I don't keep track of this kind of stuff so I was wondering if the number of bulletins is normal for a car like this.

LI54.65-P-059114 MAY14 – 212 Surround View (code 501) produced up to 7/14; 222 code 501 up to 5/20/14; 166 code 501 up to 7/14 at night picture from camera in display on head unit can appear too dark, software update with optimized parameters is available.

AppleFan1

I imagine this relates to the back-up camera at night. I know that mine is quite dark and difficult to see much on the screen. Is this what this bulletin pertains to?

konigstiger

No, 360 Sound View System

AppleFan1

Thanks! Do you know if there will be a fix for the rather dark looking back-up camera view at night? I suppose this has to do with the back up lights not being bright enough.

BadMojo

Finally! Great to hear that this update is out. So US dealers should be able to perform this fix now? I'd love to schedule a service visit this week.

Considering the fix in question is for the Surround View option and the backup camera is really a subset of that feature, I'd imagine there to be a fix for those with just the backup camera.

AppleFan1

I also have the 360 Surround View option. I guess, I have not studied this feature well enough at night. In any case, it's nice to know that a software update is available.

gotwire

Do you know which side ventilation this refers to? I have cracking noises from B pillar area. Thanks!

konigstiger

058924 addresses side vents in dash. I would suggest having shop foreman ride along to identify noise.

BadMojo

FYI - just got my car back from the shop. The image is INFINITELY better than before at night. It actually makes the feature usable. If you happen to be in darker areas a lot, I highly recommend bringing the car in for the software update. Overall, very pleased that this has been addressed.

gotwire

Is yours a 14 or a 15 MY? I took my 15 and they said no update until August?

Thanks!

AppleFan1

Thanks! I'm going to have to check this out with the dealer. So, it could be the surround view system that is causing the dark image at night instead of the lack of enough light from the tail lights?
