issue Backup camera with weird yellow tint? normal?

pastduedate · February 13, 2014

I too have yellow tint on the back up camera display. Don’t notice it on our 2010 Terrain. And the display is defiantly not HD, with or without bifocals on. I was curious, I basically only have experience with this camera in snow. White on white on white. Now, the other owners experiencing this problem, is it more noticeable on the sunny days? Are those having problem in the same situation of one solid light color, like snow or for the lucky ones, sand? Thanks for your thoughts.

Mine just has a horrible picture, low resolution or something.

After taking it to the dealer, they agreed that it was not normal and have ordered a new camera. I'll be taking the truck in when it comes in to replace.

I thought it was as good as it got. So they are supposed to have a nice clear resolution? Mine looks really really bad. Like worse that 240p on youtube bad.

My issue isn't the resolution. It's the yellow tint that shows up in low lighting. I posted a link to a picture I took if you haven't seen it.

I'm sure the dealer can replace it thought if your resolution is really that bad...

I'm sure the dealer can replace it though if your resolution is really that bad...

Yeah it has the tint too, but the resolution kills me. One overshadows the other I suppose. Cant wait to get off work and go home so I can get the darn thing in, to address it's issues. 18 more days!

I bet if you go to Advance Auto Parts and buy a $ 100 vehicle back up camera and install it, the picture on the screen will not be yellow.

I haven't noticed any issues with color or picture quality in my truck.

Its not a HD video camera guys.....

Has the dealer replaced your camera yet? If so, did they fix the issue? I hate the camera in the '14s. I had an 07 with a camera attached to the OGM1 HU and it was beautiful. It's as if this camera was designed for a small rear view mirror screen and not the new MyLink.

Thats what Im comparing to. My last truck had it in the mirror, which i know will result in a nicer picture.. It was the quality of my GoPro2! But you'd think they would use a better camera for the bigger screen.

Try "cheaper camera" instead.

@portsider They haven't called me to let me know that its in yet...I'll have to call them tomorrow and schedule an appointment with them.

@pastduedate My yellow tint comes from light especially in the night time. If there's a street lamp, a building light, or other vehicle lights..... they show all yellow including whatever is reflecting off of that light. The snow doesn't show white for me...just when there is light reflecting off of it.

My camera was clear as a bell for the first month I owned the truck. Now everything is tinted yellow or glaring yellow. Pretty much unusable. Cleaning the lens does not help.
