Consumer Description

THE BACKUP CAMERA IS SO DIM IT IS USELESS. ALTHOUGH SOME VW CAMERAS HAVE ADJUSTABLE BRIGHTNESS, MY MODEL DOES NOT AND EVEN THE DEALER SAID IT WAS USELESS. WAS SHOWN OTHER MODELS WITH SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED DEALER AND VW OF AMER. AND WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE. NEEDS NEW SENSOR OR REPLACEMENT. A REAL SAFETY ISSUE.
