Anyone else thinks the rear view camera sux big time?
The problem is when using it at night or any shadows caused by the sun. Can't see shit. The car is amazing but I got the exec pac mainly for the camera. The camera on my Acura is so much better. Totally lights up everything at night. I had to tell my wife to guide me back into the small garage because it was too dark for the damn camera.

I got the Euro rear fog light coded on in my car, pretty cool, and it actually helps a bit to light up the rear when reversing - might help you too.

Haven't had a problem at night yet but have noticed bad glare during certain times of the day.

Where did you buy the switch? I believe that is needed.

Best camera I have seen. My '15 GTI is decent, my '15 Escalade complete junk. My '15 m4 is awesome. They always have been also on my previous M5

Nope you do not need the switch although having a lighted version would be nice - you can buy them from Europe but overpriced. There is a mod thread in here (by EAS or another sponsor) which shows you how to do the really basic fix to the switch already installed in your car. The switch has a couple of tabs that simply need to be removed with an Xacto or similar blade - super simple mod beyond the coding of course. Probably could design a simple LED switch but you also get a light in your dash when these lights are turned on - neat!
