M340i backup camera recall

I got a recall for the back up camera, but I feel like it might be the detune people have been talking about.

It's for the camera. I got one for my 330i too. Something about the display settings can be set to where the image isn't visible which violates NHTSA safety standards.

There is no detune. It is FakeNews

Back up camera recall? Detune? https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1684390

Why would they de-tune the car? BMW has always underestimated hp figures. The speedos are always a couple mph fast too

The new M3 is going to be a beast. No worries the m340 will outperform. For 99% of the street use the M340i is a well balanced car

So after the safety recall firmware update for Camera, the software update is now 11/2019.40 for me.

About the rear camera, the field of view is now way further away and the parking lines are no longer close to the vehicle, you see a more the zoomed out view of the vehicle along with the surrounding peripheral view. Maybe the main back-up camera display also stitches some of the view from the side cameras.

The animation for the Microphone when saying 'Hey BMW' is back to grey

The software update disables your personal activation word from the Personal assistance. In other words you can no longer nickname your car.

Hi,

I think the software version depends on when you had recall applied. I got it done in September & have v 2019/07.70

Actually I made a mistake, when you logon as guest profile, certain items were not setup initially, therefore not all functions work.

I swapped keys for service, but when you logon with my personal key, yes everything and settings remain the same, including the Personal Assistant nickname.

Just the camera angle is zoomed out more and rear parking lines appear further away.
