Backup camera angle/view has changed????
Today when I went into reverse to backup the camera angle had changed? It is showing me my license plate and not a lot of the 'back' area? It may be a coincidence but I did a 'software' update yesterday(maps) and so today this quirk shows. I cannot believe a map update would do this? but could it?
Is there a way to adjust the angle? is there a way of changing the view so that not so much of the 'down' area is showing?

Double check that the camera lens didn't pop out.

this is the view
This is my 'view' on the back up camera. Maybe I'm just getting senile.....but I do not remember seeing my license plate ?????? in the view before??? I know the camera is a 'fixed' camera so it has not changed. Just wondering if 'software' can be adjusted so as not to show the 'bottom' part(license plate).

I see my Plate is in the view and as far as I can remember it was always in view.
Have not done any updates and your view looks like it's normal to me and, looks the same as what I see in mine.
I will say though, just the other day I noticed the Plate and thought, has that always been in the view ?
But, I'm also always looking at the lines in the view, or surrounding objects in the view as I'm backing up.

Not to high-jack this thread, but does anyone else feel the camera misleads you on how much space you have side to side? When I am backing up I get uncomfortably close to things on the back corner, either side. I don't really trust the camera unless I am looking for something directly behind me, within a few fee of the bumper.

Seeing the license plate is normal. You should always see part of the plate. I have noticed some show a little more than others, but what you show in your picture is normal.

Ever since I bought my ‘14 I have seen the license plate when the rear view camera is activated. What yours is showing looks normal to me.
