While driving the vehicle during nighttime hours the dashlights and navigation screen will turn to daylight mode which then makes the truck headlights turn off (when in auto mod) and the navigation screen is too bright and distracts you when driving. The dash lights and navigation screen will randomly switch between daytime and night time mode when driving.

At night, when shifting into reverse gear and the backup cameras is activated, the system changes the center dashboard display screen from night brightness to full daytime brightness. If looking at the screen when this happens, night vision is lost by the glare. If not looking and in a dark area, it becomes impossible to see much of anything other than the display screen.

When you put the truck in reverse, the rear back up camera display is always extremely bright, regardless of the setting of the dimmer switch or automatic dimmer settings. This causes a safety issue at night when backing up, as the driver's night vision is completely diminished as soon as you put the truck in reverse.

Backup camera too bright for backiup at night while still needing to view side mirrors. It would be great to come up with a sliding "on screen" brightness control for immediate control over the backup camera on screen brightness. Way too bright for safety / still needing to view side mirrors.

The light for the backup camera is extremely bright and blinding at night. It blocks up your view of the camera and must be covered with a towel in order to see when backing at night. I spoke with general motors and was told that there is no fix.
