How to replace the screen inside the vehicle. The Arizona heat has eventually toasted the screen. Even adjusting the brightness. Can barely see when the backup camera comes on.

Yep, this is common, first, turn the instrument-panel illumination control all the way up and check the display's brightness/day-night settings. Also see whether the screen becomes brighter when the headlights are switched off. If the screen is still extremely dark but you can see the image when looking closely or shining a flashlight at it, that's a strong indication the LCD backlight or internal display electronics have failed.
