Reverse Camera
This morning I was driving to work listening to Burnley v West Ham via CarPlay (COYI) and when I got to my normal parking place I threw the car in reverse and the camera didn’t engage for the first time. Figured it might have something to do with CarPlay so switched off the IPhone and stopped the engine and restarted, still nothing other than the sensor, no camera. Parked it then switched off, shut everything down and then started again, still nothing. Will have a look later when I go home but anyone else come across reverse camera not engaging in reverse gear? Have I inadvertently switched something off? Is it a known fault?

Same here, maybe 1 time in 10 times the reverse camera does not come on, instead I get a graphical picture/representation of the car from above and some words that I never get round to reading as I'm busy trying to park. No idea what it it means or why this happens, but have only had my car for a couple of weeks.
That is precisely what I got, just the graphical display no camera. Hope it is not a fault that I have to take it back in for as I’m sure replacement parts in Australia are going to be at a premium right now.

It could be as simple as that as driving in it poured with rain. When I went back to the car at the end of the day the camera worked immediately. If it happens again I might check the lens - hopefully it is just that and not something more difficult like dampness getting in somewhere.

Very similar problem on my Evoque, but it's temperature related
If it's cold the camera doesn't work for the initial reverse out of drive, rest of the time perfect
I just think JLR electronics and more sensitive and prone to gremlins than other marques

The bit I don't understand is why we both got that overhead graphical representation of the car on the screen in place of the reverse camera.
That suggests to me that this is by design rather than a fault, but that we just don't know 'why' it flips from camera to that from time to time.

Unless that is the standard screen if the camera is t there or doesn’t kick in

I have not had this problem, but on my car (on the touch screen) you can select the rear camera manually without being in reverse. Next time the camera will not come on automatically when reverse is selected try putting gearbox in neutral and use the touch screen to switch the camera on, if it comes on at least it proves the camera is working and it is probably a bad connection between gear selector and camera.
