BMW Parking Camera

Dec. 24, 2025

Top image: This shows the top view and rearview as incorrectly displayed (swapped) . Also, the camera icon and vertical gray line is seen in the rearview camera image. Middle image: Here the images are displayed in the correct position. Bottom image: Example of a good rearview image.

BMW notes that some (rear view) parking assist camera systems may exhibit conditions as follows:
- Images for rear view camera and top view camera are swapped in the display.
- There is a vertical line noticed and/or camera icon is randomly located in the rearview image.
- Partial green border is seen around the image.
- Trailer hitch alignment line does not line up (offset).
- The screen is blank/black.
The issue may be caused by a software coding error in the ICAM control unit. Encode the ICAM control unit again after programming with ISTA 4.25.4x or higher. Multiple encoding of the ICAM control unit may be required.
