2, rear camera are extremely dark after 6pm or 7pm when getting darker outside , all most cannot see anything , and mirror doesnt not work very well too , so basically everytime do reserve with guessing , never can see anything behind, any help on it ?

3, steering wheel gets vibrate , but not shaking , i mean you can feel inside with spring tension something always vibrate when speed reach 30 and above. not sure what is going on , is normal or ?

The Vibration issue could be due to your brakes, allot of people are having problems with the brakes in the 450 and 550 so that is one thing you could look at, for the camera I think you can adjust the brightness in the settings but it will still be somewhat hard to see.
