Camera System Unavailable?

[8pack-23 1]

Anyone else get a blue screen that says “camera system unavailable“ when the surround or parking cameras turn on? I got it intermittently today.

Only if you try to access this while in motion about 5 MPH. Later RJD

Is it just around 5 mph? Because I can access the cameras at speeds higher than that.

When I tried to access above 5mph it will not let me do it. I'll have to play with it more and see if I can get it to work as yours did. Later RJD

So I’m getting it when it auto-triggers the system pulling into my garage or near a building etc. Just kind of weird as it wasn’t an issue ever until yesterday.

I’m taking it in to have it looked at. Hopefully just software.

It happened to me one day I shut it off and walked away for 30 minutes....problem never happened again....I know its frustrating but dodge (stelantis) dont have great reputation in electronics for the cars and trucks...so as long as it comes back I wouldnt worrie

Just came back from driving mine. Camera will only stay on for 30 sec or less and I as diving at 45mph. Now if I pull into a parking space and hit the front camera it will stay on till parked then off when I shut the car off. Even my EV did the same thing. BTW hit 502 miles today now we can see what I can do. Later RJD

Had the techs look at it today at the dealership… they said they could log and see the codes from the computer, but not really anything they can do… been working fine all day today.

I thought the UConnect update was supposed to fix this … restarted car, restarted radio, park, reverse, park, reverse…. Nothing it’s gone.

 

[aceinspp133 163]

There is suppose to be a recall out to fix. No one can say if it is OTA or if you have to take it in. I have not got the notice in the mail yet. Later RJD

So that wasn’t the most recent Uconnect Update? I had that installed a week or so ago. I guess I’ll take it by the dealer if it’s still doing it here in a bit. Hopefully it just didn’t get “that update”. This thing is a pain to park without the surrounding cams.

My dealer has not mentioned about bringing it in as yet. I have no issues so far but I will check with my dealer tomorrow. Later RJD

I don't recall anyone else seeing a blue screen yet. Is your version the 43.12?

Yep, I’m on the latest UConnect. I had this happen before the latest UConnect months ago and assumed that it would be fixed with the update. Then I get it again not a few days after the update.

So now I’m wondering if the fix is a separate flash or if I have a completely different issue. The outage yesterday survived restarts, but cameras came back after the car sat for a couple hours off.

I’d take it into the dealer, but last time they just “could not reproduce”-ed me and I wasted a couple hours. They did say it recorded codes at least, fwiw.

Take a picture or video? I'd say it's something new then. It did happen every now and then on my 2019 and 2015, but I just let it go as a fluke.

Was at my dealer today and they said it's an OTA fix but you may have a different issue. Mine has had the OTA fix apparently as I have not issues. Later RJD

Got my notice in the mail about the back up camera. It says OTA update if you can not get it done that way they say to bring to dealer and if necessary update the radio software . Later RJD

A picture or video won’t move the needle with these guys. I had one last time the camera happened and for other worse issues… I can’t figure these guys out on what they’ll actually attempt to work on… I think they just want oil changes rolling through.
