Any way to brighten reverse camera? It's super dim for my 2023 model
Got my brand new 2023 330ixDrive and the one glaring issue is how dark my rear camera is when backing up/out. Is there any way to brighten the screen? I searched a good while in the settings menu but wasn't able to find anything. If not, what could be the technical issue I wonder?
Edit: Meant to add the fact that this is an issue at night Last edited by CEB-21; 09-22-2023 at 12:50 PM.. |

I have a 2022, and it sucks at night... I have the brightness turned all the way up and it blows...
I'm subbing for answers also...

One of the very few things that is genuinely poor about the G20 is the absolutely useless reversing lights. I think that's the main issue, rather than a problem with the screen, as if I'm reversing when I'm in a brightly lit area at night it's not a problem. I don't think there's a fix, unless you want to fit auxiliary reversing lights ... |

Perhaps it depends on year and model. My reverse light/camera is decent even in areas that are not so well lit. I haven’t had any problems so far. Having 360 camera probably also helps.

It's a 2023 model. Regrettably the lease I just turned in was a 2020 and had no problems with it.

Told my SA about it on Monday, he has a M340 also and says his is dime, he did not know of a real fix. If I'm out tonight when its dark I will report back and see if it helped.

Same here. Surprised there is no brightness control or ISO control for the backup camera!

Sorry to say but from personal experience 2020, 2021 and 2023 all suck the same.
Wife's Audi and kids Subaru are much brighter in the dark, you can drive backwards at night, no problem. |
