Rear Camera Zoom
Hi hope somebody can help, i have recently upgraded to a 2025MY Disco from a Disco 4 and my camera doesn't seem to zoom in when hitching up to a trailer, i select reverse camera comes on i select towing and the line changes to a single line from the tow ball, i reverse to the hitch but no zoom when i get close, the manual says it should, the disco 4 you could touch the screen and options came up to turn things like that on and off but i cannot find that, any ideas?

It should automatically zoom when 600mm from the hitch in towing mode with MY25 and Pivi pro …yes.
In earlier models with surround cameras I believe there was a feature to turn the zoom off in the rear camera menu.
But if you’ve got the single line it’s in the right mode.
Couple of method queries….
Does it happen when reversing towards say a wall (not just trailer hitch) in tow mode?
Have you tried different approach speeds?
Beyond those….. there were some software issues I read, with this feature that required updates .
May need software reinstall/update?
Unlikely …but is the camera alignment slightly off?
Worth getting a diagnostic on the camera module for errors?
Is it a deployable or fixed towball? Just wondered if it’s deployable if there is something in the wiring??
Just a few thoughts
Someone else may have an answer.

Thanks Wolfpack,
i haven't tried the reversing towards the wall, will give it a go tonight, might also try low range as well, it is the electrically deployable tow bar, so might try with it deployed and not deployed.
i haven't tried different speeds, just a steady slow crawl.
The car is ex Land rover and the tow hitch had never been used so a software issue is probable, so a trip to the dealers is most likely,
Thanks again, given me some stuff to try first, i didn't want to go and be told you should have pushed this button in this menu over here.

Yeah …the wall idea is just a bigger field of view in case the camera isn’t “seeing” properly…..please don’t try a faster approach speed on that one
I was sat in Tesco carpark this morning while the boss went in for a couple of items. I had the tow ball deployed so I switched to tow mode and reversed back toward the car in the bay behind…..camera zoomed in immediately …so not hitch dependant.
Sounds like a software update best bet.
