It is best to find old threads on this for further discussion as it is difficult to keep everyone focused on the precise issue rather than some other variants or permutations.

yeah I noticed that too. When you said 'the broken camera switching method', I was thinking in terms of thinking you all had a workaround fix that didn't involve coding.

My engineering life and life in general has overwhelmingly proven that problems not taken to root cause come back to seriously bite you eventually. What worries me is that we don't know the root cause of the delay in activation of the fix coding.

Ok, ok, well, when software is changed, it takes a while to compile so could it be that the processors in the cars multiple puters each need time to do this? I can imagine that they are not the fastest guns in the west and even though most may not have been impacted by a code change, they are all told to compile anyway? Dunno, I'm sort of discounting what I'm writing as I write it Why am I even trying to figure this out??? |

Where would I find how to code this? I found the instructions from aSLA, but not the others. Thank you |

I definitely enjoyed the way it worked before on the 7 and 5. Maybe some of you already know this. It sticks to rear view if you activated the camera by putting the car in reverse (but you can manually select A view to change how it functions), I guess the logic is if you selected R then you should be paying attention to the rear and who cares about going forward , and since you are reversing, and not necessarily parking, the front probably isn't much of a concern; BUT if you activated the camera by pressing the autoPark button (the logic is if you are parking, especially parallel parking, you'd probably need to see both front and rear), then the view will be locked on A and it'll show front or rear depending on D or R gear. |

It's annoying, but a sound logic how they function now. I have 03/2020, so maybe they changed it on this version? |

Just press autoPark instead of selecting R to active the cameras, or once in reverse, manually select A view. Annoying but a sound logic |

BMW's sound logic is: R means reversing, and not necessarily parking, the front probably isn't much of a concern, because after reversing, you'll probably be driving off while your eyes would be up front and facing the open road; and you CAN activated the camera by pressing the autoPark button (the logic is if you are parking, especially parallel parking, you'd probably need to see both front and rear), then the view will be locked on A and it'll show front or rear depending on D or R gear. That's annoying, but sound |

This so called "lack of automatic camera switch" is untrue. The auto view can be switched 1, by pressing the autoPark button, or 2, by selecting the A view when the cameras were activated with the R gear. |
