RDX, 2008, Rear Camera picture very poor during daylight
Have any of you had a problem with the view from the 2008 RDX rear camera as I have? The picture it provides is so washed out it is really not usable, although at night it works great. My dealership has changed the camera to no avail and tell me I am the only RDX person that has had that problem. I believe in 2010 the camera system was changed, although I don't know how. I asked the dealership to query the area Acura rep, but received no suggestions or solutions. This is the first time I have had an Acura problem with seemingly no resolution. I would appreciate any information that might be provided.
Thanks...

I can't believe that Acura rep. / Dealer didn't at least say to update the software to the latest ver. Mine wasn't always the best, but after the latest update, it's great. One thing you can do also, is check to see if the lens has "filmed up", (THAT'S MOSTLY WHY IT WORKS AT NIGHT, NOT DAY) you can use a small amount of WD-40 on a rag & wipe it off. Then clean with a MILD soap to clean off the WD-40. If you don't want to use WD-40, you can use baby oil. That stuff works wonders! This helped mine a lot!!! (Even before I updated the software)

Thanks so much for making time to reply...I did not even know, althought now that you have mentioned software update it certainly makes sense, that the rear view picture and camera would function via upgradable software...So tomorrow I will pursue your suggestion.
Thanks Again

I have an 07 rdx and too noticed a dull color on the rear view camera. I waited until this year to purchase the new navteq (white disk) for 2010. After install, the rear view camera is now crisp clear and color is bright. The color on the nav. screen is much brighter and crisp too. Seems the updated nav. is much more usable and easier to use and find places. (at least for me.) Although a bit pricy, I'm glad to have bought it.
