Disabling back up camera
Is there a way? I'm old school, first car with a back up camera. I just can't use it most of the time. Backing into my driveway at night, in the dark, it's so damn bright inside the car, I can't see anything outside! Call me nuts, but it is what it is...lol

I am having the same issue with my new CTS4. Taping the camera is not an option for me because I utilize the BUC, just hate the night backup for my 65' driveway. don't think that there is a practical fix for this...

Yes, exactly. My driveway is over 100 feet. And I'm kinda in the woods so not much light until I near the garage

Hang a piece of cloth over the screen while you're backing up.

My garage doors face the side of my house, at a right angle to the driveway. There are usually two other vehicles parked at the end, so nowhere to turn around and I always back in the garage.
It's annoying just about anywhere in the dark.

I don't know. I've got a 1/4 mile driveway, and can pretty easily back down it at night. Probably not at speed, but You could do it. I think the back up camera is pretty good.
Or, you could install a turntable like Batman did in the Batcave?

For my wife it's useless. Even after widening the garage door, she refuses to park inside the garage. She won't even use the car port.
