360 Front Camera replacement

sasaman · 03-12-2024, 07:17 PM

Hi guys,

My front camera has been cracked, I bought the new one hoping it was plug and play, but after connecting it I'm getting black front camera view with "camera failure" message. I'm thinking it requires some coding? Is it possible to do it with Bimmer Code app?

I bought an OEM replacement off eBay when my front camera cracked. Got same error you have. Car was still under warranty at the time so told the dealer about it and they replaced/coded at no charge. I couldn’t find the front camera coding to correct it.

Thanks, I don't know what to do.

I checked with BimmerLink and it says that camera needs to be trained. Is there anything what I can do without a dealer here?

I also had the same. I bought 2 cameras that both gave that issue. Then I bought a third that matched the part number of the cracked one precisely, and it worked.
