Does anyone know how to fix BMW X5 backup camera flickering? The car is out of warranty. I want to see if i can fix it myself. It's the exact same issue as the link below. Please help! Thanks

That happened to mine and the dealer fixed it by replacing something called a LVDS line for rear view camera - D6650 TRSVC000 90 401. Not sure how those numbers work just copied them off my work order. lol

My dealer fixed this under warranty also, but I also remember them saying something about a recall on the issue.

Actually i did call the dealer and they state no open recall =(

I've had mine in the shop 3 times for the same issue, but with a different camera. My problem camera is on the passenger door mirror. They've changed all kinds of cables and harnesses and I still have the problem.

I just had it "repaired" two weeks ago and I'm about to take it back. My last day under factory warranty is the 7th.

Mine started to do it today (flickering)......just on the rear view camera,
It's been a very very hot day, I will check it again early tomorrow to see if temperature could be an issue

UPDATE
Problem is gone, it seems that extreme temp is the problem, kinf of weird since it was not desert hot, it was just a hot sunny day, any camera and any car must tolerate extreme weather after all

When this happen again, just take iPhone pics and video of them.
And ask dealer to replace even if they can't replicate.

DFR, would you mind checking with your dealer what he did to resolve the problem? Was it the same LVDS line in your case too, as mentioned earlier here? Thanks!

I think so, I think they replaced the LVDS line. Again all work was covered by the dealer, but I was still under the bumper to bumper 4yr/50k warranty.
