Question Rear view camera problem

Well, this is odd - My reverse camera seems to have stopped working today.

As you can see from the picture, there driving lines and object warnings appear but the image from the camera isn't coming through.

Radar works.

Brightness/Contrast have been checked and aren't the issue.

It's not a case of low-light either.

I've hit and the best I could find were a couple of people with X5's who had a similar issue but no resolution was posted.

Anyone come across this before? Any help is appreciated.

Is there something blocking the camera?

If not, it may be a dead camera or a loose wire.

It may be time for a trip to the service department!

Camera isn't blocked or dirty. No fault codes coming up either on my OBD key or the OBC .

I hope service can sort it without sitting on the car for too long.

Wonder if it's a fuse?

Will have to open up the fuse box and take a look. I'm hoping the fuse for the camera is located in the trunk section, it'll be easier to get to.
