Front cameras upside down

18BMWX5M · 11-21-2019, 09:00 PM

So I just bought a 2016 M4 comp and I was playing around and looked at the front two cameras and they are upside down. Like the right camera should be on the left and the left should be on the right side when they are activated. I don't have a picture of them. You think it's something I should bring back to the dealership or you think I can code it to be the right display.

It sounds as if someone got the connectors on backwards. Has the bumper been removed at some point?

It might have been I'm the newest owner so I'm not sure. Should I bring it to my dealer?

Whoever sold you the car should fix that for free.

Did you get a car history before buying? It could just be an error after a bumper paint refresh or the bumper might have been off for more serious reasons

Well I know it was involved in an accident it could have been when they put it back they didn't connect it right.

The cameras were likely removed and reinstalled on the wrong side of the vehicle after repairing/replacing the bumper cover. If you have ISTA+, run the ABL to allow the TRSVC to "learned in" the bumper cameras.

The other option is to swap the cameras but be careful the connectors (wire-side) are fragile and have a limited number of mating cycles.
