RBM328 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 We just purchased a 2016 Edge w/37k miles. We've noticed that the backup camera is not vivid and sharp. its not a dirty lens as i've cleaned it. Our daughter has a 2017 jeep cherokee and her display is bright. My boss has a '17 chevy truck and the same, bright vivid display. Any Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Usually the Edge's rear view camera is considered a very good one, at lease from my observation. But also on my 2016 Edge I started to notice that depending on the angle of light that is coming from behind it would show the image and as though the lens is dirty. Probably a defective camera that had some moisture come inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Jeremy Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Yeah I wish the cameras on the edge were better. The rear being low-res is fine, I barely use it anyway. But the front cameras and the way the 2nd display mode corrects for the fisheye distortion is really jenky. I wish it was left uncorrected.

Any Thoughts? Have you tried adjusting the brightness of your display? Maybe a previous owner turned the level down at some point. Go to Settings then page over to Display then to Brightness and crank it up. The level is right in the center from the factory. See pics of my '16 screen below.
