I had the same problem, once. After I've shutdown and restarted the car, the problem went away and has not been back since.

Same here, I've had it once this morning.
What I find a bit spooky is that I had never seen it, read this thread yesterday and boom, this morning I experienced it for the first time... :-)

If it starts repeating I will also take it to the dealer and print a copy of this thread to show them that this is not unique.

And in the future be very careful about the threads you choose to read...:rofl:

How I wish I had never read this thread. Almost immediately after reading it my brand new (1 week old) X5 4.8 got the map screen of death in reverse mode. Then the screen went black for 10 minutes before the computer reset and everything went back to normal (restarting car did not help).

This is like a bad horror movie!

let's hope it does not happen again

Wow, that's hilarious! We have two members now that have experienced this problem since my OP :rofl:

I've been having the exact problem! My car has been in the shop for over a week now as my rear camera has done a few wierd things lately. I've had issues with the rear camera before and they've replaced, changed the CCC unit and it was ok for a few months until recently it started to blank out, put itself into test mode which shows a bunch of colors, and finally, it goes into Dual Nav mode showing two maps.

The dealer opened a PUMA case and I e-mail them pictures of what happens. So far, they said the techs in both Germany and SC are stumped.

I'll keep you guys posted as to what the fix is....

I'm the OP and in my case, it seems to have gone away after the original occassions when it did it twice.
