Every time it rains my 2017 CX-9 backup camera is useless because there are water droplets all over it. Tried Rainex but no difference. HELP?
The rain drops are bad enough.
The lens flare is what kills me. Backing up in any direction facing the sun is pretty much impossible.
One of the big misses.
Wow. I didn't realise this. Do you have any photos to show us please (uhm) Would like to see them so I can try and compare.
I'll see what I can capture, but given the local weather it might be a couple of days
I'm not sure if it is due to the angle the camera is at (capturing more of the sun than it might), the elevation the sun is currently at in the morning/evening (winter time in New England), or just bad optics.
I've adjusted the brightness, contrast, and saturation settings on it to no avail. I'm getting much better at using my mirrors again
FWIW - I've used backup cameras in an '11 Honda Pilot, '12 Acura MDX, '14 and '17 Grand Cherokees in the same and similar situations with no problems.
That's usually something (the overexposure) that can be helped with a software update. Please report it to Mazda.
Thank you
Maybe it's just your camera. Try and see if you can borrow a dealer CX-9 and see if it's the same
