| Description of the problem | The navigation system overrides the safety backup camera with messages when the car is in reverse. This is very dangerous since the navigation system can display a message on the screen and completely obscure the backup camera display while backing up. This happens every time i start my car and begin to backup. The backup camera comes on when i put the car in reverse but as i'm backing up, the navigation system displays messages from my bluetooth phone connection and i can't see what is behind me via the backup camera. Nothing should override the backup camera when the car is in reverse. |
