Hey guys,

Bought a Reversing Camera for my Golf a few months ago, finally got around to installing it but have hit a bit of a snag. When I put the car into reverse, the badge and camera pops out, but my RNS-510 screen turns to black with the words "Look! Safe to move?". Ran a VCDS scan, and this is what it came out with...

Couple of things worth mentioning...
  • I bought the camera off a guy on this forum. It was originally factory fitted, checked the wiring it came with and it seemed to be OK.
  • The hatch opens up when I pivot the handle and it flips open when I select reverse, leading me to believe that I've tapped the Reverse, Ground, 12V (ran new circuit to fuse 16), and 'Hatch Open' correctly.
  • The only coding I did was to change the RNS-510 Byte 3, Bit 6, from 0 to 1, and am now wondering why its trying to connect to a control module.
  • The harness had the following connections to the actual camera (as apposed to the badge) 12V+ connected to the Red wire, Ground to the Brown wire and Reverse to the Yellow wire, have checked the VW Flow Diagram and this seems correct.
  • Had previously upgraded to firmware v.4120, but have since downgraded to v.3970 to see if the camera would work.


Just wondering if anybody can shed some light on my situation. Was really excited when the badge popped out, but then realised I had no picture At a loss as to what is causing the camera to not work, and why the RNS-510 is looking for a control module.

Thanks
James
