2 Answers
The method to adjust the reversing camera guide lines on a BMW is as follows: 1. First, activate the reversing camera interface, turn the iDrive knob to the left, and select the menu bar on the left side of the reversing camera interface; 2. Rotate the iDrive to select, then press the iDrive to open the guide line function for adjustment. BMW models include: BMW 3 Series, BMW 7 Series, BMW X5, BMW X1, BMW 1 Series, etc. Taking the BMW 5 Series 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5106 mm, width 1868 mm, height 1500 mm, and the wheelbase is 3105 mm.
In my previous BMW, adjusting the reversing camera guidelines was straightforward—just enter the settings menu on the central display, select the Parking and Maneuvering section, and find the reversing camera settings. There, an option allows you to toggle or modify the angle and color of the guidelines, and the whole process takes less than a minute. I remember when I first got the car, I noticed the guidelines were misaligned and immediately went to adjust them. They help judge distances more accurately and prevent scratches. If the screen appears blurry or lags, first check if the camera lens is clean, as rain or dirt can affect the image. I personally prefer the dynamic guidelines, which change with the steering wheel’s movement—especially useful in tight parking spots. The operation is simple and intuitive, suitable for all drivers’ daily use. Just try it a few times, and you’ll get the hang of it.
