Default Backup Camera

I tried searching for this topic in this forum but I can't seem to find it. I don't think my backup camera is straight. I get the blue lines inside the white lines and yet I still park crooked. Anyone else have this problem?

You get the blue lines inside the white line? I don't believe I have white lines, just blue and red.


I don't like to soley rely on using the backup camera, I usually use my mirrors and then the backup camera just to check how close I am to the wall/object behind me.

Mine is crooked, I plan to get it fixed during 10k service which won't be for a while

I would imagine it would be a rather quick fix, just a quick reprogram. Keep us posted on the details.

I think the OP is referring to the white painted parking lines.

OMG I thought it was just me. I can't seem to park straight either LOL. I read it's just an estimate and I'm not sure any sort of adjustment is going to make it absolutely perfect.
