Tangent - one thing I've noticed with the update is that now if the front wipers are set to auto (rain-sensing), the rear wiper will also periodically wipe automatically even if they are set to Off. Mine is a 2019 Nov build.

Again, I am not worried about this. It disappeared when I shifted the neutral and then back into reverse and the camera appeared.

Though that is how it had worked before the half dozen or so times it had happened before the software update. All in all, I could not tell you what the software update fixed.

Ah, interesting. I think mine behaved the same way, no reverse camera, no 360 view either.

I am officially upset and wish I had never had the backup camera recall software update.

I cannot explain why but my ADAS has taken a noticeable step backwards. Especially with the capacitive steering wheel sensitivity which is now ALWAYS chirping me. I can't take my hands off of the wheel for more than a second and then it does not reacquire ADAS immediately but resets the parameters one by one. The lane keep seems especially finicky now and takes quite a while to reestablish the green "good" lines.

I want my old ADAS back.

Good news though, posting about it made me finally remember to change out the rear wiper! I guess I'll find out if it squeaks and skips in the next rain. The rear wiper I think was probably the original, it was pretty hard and cracked. It never wiped well over the last year I've owned the car.
