Ive got an imported 2008 370GT, 6MT sport package with 4WS. Car is bone stock apart from the CDC kit and a piggyback nifty-city android auto system.
All has been working fine until recently on a hot summer day I was backing out of a parking spot and could see the image on the center screen going brighter and brighter very slightly. I figured it had to be reflections of light from the cars behind me, but as i kept backing out, the screen went so bright it was like being in a snowstorm. Now its whited-out by default and only shows me the steering trajectory scanlines on a blank image. Strangely, when the surrounding level of brightness is low, say, in a parking garage or during night time, the camera works. Aside from that, sometimes it is not projecting anything at all, other than a black screen saying to "check surroundings etc", not even scanlines. This last thing also happens to the mirror camera occasionally, a black screen. Weirdest thing ever is that when the cameras dont give me a feed, I cannot use the touch screen on the head unit! Its black magic. I can still use the turning dials etc to control it, but its touch function is gone. I cannot reproduce this error as sometimes the cameras work and the touchscreen works fine as well.
Im wondering now if i have to replace the camera or the whole head control unit... rather not do that since the ones for 370GTs are extremely hard to find (and I dont know if they are interchangeable with G37s). Perhaps the forum wizards can help me out?
