Rear Camera sometimes not coming up?

CincyG30 · 04-06-2023, 11:37 AM

Hello!

I've recently noticed that sometimes in my 2018 530ix that the rear camera does not show up when putting the car into reverse. When this happens, the screen comes up with the parking sensors on the left, but the right side is just black.

Has this happened to anyone else? known issue? Thanks!

I think was a known issue on the early g30s
I experienced this in my 2017 model 3 times. The third time was after the cars software was updated ( for something unrelated)
Never reoccurred afterwards though in 5 years

I have the same experience - with 2018 G31. I have had the car for less than a year now and it happened twice. For no apparent reason the signal from the rear camera disappeared and after a while - for no apparent reason - it reappeared. Have no clue what is the cause. Software update issue?
