Ok, but what is a camera “rehack” and how can it be done? Never heard of something like that. EDIT: Sorry, you mean the head unit rehack.

Yes it is. What if the camera module is ok, but the wiring is bad in some way?

Ok, that is an option too. I’ll see what I can do about it. But can you test both the camera and the wiring?

Which options might that be? I triple checked the coding and everything is done by the book. The only fault I get for the camera module is “no basic setting”. Yet it doesn’t work, at least a black screen would mean something. But absolutely nothing happens here.

Hi everyone. In order to test the theory of the head unit in my car beeing to low in specs to support rear view cam, I retrofitted a new Harman head unit with navigation, Audi connect, etc. The camera still does not show when reverse is engaged, so it must be the camera, not the head unit. The...

Absolutely!

Then I guess it will be a safe move. I understand I will get navigation through upgrading, but what about the gps antenna? Any clue there? And what about the SIM card/Audi connect/Google maps thing, will I be able to have it? Perhaps we should move this to a dedicated thread.

Thanks for all the help, Alex! Only upgrading the head unit will definitely confirm your theory, but I guess you are right as we have eliminated all other possible causes. Well, guess my only option is to upgrade the MIB2 headunit. Which leaves me to one crucial question: do I need to change...

Will do so, thank you very much!

@DJAlix, we scheduled the coding session for 17.00h local time which is 16.00h London time. Will you be available?

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood your question. I will have confirmation of the exact timing on Tuesday, it depends on the guy who has VCDS. I will let you know at least 2 or 3 hours before the session, or as soon as I have confirmation. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this.

The time zone here is GMT + 2.

Sure, I scheduled a VCDS session for Tuesday afternoon. Hopefully, things should be clearer after the auto scan.

8V0827566B I believe I asked about this part number and you gave me the go ahead ;)

Belgrade. Would be much easier if I were in the UK.
