360 Rear camera too dark
seems like there is a software fix now for the dark rear view camera at night ( at least for the S-class).
LI54.65-P-059114 MAY14 – 212 Surround View (code 501) produced up to 7/14; 222 code 501 up to 5/20/14; 166 code 501 up to 7/14 at night picture from camera in display on head unit can appear too dark, software update with optimized parameters is available.

Resurrecting an old thread here-I had this done today on my 2015 GL and it made a huge difference at night. I can now back down my pitch-black driveway and see what's behind me on the screen! My SA, who is an great guy and has always done me right, said he checked with the shop who said it would not be applicable and probably not do anything, but I said I wanted it anyway.
Glad I did. It was worth the software update fee, even though some have argued it should have been covered under warranty, since it came out a couple of months after the car was off the assembly line.
So if you're in doubt, get this bulletin done if you cannot see from your 360 camera at night (LI54.65-P-059114).
