Here’s an odd ‘issue’: Reflection in rear window…

[MileHigh]

Does anyone notice that at night, in a dark environment that the infotainment screen gets reflected back you- so when you look in the review mirror, you see a reflection in the rear window. The freaky thing is that the screen image is ‘right’ in that your seeing the reflection in the rear window in the review mirror, so it double reversed. I think it is so evident in the IG because the rear window is perfectly flat and perpendicular to the ground. So the image is right there. Freaks me out when I’m driving at night. I wonder if it is mainly a seat and driving position that makes it so apparent to me. It is like a heads-up display, but rear looking….

Already have some tape over the air bag warning lights. Those are way to bright for driving in the country at night.

It use to bug me, less so now.

If affects RHD cars as well.

Not an odd issue, the same occurs in so many other commercial vehicles and machinery with large lcd screens at night working in unlit areas. I

In certain remote parts of Australia, your headlights or those of other cars many kilometers away can cause similar issues.

When traveling along the remote Barkley Highway in the Northern Territory late one night I thought someone was tailgating me, so I pulled over. Nothing passed me, it was actually a car’s headlights from many kilometers away. It looked like they were about 10 metres behind me tailgating. It was a single light, but as the car got closer, I could see two lights – it was quite strange the first time I experienced it.

The other is seeing headlights coming towards you but no car ever passes you. It is your spotlights hitting multiple street signs in the distance. Again it happened in a remote location with very dark skies.

Wolfbox or similar solves the issue.
