A couple of years ago, I installed an aftermarket backup camera controlled by one of the cheap ebay modules. No matter what settings I coded, the camera would not work, even though many posters with AT had no problems with the same unit. Eventually, I bit the bullet and retrofit an OEM PDC module and rear bumper sensors. To my surprise, the backup camera then began working fine.

Just a thought
That's very interesting...A few people on the F30/32 forum with manual transmissions can not get the dynamic parking lines to function. It seems to be related to the difference in wiring for rear camera activation. Manuals need a trigger from the reverse light to activate the camera, where I believe the automatics use the canbus for reverse sensing.
