Problem generally occurs after opening and closing the trunk so one of the mechanics thinks it might be a design/mechanical issue. Who knows?
Can I ask if you Have done any coding yourself on this vehicle or enabled any additional features through hacks, usb or otherwise etc?

Anyone got any advice on how to activate retrofitted Reversing Camera

Added 3AG to vehicle VO using e-sys and coded DKOMBI, Headunit & BDC but not seeing PDC or PMU Module to code.

The software update option in iDrive is for the idrive system only. Does not upgrade any other module in the car.

Take it in and let the dealer check for you.

Thank you Steve in AZ and Ashan. That is what it was with my i3. The back hatch was not completely closed.

I also had this issue once on my car with soft close and PDC features. But it was not related with unclosed hatch. It probably is a software issue. I'll take the car to dealer tomorrow for maintenance. Which update should I tell them to install?
