Did you notice that while in reverse

if you scroll the knob, you can adjust the back up camera brightness. I did not know that. and it doesn't say anything about it on the owners manual.

Yup it does it in other Acura products. I am surprised the TLX manual doesn't mention it

I am actually about to literally run 3 blocks down and hop in my car to test this!!! I've been searching for brighter reverse bulb replacements for the last hour or so. Did you just solve my problem, zero work required??!!

The back up camera doesn't get brighter. It's The screen that gets brighter. Doesn't make camera quality any better than it already is.

Ha - good to know!

There are so many little things like that that are easy to miss I wonder if we shouldn't have a "Tips -n- Tricks" sticky somewhere.

Good find. Been wanting to make the screen a little brighter during the day.

It does not help that much, has anyone replaced the backup cam itself with a better low light alternative?
