I have this red bar on the camera view on my ‘24 T as well…. but I also thought it was the red paint on my car’s bumper lol! Mine is carmine red.

I guess it’s normal then.

I have it on my 24 as well.

I believe this is to highlight the rear of the car when backing up. Without it you would see the rear bumper, but in different lighting conditions the bumper could be washed out and give you a false sense on where to stop, the red bar provides a consistent visual representation of the bumper - weirdly the red bar actually pivots and moves slightly when the steering wheel is turned.

It may even be a new requirement for backup cameras as I have noticed this lower red bar on a few other new cars as well.

Red means stop.

I don’t recall seeing this on my ‘22, but I sure will check now.

Red Bar is normal - my 2022 992 Targa had it and my 2024 Targa has it.

I think it might not be there if you do not have surround view (my 2020 992 coupe did not have surround view, just the normal backup camera). I do not remember a red bar, but someone without surround view can verify.

Mine now has the red bar ever since I had the Matrix lights activated . The person that activated them for me did inform me that this would happen. No big deal

lol... makes it 2 of us...

Bizarre. Why don't they just letterbox it?!

PSPorsche

Yes. I have surround view.

Base on this information…

• No Red bar = Cars without surround view (2018-2024)
• Red bar = Cars with surround view (2018-2024)

Icegrill

No.

Now I need to check mine... I have surround view and thought the red bar just showed up when you were close to something. Not sure what the problem is though... thats clearly the zone you don't want to see anything in so philosophically this makes sense.

I have a 21 C2s Cab. I never paid attention before, but I do have the red bar. However, it is slightly concave on the top edge, and the left and right ends are tapered. No surround view.

I have surround view and no red bar, MY22. The red bar appears much higher than the actual bumper on my car, too. I took a picture this morning:


To dispel another hypothesis, I also have activated Matrix LEDs and no red bar.

I guess my car is just a unicorn... Electric steering column, no red bar, activated Matrix LEDs, remembers its bass/treble settings... 😁
