When using the back-up camera, the lower right area of the nav screen is black as if something is partially covering the camera lens -- but there's nothing covering it. Anyone one have any insight on this?

 

that.. would probably be your rear bumper

 

Hmmm...You sure? I don't recall seeing it before but maybe I just now noticed.

 

hahahaa yeah, that's your rear bumper. just have someone play around at the back while you are in the car and you can see

if you go into navigation diagnostic screen i believe you can adjust the angle of the camera a bit, but i wouldn't recommend that

 

looks like the bumper to me

 

Lmao.
It would be more relevant if it was dead center, the camera.

 

LOL! Ok...it's the bumper. Thanks for going easy on me.

 

this may be a silly question, but what is the "camera" looking thing in the black box under the brake light in the rear window?

 

rear light sensor for the instrument panels

 

that is the rear light sensor to help adjust your dash cluster lighting

edit: lol i hate kevin for typing too fast

 

There is a light sensor there that the car uses to adjust a number of things like the optitron dashboard tint. There is no shortage of electronic gadgets to go bad in these things, that's for sure.

 

gotta catch up to your post counts henry.. lol

well, i really wouldn't think the light sensors are wear and tears items.. it's probably gonna outlast the life of the car.. so no biggie

 

If you asked me the same about a sun shade a couple of weeks ago I probably would have said the same about that, too! Seriously, you don't expect wiper motors or wiper transmissions to go bad for nearly the life of a car and they work a lot harder, a lot more often. Go figure.

 

I was wondering what that little sensor does. God these cars are so advanced

 

if only all of you guys will just bother to read the manuals.. ..
