2017 CRV my back up camera is 12 inches out of caliber, my camera shows i am on the line on the drivers side and when i open my door im am actually inside the parking lines my 12 inches.Can this camera be recalibrated. The dealer told me to not use the camera to back up.
The backup camera system is designed to give you better visibility than your rear view mirror when you are backing out of a parking space or garage.
It is not designed to be a precise camera for navigation in backing into parking spaces, though it may well help with that beyond your right, left, and rear view mirrors. In other words... it's sole purpose is to provide additional safety through visibility
behind your vehicle.
Best to use it for it's intended purpose, and stay within it's limitations. It is effectively a fish eye camera.. and works best on wide angle view.. but that introduces visual distortion too.
I think we all need to be prudent and not try to use the various safety features of a vehicle outside of it's designed parameters. Eventually, Honda will release Level 3 & 4 complaint self driving vehicles... and at that point... a vehicle will be able to back itself into a parking space.. but that day is not yet here.
