Idrive Controller

[ek1978]

Hey everyone,
I have a 2011 BMW 550i. On RealOEM, my original part number for the controller is 65829206444.
I bought a replacement off Amazon: 9206444 Multimedia Switch Controller Joystick (listed as compatible with BMW 5, 7, X3 Series F07, F10, F11, F01, F02, F03, F04, F25 Hybrid 2007–2017).
Everything works except the 360 parking camera and backup camera buttons.
Has anyone run into this before?
Is there a way to fix this — like coding, wiring, or maybe a different part?
Thanks in advance!

what has the controller to do with the camera buttons ? , I find it a bit strange .

what happens if you disconnect the controller , will the camera button works again ? , if yes then this controller is not suitable for your car . but again I find no relation between the controller and the other buttons in the center console .

could it be that you didn't connect the connector of the side panel buttons while installing the new controller ?
