Default Issues With 360 Camera

I’ve noticed probably 1 out of 5 times when using the 360 camera to back up (usually when first starting truck in morning) the front, rear and black empty parts of the camera screen will turn into vertical colored lines for about two seconds, similar to when a TV isn’t getting reception. Has anyone had this similar issue?

I haven't seen it personally, but have seen on occasion people on this board show pictures of that happening. Not just the 360 cam, but the normal backup cam as well.

I suspect there is an intermittent connection issue somewhere in the lines that is made worse on cold days. I also seem to have more issues with Sync 3 (specifically using CarPlay) on very cold days when my truck sits outside. Once everything warms up, things work properly again. Things shrink/expand depending on temperature, and my guess is some of the electrical connectors have signal issues sometimes in cold conditions.
