Have you inspected the camera for dirt or possibly a protective clear film left on it from new?

Yes, the first thing I did was check it was clean, I didn’t notice a protective film on it, but that’s a good shout, I will check again specifically for that.

You probably can't change it but there is a setting in the camera setup for resolution.... and thats to do with the screen its going to be displayed on.

I don't know under what circumstances your car might be built wrong like that, but its a possibility...

Thanks Fred, that’s certainly something to think about, and would be worth a mention if I take it in to be looked into.

My mk8 rear camera at night is awful and will also check if anything is on the lens as I haven't thought of that. I have also put this poor night time quality down to the fact the rear reverse lights are a small pathetic size compared to the larger lights I had on my previous car, therefore very little illumination.

Weird, mine is fine. Its hard to see much if you've got the brake lights on but ok otherwise.

I live in a road with no street lights and reverse out of the drive, can see perfectly well on my camera...
