Hello,
I have an 2011 Caddy and I fitted RCD 330. I also bought rear view camera, this one to be specific: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002 ... ry_from%3A
This one should have the built in delay device. Also, the RCD 330 should have the camera coded on as a standard. I also plugged the video cable to the quadlock.
I tried installing the camera today. I took the ground & positive from the rear wiper and measured with multimeter and got steady +12v. I then plugged it in, but got no camera feed. The RCD330 detects the reverse, and switched automatically to the rear view mode, but gives error that the rear view camera function is not currently available. I did not connect the ACC line to anywhere, is that the reason why it's not working? I understood that if it has CANBUS connection the ACC cable wouldnt be required.

Update: I took power for the ACC cable from the fuse box, still not working. Getting +12v from both ACC and the rear wiper connection..
Gives the error message that rear view camera currently not available. Could it have something to do with coding? As far as I understood, the head unit is coded by default to have camera enabled, and if it wasn't, it wouldnt even give the error when shifting to reverse.

Is your camera the correct video standard for the head unit, NTSC/PAL?
Have you checked there is a video output from the camera? Measure the voltage on the video line, cover the camera lens and the voltage should go down. Shine a light in the camera lens, the voltage should go up.
I have never used a RCD330 so can't say for sure if there are settings needed on it.

Got everything sorted out. My previous headunit RNS 310 had a blue 12 pin connector on the quadlock, so when I initially installed the camera cable to the quadlock, it went to the wrong side. So I just took of the old 12 pin connector as I think it only controls the AUX in the gloves compartment, which is not used anymore anyways, and replaced the old 12 pin with the new camera adapter cable. Now the camera works perfectly. I could of course just left the old connector in place and add the two cables and pins to the old connector.
