Trailer tow camera feature
So, reading through various BMW press releases, I see that the rear view camera has a zoom mode. Apparently it zooms in on the trailer hitch ball for easier hitching. Very cool. Wonder if it displays a warning on the video screen if you have a non-OEM hitch?

Does anybody know how to engage this feature? I just had the hitch installed and programed but I can't find any trailer specific options or the Zoom feature. Did my dealership not perform the coding?

trailer tow camera
put the car in reverse so the camera is on. press the idrive knob down and the options for the camera will appear on the screen. there will be one for trailer hitch near the bottom. if it's not there, the dealer did not program it properly.

It even projects a green line on the screen so you can line right up to the tongue without even trying hard. Great feature.

Seattle area - camera zoom mode help needed
Dealer in Bellevue WA does not know how to activate this zoom mode .. they suggested I talk to BMW North America and ask them if my 2012 has this feature ... anyone in the Seattle area who can help me with this? I'm seriously thinking about doing hte coding myself, with the software and instructions I found in this forum ... even though I did not see any mods that mentioned this feature.

I found this infor here: BMW ConnectedDrive: Rear View Camera
It clearly shows a hitch symbol as the last option in the vertical menu on the left of the screen. When I connected the trailer what I found is the same symbol, only much bigger somewhere on the right hand side of the screen, It's not clickable though. BTW, I had an Execuhitch installed, I'm really happy with the way it looks on my car, no cutouts, very clean, I haven't towed yet.

I found out that the 2010 X5 doesn't have the zoom feature, for some reason. I went in after the hitch install to tell them that the zoom feature wasn't there, and was told that this feature was not in the software for the 2010s. Not sure why. Now if I could just get a volume shut-off for the distance sensor when in reverse, that would be great.
