Question Overhead Camera View Bias

For those of you who have the Panoramic View Monitor option have you noticed that when parking there is a bias in the overhead camera view. By bias I mean what you see in the overhead view does not translate accurately to the actual situation. When parking our RX and using the overhead camera view which shows the parking striping is equally spaced on both sides, that is not the case and our driver's side always has more space the passenger's side. Are others experiencing the same bias and have you taken to your Lexus Service Department where they were able to correct the bias? Thanks.

mine is good, i use it often, (forward with full car view ??)
does the flyover show the same thing or just the front view ??
from the mirrors, is that off too ?? where it shows the curbs (say in drive, push camera button, front view, push it again, mirrors, put vehicle in park, press for flyover, )

Mine also seems to be pretty good. Checked today and the distance to the parking lines seems to be right on.

All of the various views you've mention exhibit the same bias.

Yesterday I picked-up our 450h for a failed ABS actuator replacement (occurring at just over 4K miles) and spoke with the Service Consultant whom told me that like many of the sensors it is likely a calibration issue (because when owners damage and have to have their side mirrors replaced they calibrate them) and he'll get back to me as I had to leave for an appointment elsewhere.
