KAFAS and camera errors help

Hey all, recently I started getting the annoying bmw chime whenever the 360 camera activates (Going into reverse or pressing the camera button) and a dash light has the camera icon with "Camera System" text. All cameras work perfectly fine and all exterior sensors/cams are clean.

The consistent codes that always come back are:
KAFAS: 800AC5 window heating short circuit
CA8C00: Top view camera on right does not respond
CA8C01: Top view camera on left does not respond
CA8C02: Side view camera on right does not respond
CA8C04: Rear view camera does not respond

Without consistency it will throw the above codes along with "Camera not taught"
(800BDE, 800BDF, 800BE0, 800BE1, 800BDD)
800B8F: side view camera left max permissible current exceeded

Very little online info for these errors, hoping somebody here has dealt with this and can help. My warranty expired 2 months ago so I prefer not to go through dealer.

Additional context: Started after outside temperatures dropped below 0. Have very small chip in windshield thats been filled but not near the kafas camera. Sometimes but rarely it wont throw any codes. 2015 M3 with 360 cam, no driver assistance package(blind spot monitor, lane keep etc).

To be honest easiest solution for you is just code out the faults you're having

If it's possible to disable the codes from coming back while keeping the cameras functional I think you're right. I'll look more into that thanks
