Surround View Cameras Alignment

3X3=5 · 04-25-2018, 02:08 PM

Car is the dealer for some maintenance and as long as it's in I mentioned that the surround view doesn't align correctly. As you can see the curb isn't a straight line at all. My service advisor said they checked it out and it's normal. I find that hard to accept. My last X5 (E70 with top view) was perfectly aligned and the loaner 3 series I have now is too.

Looking for comments or pics of other owners surround view by comparison because the dealer says they checked it against another F15 and it's similar. Thanks in advance.

My 2016 X5 surround view doesn't look like that. It puts everything together properly and the curb from the right side camera would be aligned with the front and rear cameras. I have no idea how, or if, it can be adjusted.

This is from my 2014 X5, My front camera are getting a little pitted so quality is not so great but as you can see it not all that straight from the side camera but compaired to the front and rear. but compared to yours the front camera appears to be more crooked/misaligned then the rear as to the side camera.

Thank you everyone for the replies. Sounds like the alignment of the cameras varies quite a bit. I requested that the foreman give his opinion on it, if I hear back that there is a way to adjust it I'll post the solution.

Well first off there is a calibration (at least what I've seen covered in this forum several times before) however I've only seen it talked about with regards to the dealer doing this calibration and not the owners.
