Hey guys/gals, wanted to run this by you. My reverse camera guidelines appear to be off to the right. Been like this since I got it. Steering wheel is dead straight in this picture. Brought to dealer and rear camera was replaced which didn't help. Any ideas?
Just looking at the image as it sits in the 'frame' of the center stack, the camera appears to be slightly rotated to the left in the mount. Looking at the actual camera from the rear of the car, would be rotated to the right. Wonder if there is any minor adjustment that can be played with for whatever they use to mount it above the plate.

Dealership checked the mount when replacing the camera and everything was inline. I wonder if there is some way to just turn the guidelines off at this point.

This is from the 2015 Owner's Manual:
Guidance Lines
The RVC system may have a guidance line overlay that can help the driver align the vehicle when backing into a parking spot.
To turn the guidance lines on or off:
1. On the infotainment system, press the Settings screen button, or turn the MENU **** to highlight Settings and press MENU.
2. Select Rear Camera.
3. Select Guidance Lines and then select Off or On.
Ok. That probably explains it. On the UVJ cars there's a video processing module in the trunk. That's where your guidelines and a few other things come from. There's a calibration procedure for it. Unfortunately it's not a DIY thing. I'd even be surprised if your dealer could do it since it requires a ridiculously overpriced 'calibration mat'. I'm not sure if it's required equipment for them or not.
Anyway, either your video module is out of calibration, or something in your steering is off whack. There mechanical side of the steering is probably fine. It's just possible the sensors weren't calibrated after the last alignment or something.
So to sum it up, either the video module or one of the steering modules or sensors probably needs to be recalibrated.

I'm betting it's the video module, had steering sensor checked when it was in for it's last alignment which were in spec. Might have to try some dealers, too bad it's such a small nuisance but not a simple fix. I wonder if the video module can be replaced?
Thanks for the help and finally giving me some clarity on this.

The module can be replaced, but it has to be programmed....and calibrated.
I'm working on retrofitting one of those modules (and the front cameras) into my 2014. I can do the programming, but I don't know how I'm going to deal with the calibration step. It'll be a cold day in hell before I spend $500+ on a vinyl floor mat with some squares printed on it.
Reverse camera guidelines not straight
