Golf VI R :: Reverse Camera Not Working - Handle Need Power To Function?
Jun 7, 2012
So I completed the install of the OEM reverse camera with ECS wiring harness. I followed the wiring diagram, tapped into power at the back of the head unit according to this thread but nothing works. Neither the hatch lever nor the camera. I have to open the hatch manually from the inside.
I double checked the wiring diagram and everything is correct. I also plugged the old hatch wiring harness directly into the new camera by bypassing the ECS harness, and afterwards the hatch lever actually works... however, with the wiring harness installed, with the old hatch wiring harness inserted into the ECS wiring harness, the hatch lever does nothing.
Does the handle need power to function?
Did I tap into the wrong location for power? I was going to use a fuse tap, but couldn't get the fuse tap to plug in so I used the head unit. Where did people tap into for power? Did people use the red/white wire at the back of the head unit? I redid the connection with a simple twist joiner but things still don't work.... I also ran a new power line through the car to see if that would solve things. So is my problem:
1. faulty wiring harness
2. improper power supply
3. faulty camera unit
4. other.

I seem to be having a problem with my passenger side mirror and it's reverse function. I have a 2008 Passat Lux. I set the mirror reverse to 'on' in the MFD. I started the car, leave it in park and set up my seats and both mirrors. I press set and then 1 to memorize the positions and hear the chime. I then proceed to put the car into reverse, switch the remote mirror dial to 'R' and position it go down.
The problem I'm having is that the manual says that the passenger mirror will go to it's original set driving position if you go over 9mph (or something like that) or if you move the remote dial to something other then 'R'. But that's not the way it's working. It should ideally go back to the original position when you put the car in to drive (like my old 2002 Passat GLX did), but even when I drive off and go over the stated mph, the mirror doesn't go back to the driving position.
While I'm driving, I then turn the dial off the 'R' position, but it's still looking down....I honestly don't think that I set it incorrectly, but hopefully I am and I don't have to bring it in to service for just that. It's a convenient feature that I want to use. Don't want to curb rash my wheels by my sloppy parking or my wife's....

Does the Ford emblem/camera just pop off the tailgate with a screw driver? Pry from top or bottom? I'm trying not to break anything here. I removed the tailgate panel inside and can't get any access there.
Both the camera and reverse sensors have quit working. I'm troubleshooting both but I'm not sure they are related. The camera died first but worked sometimes after slamming the tailgate. Sensors quit sometime after. Don't really care about the sensors but the camera is essential for hooking up the trailers.
I was hoping the wiring from the tailgate to the plug would be cut but that doesn't appear to be the case. I'd like to check the camera itself next. Ohm it out or something, I don't know.

I just got back from being gone awhile to find that my rear view camera has stopped working. I get a message that says "rear view camera system is currently unavailable" when I put the car in reverse.
The camera does come out like it should so I'm guessing it's something to do with wiring maybe a short or something. I have a 2014 RCD-510 with the camera input...

I just got my prius a few weeks ago and I am curious as to what the little button on the driver door handle does? I can't find anything in the manually unless I just skipped over it.

Saw the 2013 Jetta commercial with the dog and in the last scene the owner closes all windows via the exterior driver door handle.
Is this a function available on the Passat? I tried it with no success.

I installed rvc couple of months ago. When I put in reverse, only shows straight yellow lines on screen. Is there any way to activate to lines turn with steering wheel (like cars with parking sensors)? I was wondering if there is Vag_com trick available for this option.

New GTI. I can manually put all 4 windows down and open the sunroof then get them all to CLOSE by holding the lock slot on the door but I simply cannot get them all to open at once holding down the driver window switch. I'm doing exactly what the manual states to do. With ignition off. But with power either on or off this doesn't work for me.

how common a problem it seems to be that our fans just stop working. Replacing those later this week.
My question is concerning my AC not working. Is it possible that, since the two fans won't work at all, the AC system won't engage? Or do I have two completely unrelated problems?

Okay so I've got the RVC hooked up to my 2014 RCD-510 with the input for the RVC, only when I put the car in reverse, a message appears on the screen and the emblem camera doesn't open. I've tried coding in vagcom but I can't use the navigation settings since it's not a RNS-510 so there is no nav option. I checked the rear view camera under 56 Radio but that still didn't seem to work. What I can try to get it working?

Went to back out of the driveway yesterday and no picture on my nav screen. It switched to the camera screen but it is just black. I unplugged the connection at the rear of the truck before the tailgate and plugged it back in. Everything seemed fine with the connection. I also have a lock pick installed but if I remember correctly the camera still plugs directly into the nav unit.

99 Passat GLX Electrical Gremlins!! Glove box light, out, no power to light, fuse perfect, bulb fine. wiring fine. Also memory function on driver seat not functioning. All power adjustments on seat fine. I think problems are linked. Looking forward to access to wiring diagram? Seems to be a open circuit somewhere.

Well now I have to replace the multi function switch due to moving my steering wheel and the headlights sometimes working and turning signals not working. I saw a great video on youtube about changing a Multi Function Switch and it shows where the air bag needs to be removed. I was hoping that since my truck is an older 1997 F250 LD I wouldn't have to remove the airbag. Is there a way to do this w/out messing with the airbag on the 1997?

So when I got my car a couple months ago there was this problem where the backup camera wouldn't come on every now and then when I shifted into reverse so I decided to get it fixed under warranty. the dealership said the problem had to do with the whole infotainment system or something so they gave me a whole new center console and navigation screen for some reason but after I got my car back a couple days ago it was working fine up until today where the back up camera won't even come on at all anymore. I've driven the car about 5 different times today and the backup camera never came on once.

I have a 2012 camry hybrid that had the stock push button radio and I wanted to add a backup camera. So I picked up a 2013 camry entune display head unit to replace the stock one without a display.
The backup camera does not work when the car is in reverse and I see that the mpg and other data does not update on the radio display, although all of the same data is displayed on the instrument cluster.

Where is the camera for the back-up screen located? Occasionally we have gotten splashed and when I put the car in reverse, it is very difficult to see because the splashes are obscuring the view. If I knew the location of the camera, I could try to clean it.
By the way, had my first opportunity to drive our 450h In the snow. The snow was coming down hard, it was night time, back roads in New England, taking our daughter back to boarding school. The roads were very dark, not yet plowed. I was so focused on seeing the road ahead that I didn't even notice how steady the car had been (no skidding or 'fish-tailing') until we got back to our hotel.

Is there anyway to view the backup camera when the car is not in reverse? During driving, while stopped, etc.?

Just bought this 11 gs350 and car is great except that the reverse camera does not activate when the car is put in reverse. The side mirrors tilt down and the rear shade will lower when put in reverse but the screen just stays on the navigation screen no flicker or black screen.. What could be the problem?
