Back Up Camera Too Dark!?
Hey guys,

In my infiniti back up camera, the video was always bright now matter whether it was day/night time.

In my 08 TLS, the back up camera is pretty dim, especially at night. Is this something that everyone experiences, or can I adjust it? I couldn't find set up for it.

I don't remember exactly where it is, but there's an adjustment for it. Check the manual.

With the car in reverse (the camera on), I believe you can use the "zoom" toggle switch to darken or brighten the image.

Hmm, still too dim.

Are there any other options to brighten the camera?

Elkayem, what was your solution?
