Has anyone here had their Around View Monitor, the 360 degree birds eye view one, go out of calibration? On mine the two side camera images seem to have moved relative to the front and rear and no longer line up properly. I have no idea how this can happen, as there's no damage been done to the car, especially the wing mirrors, but it's quite annoying.

Since i bought the car i´ve got problems with the cameras. At the beginning the dead angle detector stopped working and they had to calibrate the cameras because it is controlled by the side cameras. Some months after that, the rear camera sometimes stopped working properly and even completely blocked my around view monitor.

Obviously, the problem was the rear camera. They changed it and the communication problem disappeared but at now, the around view monitor is out of calibration and the images of both cameras are not synchronized correctly. These are some examples of my fantastic view....

Where are the blue and white lines in the rear camera?

Where are the white line in the left camera?

Where are the lines in the side cameras?

I'm fed up. So much change and so much fix for nothing. They also tell me that it is normal and if i want them to continue testing the cameras, I will have to pay for the work hours and the car is under warranty .... Can anyone put a video that all the cameras are well synchronized?
I do not know what else to do, I'm desperate...

I have the same problem with the sudden unexplained misalignment with mine as well. It's been in to the dealer twice, and it's a bit better, but not as good as it was when new.

It's one of the wing mirror cameras in mine that's the worst affected.

Apparently the procedure to recalibrate them is extremely complicated and time consuming, with zero real time feedback. They have to connect it to their system, go through dozens of menus, enter a value in degrees they want to move the image by, come all the way out of the menu, disconnect, reboot and see if it had the required effect. If not, do the same thing again, and again, and again ...

Assuming the car is under warranty I would just keep taking it back until it is fixed properly. The fact that it's difficult to fix isn't your problem, and to be honest, I don't believe it can be that difficult as all the vehicles will be properly calibrated when they leave the factory. More likely that it's a fiddly job that the mechanics don't want to do.
