I want the entire long-code string - but if that isn't possible, gimme the status of Byte 19, Bit 4.

there you go....

hmm........... OK, clearly the software switch for the low-line camera is set. Assuming that this non-OEM camera (which surprisingly uses CAN high/low wires) is indeed a low-line camera- this should be OK.

Check that the values for the 2 x adaptation channels below in the 5F module are set to not active:

1. Car Function List BAP Gen2 → VPS_0x0B
2. Car Function List BAP Gen2 → VPS_0x0B_msg_bus

Also, check that the video-signal terminations on the QUAD lock connector for the coaxial cable is correct - meaning that the screen-earth wire (Black wire in the picture below) is connected to pin #12 and NOT to pin #6.



Finally, if you still can't get the camera to work - maybe try telling the MIB that this is a high-line camera? I'm totally guessing of course and this is a "desperation" suggestion!! To do this, remove the tick from Byte 19 Bit 4 and set:

1. Car Function List BAP Gen2 → VPS_0x0B > active
2. Car Function List BAP Gen2 → VPS_0x0B_msg_bus > terminal 15, or comfort data bus, or infotainment data bus

If ALL my suggestions above fail - I'm all-out-of-ideas!!

Again, the problem with this equipment is that it's non-OEM, maybe the seller can help?

and where do i find these adaptation channels to set them NOT ACTIVE

Car Function List BAP Gen2 → VPS_0x0B
Car Function List BAP Gen2 → VPS_0x0B_msg_bus

From the VCDS Open Controller screen for the 5F Module - select Adaptation - 10


In the Search box below, enter "ENG117712" and ENG122229-ENG117712-Car_Function_List_BAP_Gen2-VPS_0x0B should appear in the Channel (1B) box. If it doesn't, click on the down-arrow on the right-side of the Channel (1B) box and select the channel. Make the suggested change and press Do it! - follow the prompts to implement the change.

Repeat for the 2nd channel by entering "ENG117713" into Search box

when i type ENG117712 as you said in the search window and press enter, nothing happens
and i see nothing in the drop down box

[RBmk6R]

so i checked both of those fields, and as you can see they were ALREADY NOT ACTIVATED. i did NOT have to change anything

the RVC video cable is in the right spot as well, black at pin 12 and the other at pin 6

i have also tried the other steps you suggested, make the 117712 activated and then the 117713 (using the 3 options you suggested, terminal 15, or comfort data bus, or infotainment data bus )

and none of those combinations were of any success.

Sorry to pick your brain over this...

[RBmk6R]

does anyone else have some suggestions on this???
Kamold, what's your take on this?? should i ditch/return the camera i got from RCD330.com adn go for a 2GD T-ROC camera you suggested??


thanks in advance.

I would power the camera with an external 12v power supply and test that way first. Also try swapping the 2 pins on the camera input to the MIB.

i already did that; my initial thought was that maybe the two pins were soldered wrong inside the camera so i swapped the pin 6 and 12 in the blue connector, but no dice

Confirm that the following adaptation channel is set to 'FBAS':
IDE03471-ENG126143-Vehicle configuration-RVC_video_input

Also confirm with a multimeter that the camera is getting 12v.
