At night while stopped, as you shift the car into reverse, the rear view camera display is blinding bright. Its bright light is being reflected by the windows back into the car, making it impossible to see out the windows of the vehicle. While other car functions - radio, phone, and navigation - which all use the same display screen as the backup camera, dim themselves for night use, the rear view camera display is as bright at night as it is during the day, causing this issue. This is a permanent, repeatable issue.
