Recently purchased 640i 2017. absolutely love the car. only problem I cant figure out is when I hit reverse passenger side camera under mirror won't start and shoes yellow triangle in picture of all around camera. I went to dealership and they said water entered near connector and its corroded. I cant find any video or wiring diagram to get DIY help. can someone help me point in right direction? thank you

Not sure you need a wiring diagram at this point since you really just need to get at the connector at the camera to see how things look. First, you have to pry off the mirror glass with a plastic pry tool. Warm it up good first on the back side - even with a hair dryer at bit (but not hot). Doing it cold is asking to snap off some of the plastic tabs that are in a circle and hold the mirror to the motor. Then remove the motor. Then there are two tabs to remove the big plastic mirror cap you release with a thin tool. Then carefully pry off the cap.
