Why wont my camera work

[LunchboxVRS]

So after working out the camera was fine and worked perfect with the RCD I started to look at the RNS more. After speaking with Martin from JKU I decided to crack the RNS and check the pins on the 26 on plug connector to make sure they where correctly soldered in.

They where but I found something a little more disturbing inside.




There was a large crack across the top of the chip. Wether this has anything to do with the camera not working I don't know but it doesn't look good.

The other thing I found was when the RCD was in the voltage when I probed the red and yellow wire as close to the camera as possible was around 12v where as at the same point with the RNS in it was only 2v (I should point out at this stage I was getting the power and signal voltage straight from the battery to make sure it was not interfered with along the way)

So it seems there's something in the RNS sending a signal back through the 26 pin connection to the camera and cutting voltage

That's not the chip, it's just the insulating rubber pad to prevent it shorting on the case

Martin gave me a call earlier today (I do some install work for him). I've compared the coding of your RNS to mine and it seems fine. Are you sure you've unticked the 6C - Reversing camera from the CAN Gateway install list though, as my camera stops working with that on.

Yea not ticked. I got the RNS from carsystems before I knew about Martin. When I first installed it the black screen would come up in reverse. So I unticked bit 6 to stop it. I now get the feeling it was pulled out cause it wouldn't display the camera.

Bummer, all I can say then is to check that it's plugged in properly when you get around to installing the RNS

So I now have a new RNS510 and still just a black screen. Works perfectly with the RCD510 but not a RNS. Running out of options. Can't believe others work but not mine. Wondering if its the programming in the can or other module being wrong and when the RNS goes in its too high a social to handle.

Edit: I should have read your last post more thoroughly.. Camera isn't faulty as it works with RCD510...

You are using VCDS to code it again after installing the RNS510, right? You have to go into 37-Nav/56-Radio and enable the camera in there.

[LunchboxVRS]

Yes certainly am. And the 6c is not ticked.

FIXED IT

Dont ask me how but it works. I was at my wits end and out of ideas so I went to turn of the camera I the coding so I didn't have a black screen on in reverse for no reason. But when I checked it off VCDS kept telling me I had not made changes. I checked that VCDS was up to date and it was but I noticed there was a version 12 beta so I downloaded it and used it to change the coding. For some reason after that it worked. WTF. anyway it's going now but it's put me off mods for a while. Was owing to do the mic rewire for the RNS voice activation but I think ill just do my H&R springs and leave it for a while.

would love to meet up and have a look when you have fitted the springs
