reverse camera lighting terrible?
I can take a picture but the reverse camera image at night on my 750 is god awful. Honestly looks like the white lights do nothing.
Is it just me? |

The white lights really do nothing indeed. Gone are the times where reversing light filled its original design purpose, which was to illuminate the area behind the car. These days, manufacturers go with a bare minimum that is required by regulations, which is a white color reverse indicator.
Some manufacturers even install only one indicator, which severely compromises the angle of effectiveness. This stuff really needs some tighter regulations, because evidently, doing a right thing can't be left up to manufacturers. |

Does adjusting the contrast and brightness help any?

Heck no! I was just saying this to my wife the other day. I actually got out of the car to see if they were illuminated! Brutal. I really wish there was something that could be done, but wiring something like that in would be a real pain.

Yes it's not great although I'd swear it was OK to begin with but now it's awful (I have nothing to back that thought up about it changing) this is on a MY22 730d

Mine is the opposite - G01 is a 2020 (newer) while G12 is a '17 (older). G12 noticeably has clearer and cleaner image. Maybe words don't mean anything without photo so I will take a few when I get a chance.
