2026 EX5 surround-view pop-ups and phone projection: check software display behaviour

If a surround-view pop-up changes the phone projection display while parking, an owner may ask whether the imaging system is faulty. For the Australian MY26 EX5, checking the software notice and actual interface helps avoid identifying a display-logic change directly as camera damage.

The factory recorded a change to pop-up and projection integration

Flyme Auto 1.3.0 states that, When set, the surround-view pop-up will not shrink Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.[Factory update][Q32] Retain the When set condition rather than describing automatic pop-ups in every state.

The new notice says all EX5. This article uses its overlap with another factory notice explicitly identifying MY26 Complete/Inspire, rather than inferring a model year from the update date.[Explicit model-year evidence][Q33]

Describe display behaviour separately from camera capture

Record whether phone projection is connected, whether a surround-view image is present, whether the change concerns pop-up position or image content, and the current software and related messages. This gives the repairer a clearer inspection direction than “the camera is abnormal”.

These records are not hardware diagnosis. A factory interface refinement neither proves a camera defect nor excludes a separate genuine imaging issue.

A version notice is not a replacement list

This is a historical software function notice, not a recall or camera replacement bulletin. Purchasing should follow diagnosis identifying a display, head unit, imaging component or another object, rather than preselecting a camera from pop-up behaviour. The notice also does not establish installation on every vehicle or that 1.3.0 is currently the latest version.

Scope and verification

This article covers only Australian MY26 Geely EX5, Complete and Inspire. The cited function/equipment material is not a fault or replacement criterion.[Scope basis][Q33]

No public data was available in the reviewed material for the current vehicle's applicable version, the setting location or scenario-specific activation details; separate surround-view camera, head unit and display supply, diagnosis/calibration or service parameters; OE numbers, separate parts availability or interchangeability. [To be verified] Verify compatibility or interchangeability using the VIN and local Australian manufacturer parts catalogue.
