The back up camera does not operate when the weather is very cold and the car has not warmed up. The camera does not come on at all when backing up. I took car to the dealership and showed them photos from the last 2 occurrences, so dealer kept the car overnight but claimed that they were unable to reproduce the problem and that no diagnostic codes were seen.
