Reverse camera isn’t ‘aligning’

[Nett73]

I recently had the rear of my car repaired due to having someone run into the back of my car at a red light. After repairs. I have noticed the reverse camera isn’t ‘aligning’. In the pic attached, it shows that o have parked over the white line of the parking space on the left. In reality, I was parked perfectly inside both white lines. Is this an issue with the camera? Can it be fixed? Do I need to take it back to repairer as I can’t see any thing that I can do from my end?

It is probably out of adjustment by a very small amount, like an 1/8 inch.

If there's now way for you to wiggle it around, I would go back to the shop and see what they can do

The camera itself is offset 2-3" from the centerline of the car. If you line up the car based on the lines on the screen, the car will actually not be centered in the parking spot. This is different than the MX-5 and is slightly annoying for my OCD.

Same here! So is it something that the repairer needs to redo??

Take a picture of the camera and cover your license plate.

Ok, you see how it isn't centered? That is how the CX-5 is. Sorry.

I wonder if you can test it with some help. Have someone press slightly on each side of the camera while you are viewing. The experience I had with my camera is that only a very slight change is visible on the monitor.
