Hi All

Someone please help me! the missus is tearing her hair out and in turn putting pressure to sell the car!

Sometimes the rear camera works, sometimes it has a black screen but flickers, sometimes completely black! I don't want to really bring to a dealer for them to go down a rabb it warren and charge me the earth!

Any ideas? actual camera damaged? wiring behind the main unit or anything else to look and check for?

ALL help is appreciated guys!!

Thank you in advance

There are a few things that could go wrong. The Camera itself, the Power to it and the Navigation Control Unit. Also, Reverse gear will switch it on as you might expect. So, there are a fair few things that need to be checked.

Probably a dealer job.

Welcome to this forum.

It certainly sounds like a wiring issue, corroded or broken wire sometimes making contact and sometimes not. I'd check the camera end first.
