BMW Towing Packaged rear view camera questions
Hi folks.
I bought a 2013 x5d, it has the 3 camera "overhead view" option, the PO had the dealer install the factory hitch/harness/module. My question, I can't find any setting that changes the rear view to the "hitch" view. If I go in settings, it only gives me the option of the normal rear view or 3 cam overhead view. I did confirm the hitch module is installed and plugged in. What am I missing? |

I think it’s just the reverse cam view but doesn’t set off the reverse proximity sensors. I’ve also got factory harness and programming.

Can't imagine anyone would buy the harness/module just to silence the back up beeps |

Interesting. I wonder if I’ve just never noticed it’s zoomed in. I do recall it shows a picture of a trailer hitch. It’s been a year since I’ve towed though. When I finish replacing the oil pan gasket I’ll try it out.

Dealership might not have coded it properly or you need to switch the backup camera view .

I havent coded a module in years so a bit nervous about jumping into that rabbit hole but guess thats my next step, just wanted to verify what the rear cam actually does. |

Here you can find photos of the idrive screen. It is very useful when hooking up trailers which you can't move easily by hand. However, because the camera is not in-line with the hitch it is not perfect. |
