Camera Blurry in Navigation

When using the bmw navigation feature, I have found the camera view that pops up as a turn approaches is extremely blurry. Is anyone else encountering this problem? There are no impediments on the camera or windshield that are causing this issue. It is almost as if the camera is out of focus. Any suggestions?

never seen blurry images, except when it's cold out and the camera lens was fogging up like glasses.

is it only blurry when you're getting the AR view from the navigation? what about when you're parking?

Just a hunch. Perhaps the windshield is dirty up near the center mirror.

I’ve noticed when my wipers & the camera is on as I am approaching a turn, I see them going back & forth as they pass by rear view mirror.

Parking and nav cameras are two separate units. The parking (and drive recorder) camera is in the front grille, nav camera is in the mirror housing at the top of the windshield.

If you've cleaned the windshield thoroughly and it's still blurry, it can usually only be:

Some obscurity on the inside of the glass between the camera and windshield(or the lens of the camera itself), or the camera unit is defective/needs calibration. Any of these reasons should be covered under warranty and would require a visit to the dealer.
