PDR image
Anyone else experiencing dash reflection in the PDR image? I have jet black interior, and in almost all light conditions the reflection from the dash is prominent on the PDR. It simply ruins the quality of any video from the PDR.

I have seen reflection as well. I'm not sure I would say it ruins the video but it is there. I read someplace if you put some sort of polarized filter/film over the camera eye it is supposed to help. Not sure if this is true or not.

Can anybody post a photo of this? I don't think I've ever seen this issue on any of the YouTube videos I've watched.
I'm trying to understand what you're talking about, and a picture is worth a thousand words.

I too have a black interior and use the PDR as a dashcam and have nothing like this problem. The camera seems to be at different angles in other videos I've seen. Why not post a screen shot showing your problem?

Yeah, there’s nothing much wrong with that. It is what it is. You have a long horizontal windshield and based on the shadows, it looks like the sun is directly overhead. You are driving looking through the same window with the same dash reflection just fine. There’s no engineering that can account for the sun pointed straight down on your dash. It could be ALOT worse: you could have a Natural Dipped interior with a tan dashboard. No thanks.
