360 camera/backup camera/front camera not appearing

2013 GL550 with the 360 camera. When I reverse the car the reverse camera image should appear in the command unit and when I set the car to drive, the front camera image should appear up to until 20 miles per hour. 360 degree camera should also be displayed when in reverse or drive (up to 20 miles per hour). I checked the settings tab for the backup camera and the backup camera is checked when the vehicle is put into "R" (reverse). Today, when I was leaving a parking lot, the command unit showed blank (black) images for the 360 camera, front camera, and reverse camera. This happened multiple times during driving and also pulling into the garage. I posted videos (shown here):


and


Has anyone had this issue?

I have. When ambient is very hot, it happens intermittently. Quick power cycle fixes mine and everything starts working!
