OEM Trailer Hitch Camera Zoom not working X3 LCI

rudyv1 · 03-13-2021, 01:37 PM

I've had the OEM trailer hitch installed and it has been retrofitted/code in ISTA+ and everything seems to be working great except that I cannot get the Camera Zoom function to work when in reverse. The option is completely missing from the iDrive menu.

This is for a 2017 X3 LCI model.
The vehicle has the latest dealer software programming version as well.

Thanks for your help

I enabled it via e-sys on my 2011.
HU_CIC 3000 > Macro_trailer_coupling = Aktiv

Does anyone know if this coding is required on an NBTevo head unit (iDrive 6.0) ?

What value is your Macro_trailer_coupling set to?
If I press the parking button on the center console, or when in reverse, I can then select trailer view from the idrive menu (needs to be in rear view not top view). Note: I don't have a hitch installed. I use it when backing into a parking space to see where the parking line is for the rear bumper LOL...
