filthy. Much much worse than what the OP posted. Cannot even distinguish any shape and the washer doesn't do anything with this kind of dirt. I don't think it's Porsche's fault per se, but with such an aerodynamic shape, all dirt just goes there

If I give the rear washer stalk a quick press it only squirts the camera, needs a longer press to squirt the rear screen. Couple of quick stabs normally cleans it unless badly caked in salt/grime.

Many thanks for the answer I was looking for... but also this is worrying as my windscreen washers are working just fine.

Mine tries to wash but it's unusable, way worse that the image in the original post.
I can't find it to clean it manually either. Just had tye car cleaned and still filthy

The rear camera is located in the top centre of the rear bumper just above the number plate (black rectangular shape) - clear as day. Front one is even easier to spot.

My daily routine, when I'm approaching to the car, i clean it by my finger in a second.
(Learned that with my previous cars.)
btw: I noticed that front camera doesn't collect dirt, it stays clean (or being cleaned by rain).
