I'm struggling to get mine working.
I've bought and installed an NTSC camera, power from rear cig power socket, CCF file changed to camera fitted, wire removed from Sat Nav screen.
The screen switches over when I select reverse but screen is still black.
I have tried secret menu and switched from PAL to NTSC and Normal, Wide and wide 2. Still can not get it to display any image from reverse camera.
I did notice a new fault with IID saying some problem with the MOST. Is it possible I've messed things up when disconnecting and reconnecting the block connectors at the back of the NAV unit. I noticed the double pin connector can be rotated either way and refitted, I presume that is the MOST cable?
Cheers guys.

Do it properly and fit a gvif unit, fits under front passenger seat you can then have extras like rear camera, front camera, dab, tv, rear entertainment screens with or without audio from any suitable device. Thumbs Up
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

have you got the camera plugged into the brown fakra ?

check you have power and earth to the camera.

If still no luck, think about bringing the camera to the dash board and connect it directly up or buying a new camera and doing that test first, before installing.

Don't know what connector can be fitted either way round

Cheers for the replies guys. I did look into the GVIF but don't really need those functions at the moment. I may look at those again in the future.
Yes plugged into the middle brown FAKRA port and double checked live and earth at the camera.
My next move was as you suggested to try a new camera direct to the front port before routing the cables behind the trims again.
I fear I may have damaged the video cable while trying to feed it through the rubber water proof ducting that comes from the tailgate to the body.
I honestly can not see any other reason for it not to work.
Thanks again for the quick replies Smile

Just to update. I purchased a new camera and connected it up direct without fitting behind the panels.
It turns out that the FAKRA cable I purchased from eBay is bloody faulty. It moves around inside its plastic housing quite a bit and if moved to one side only the camera then displays an image.
Does anyone know where I can purchase a quality FAKRA cable from please?
Cheers guys 👍
