FYI, each camera has a single multiconductor coax cable running to it. This cable includes video signaling and power. It's a fairly well designed waterproof connector with a sealing ring to keep out water.
The underdash module has a spot for each camera to connect and a multi pin amphenol plug for power, canbus and video signals to Idrive unit. That's about it for the wiring in this camera system.

I am going through this problem right now - I bought a 2013 F30 a few days a go and realized this error was popping up even though the camera is OEM factory fitted for the model. However, my trunk was a carboin fiber after market. First they tried to reinitialize (code) all the sensors/camera again saying this was because whoever changed the lid didnt do it. Cost = $85
The next day the same error popped up - another auxilary problem with this error are the rest of the sensors, especially the lane assist/blind spot detection eitehr stop working or start going off even when there is no car around me. So I took it in and now they are saying it is because the bracket that holds the camera in the trunk is broken or lose and everytime i hit a bump or close the trunk, the camera goes out of calibration causing all sensors to go heywire as well. As such, they want me to pay them $500 to fit in a new bracket and foil some part of my carboon fiber lid so they can successfully hold the camera in spot. I am thinking of picking the car up and working it out my self but i thought i'd let you guys know. Considering that you have a retrofit, i am guessing the bracket is not holding the camera in spoit. N if anyone can help me with my ordeal - plz reach out!!! I literally jsut bought this car and dont have the money or time to take this on right now. |

I'm having this issue too on my F22 2016 M235i xdrive. this vehicle only has the rear backup camera. it's only 7 months old and i started having this issue in May where the camera would start to work then flicker to a black screen or it would flicker a green screen (like changing the inputs on one's tv) or would be frozen on a still frame. I've had to return to the dealer three times now and it looks like i'll be coming back a forth time.
The first time, I was told the camera module needed to be replaced (66539240351), but i had to return since it was nearing memorial day weekend and the part could not be sourced in time. I returned a couple of weeks later and the new camera was installed. but the very next day, i had the same error. this time, techs first tried to see if it was software related, which it was not. a new control module (66539393953) was installed, but the error persisted. now i'm waiting for the cable/wiring harness, which isn't available until later this month. can anyone say what ultimately was the cause? wiring/cable harness? due to corrosion? also, does anyone have the part number to the cabling/harness? |

Actually I had this problem again 2 months ago. I took it to a dealership and they said it's because of corrosion of the wires. They replaced all the cameras and wires under warranty. Let's see how long it's gonna last this time... |

It's moisture related. Causing intermittent connections and a short/ overcurrent.
Error Likely a red herring the front bumper cameras are the most prone. Remove screws holding flap between wheel well and bumper... push tab on harness that connects to side view camera and disconnect harness. Use hairdryer to remove moisture. Reconnect harness and refasten flap. Repeat for other side. Reconnect and test cameras. This is after dealer tried to fix 5 times. 4 years in a row. Acts up every time when weather changes. Dealer is giving me excuses after car gets into extended warranty period. Decided to fix it myself instead. |

I am getting this same error along with one that states "No Parking Assistance, Please park unaided, Parking assistance deactivated due to a temporary external fault"
The dealer has already done software updates and cannot seem to find out what all these errors are about, nor is any code left behind. Going back to the dealer next month to have it looked at again.

Word of the wise, water proof the two front cameras with Dielectric grease. These two are notorious for water intrusion. The other three are not so bad. The front two will cause shorts if not water proofed.

My 2013 F30 with 29k miles just started having this issue. Of course it's out of warranty and since all of the camera's work fine IMO it's not worth going to the stealership.
Since i've done quite a bit of coding does anyone know if there are codes available to disable these "malfunction" checks on the cameras similar to how i disabled the light checks for the LED turn signal lights? |

No way to disable warning messages through coding.

Thanks for sharing this information!!
Our 2014 wagon, that we've had since new, started doing this during the damp months a couple of years ago. It goes from side view errors to errors on all cameras. Last spring the left side view camera stopped showing a picture. At which point I pulled the connector, left it open in dry sunny weather, reconnected it and all was well for a while. While this winter has been fairly dry, it was damp enough to bring back the warnings. I just pulled both side view connectors and really only the left one had any visible corrosion, and just on one of the pins. Disconnecting the front view cameras was enough to stop the others from generating any errors. Further evidence that this likely is just a single bad connection that's causing errors on all the cameras. The single pin was easy enough to clean up, but given that it's inside an otherwise clean coax connector, I have to wonder if the moisture isn't getting in via the cable itself. I've put it all back together and added a more than a bit of dialectic grease on the connector seal. If it comes back, I'll dry things out again and will add some heat shrink around the harness leading up the the connector. I'll follow up if/when it comes to that. |

Had this issue on my new to me 335i. Dealer fixed under CPO warranty by replacing right side camera and the wiring harness. Said there was corrosion in the cable connector. Hopefully it lasts a long time, but if not, I’ll try to clean up the corrosion myself and use a little dielectric grease when refitting. I wonder if regular camera use will help keep corrosion at bay? Not sure.
Cost of the fix stated by dealer was $1,100. Grateful for the warranty in this case! |
