The view on the nav screen includes the license place from above, and the lower left corner of the image is snipped off. I went back to thwe camera to see what I could see, and found that the lower left part of the image snipped off is because the camera is recessed and the bumper blocks that area a little bit. Seeing the license plate from above is interesting - that is on very closer camera. I tried to wiggle the camera and it was definite not going anywhere sp that was not the issue.

Is the camera I tried to wiggle the entire camera or just the housing?
Is what I am seeing the correct view? Is there a way to calibrate it?
@OP, I don't have nav but rather the homelink mirror w/ view in the mirror. When the dealer installed mine it was the same view (bumper and license plate) which I hated. I had them adjust the camera angle - so the result on mine has the warning lines trailing up a bit rather than paralell to the road but the view is now much clearer.
