mfeel Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hi guys! I have a little issue. During the night time, when it is dark, or in a garage and i put my car in reverse, why is my camera blue? I mean, on the screen it is sky blue and it is really really really hard to look at it. It takes approximatly 3 to 4 minutes to adapt and then it comes back to normal... Slowly but surely. Is there something wrong, a common issue or normal? I have the 8.4n. Thanks a lot, i appreciate. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 My 09 camera looks normal at night. Might have a camera issue starting up.. dhh3, jkeaton and mfeel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSquirrel Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I wouldn't think that normal. Most people would be in reverse for less than 30 seconds to back the car out. jkeaton, mfeel and dhh3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfeel Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 One time i just left it in reverse to see how much time it takes, and it took me up to 4 full minutes! So you guys think i should go see my dealership? My car is 3 months old!!! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 not normal take it back to the dealership since you are covered on the warranty. i really dont like the 10-15 second delay before the camera comes on it should be an instant thing... sometimes if i start it up and shift real quick the camera comes on before the warning does... i bet there is a way to disable the warning instructions. as the engineers that design stuff usually leaves a way to get rid of it.. jkeaton, dhh3 and mfeel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfeel Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Okay, i think i will take it. But i'd really like to know why is it that way... weird. Anyways thanks. And, is there a way to make my guided lines moving as i turn my steering wheel? Thanks! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No snarkiness intended, but it's that way because it's defective . . . . . and to answer the second question; no, there is no way to have dynamic guide lines - I have vehicles that do it both ways and personally don't miss the 'feature' at al on the Journey And while you are at the dealer you might want to ask that he make a product suggestion, which is that the camera should not switch off immediately on shifting out of reverse - I think it should stay on until the vehicle is shifted back to drive or into Park - or there might be a timer, a parameter that could be adjusted in the settings screen.

dhh3 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 At night, mine has a redish tint, but it has a clear picture. I think it is a reflection of the color of the car: Copperhead Pearl. mfeel and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 While I know we are talking 2 different FCA products my 2016 RA4 has software in place so I can select either static or dynamic guidelines plus the time delay for camera turning off after shift from reverse. mfeel, dhh3 and jkeaton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfeel Posted August 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 OK, so after a long talk with technicians they tested 3 other journeys in their dark underground garage and they were like mines, except they took about 5 to 6 seconds to adjust. Theyll reset a code i dont even know which one for the camera and theyll make sure its all ok. The blue screen is normal during night, especially if the car was in the sun earlier in the day. dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
