^finally, progress...

not from BMW, but something.

I just picked up my X5 4.8 and wow.. its a great car.. but what a shitty camera, coming from Lexus lx470.. wow what a dissapointment for a BMW

as sad as it sounds this is normal.. bmw should be ashamed of this camera, i came from a lexus product and it was crystal clear.

I just got my 08 X5 4.8i.. and wow, this is one awesome car.. but BMW really cheaped out on the camera.. the PDC is nice but camera is useless.. looks worse than the VGA cell phone camera...

The camera is so messed up, at night you see nothing because its so blurry.
When it rains you cant see anything. After a good wash and some polish the camera runs good (Don't know why).

the camera lens needs cleaning as recommended by the manual but so does every other vehicle and they turn out just fine regardless, don't they? So frustrating...

who needs backup cam when you can twist and stretch your abs looking back with your eyes lol

Good for you if you could stretch your head out the back window to see what's behind the car, and lower than the tailgate.
I'll stick to my camera.

hehe, yeah i admit the infiniti electronics are better but man, the interior designs looks horrendous IMO.

i thought EPS (extra sensory perception), comes standard with every bmw driver... :D
