Rear camera image quality.

[Carlosfandango]

Why is the rear camera image so poor on my 8.5? Is it ‘normal’? Are others experiencing the same?, the front and side cameras on the area view system are (although not amazing) a much better image. Just wondering if it’s worth taking it in or not? Id rather not have to tbh!

I’ve just got the standard (not area view) rear view camera and it’s perfectly clear. Do you still get the actual ‘rear view’ from the boot badge with yours?

Yes, thought I’d included a picture!🤦‍♂️ the image is worse than it looks in the picture here, no sharp outlines at all, very mottled in fact. The side and front images are much better.

Maybe with the larger (higher resolution?) screen in the mk8.5 Golf, the resultant image just appears poorer than on previous generation cars.

I thought that may be the case too, as I did read some similar comments somewhere else on here, (couldn’t find that thread). But, the front and side images are much sharper,, and when it wasn’t flickering 🤨 the Mk8 camera image was much like the quality of the front camera on the 8.5, so presumably it cannot simply be the resolution, odd that the image cannot be adjusted any more either?!

Mine has area view and I haven’t noticed it being poor quality. Will check it out tomorrow and report back.

Thanks, it’s just the REAR image on my car that is suspect, the front and side images are fine.

The rear camera view in my 8.5 seems OK..

Here are a couple of images from my car.

Thanks for that @sipj, your picture definitely looks better than mine, which also has a strange movement around the outer 1/4 of the image, much like rippling water.
