Removed panels in the trunk and on the trunk lid and checked it all out. Also checked in the front footwells. Didn't found any evidence of water leak. On the other hand, everything works OK now. So, even if some water got in and shorted something out it is all dried out now. I don't see anything. Oh well, we have some heavy rains promised for the next few days, will see if it happens again.

Dees it happen when you are stationary? Do the backup lights come on when it happens?

At first it was happening every few minutes, regardless of the shifter position, when driving at any speed or in park. Backup lights would not come on when it was happening (I was watching my car doing it in the driveway). The next day it was no longer happening at random but every time I step on the brake (when driving or in park). Camera would activate with the brake lights only, backup lights not illuminating (unless shifted in reverse). Sometimes it would stay on as long as I hold brake pedal and sometimes just flickers and goes away. Today it rains most of the day and I was expecting it to go completely nuts. Strangely enough issue is gone and everything works as advertised. Was driving back and forth all day and haven't seen a single glitch. Go figure.

Now you have an intermittent issue. Even harder to fix. Hope it magically never comes back.

OK, so it doesn't appear to be anything to do with the backup light switch. Could be a corrosion-related intermittent issue.

Any updates on this? Checked diagrams - BCKP wire goes directly from navi unit connector (multimedia module, not screen itself), via LS1 (driver's legs area) back to rear junction block connector.

Checked in the trunk and under the carpet in the cabin, found no leaks of any kind, everything is clean and dry. Got some heavy rains again last week, no issues. I guess not rain related. Yesterday temperature dropped below freezing in my area and still no issues. I did found one stored code "B15DB Telematics Transceiver Disconnected" but it was not current and after I cleared it it never came back. Waiting for better weather to dig deeper but as for now everything works as advertised with no issues.
