Audi VW Comprehensive Reverse Camera Troubleshooting Guide

I was chasing down the reverse camera not working on my B8.5 S5... lucky for me I also have an S4 so I was able to swap over parts to test. oddly enough I was able to fix it for free..

SIR. SIR. You saved me a weekend of troubleshooting! My Q7 broke in the exact same manner.

Boutique to check mine now! Great video keep em coming‼️💯

Hello, first of all thank you for your detailed video! I have this problem on my Audi A4 B8. The image started cutting out intermittently and sometimes saturating like a as if a wire was moving or being cut. Please where was your black wire cut? Did you have to remove all the tape around the wires to remove all the black wire that goes from the module to the rear camera? Thank you for your valuable response!!!

My camera and latch dont work. The latch was initially not operable but the camera worked till last year. Thoughts?

Did you have reverse lights when your camera was out?

[@Notanuffy]

Thanks heaps for this video. My issue is there is no video when I reverse. Unfortunately so far mine doesn’t seem to be a broken cable…. I’ve tested the reverse 5A fuse = 12V . Test the plug you said should be 6.5V. = 0V I have continuity between that 6.5V plug at the camera and the wiring running to the reverse module so I know the 12v wiring is good in that section. Should I just buy a working module and hope that’s my issue?

I have the same problem. I tried hooking up a battery connector I had that takes 4 AA batteries - 6v - probably close enough - and no image at the dash. I doubt the camera pulls more power than 4 AAs could supply for a while (new akaline). Might check the local pick u part boneyards. Sigh. I also have a cabriolet, and did the F202 sensor, and then the F171 went out. I am not impressed with older german electrics....

@@steamboat75043 have you scanned for codes? I’ve found the display for the parking assistant only intermittently comes on aswell. Makes me think it’s an MMI issue, though I did remove the camera module and took a look inside, there was a little bit of corrosion on the lower part of the pcb

@@Notanuffy I had pulled out the frame holding the modules on my 2010 s5 cabriolet but I was primarily concerned with the wiring for the roof module - all of which was ok - that needs the F171 sensor - which is on its way. I have a VCDS and this is what comes back (2/16/24) which is why I started checking through the wiring to find what you found. My parking assistant beeping has always worked. The guidelines show up and move with the steering wheel on the screen. When the camera did work sometimes it was slow to change back to the regular display once the car was moving forward. Still, no power at the camera so...: Address 19: CAN Gateway (J533) Labels:. 8T0-907-468.clb Part No SW: 8T0 907 468 T HW: 8T0 907 468 K Component: GW-BEM 4CAN-M H09 0101 Revision: EB700052 Serial number: 5200E0960602CF Coding: 00C303 Shop #: WSC 02391 823 56573 VCID: 52FD6823B4E19B3AC97-8006 Subsystem 1 - Part No SW: 8K0 915 181 E HW: 8K0 915 181 E Component: J367-BDM H06 0160 Serial number: 19081228040609 2 Faults Found: 02873 - Control Module for Back-Up Camera (J772) 004 - No Signal/Communication Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 01100100 Fault Priority: 2 Fault Frequency: 1 Reset counter: 226 Mileage: 136100 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2009.04.29 Time: 00:40:49 Freeze Frame: Bin.

Hi my savor!! Can you tell me how this cable called to search it in eBay? Thanks in advance!!

[@mohsinmohsin3059]

Sir audi a3 back camra install

[@Joeybear16]

Where did you connect the wire?

[@jperrod1979]

reconnected the cut wire to the other end of the cut wire LOL

[@413indianjosh]

Common problem I assume, as I got my 2016 s4 with the reverse camera not working smh

[@Joeybearhvac]

Dude, I did too much. You could’ve just replaced the module and voila.😊

[@Joeybear16]

I have the same problem, I can’t figure out

[@jperrod1979]

I would start with each individual part it could be...I had the benefit of another B8.5 to swap parts from to see...
