Reversing Camera

An adapter like this one

A camera like this one maybe? There are other designs available also.

It then needs to be wired, ground wire to earth point at wheel arch, power to the fuse box, yellow plug into the adapter which goes into the back of the MIB unit pins 6 and 12. It then needs to be coded to reverse camera low, mine needed a few other changes to get it working like disabling PDC sensors which were enabled.
Thnx 4 info but

Ive got a Discover Media HU in my 2016 Caddy but if I understand it correctly, it is PDC or camera, not both ?

Did you route the cable through the rear talegate? If so how? I'm struggling with that at the mo. Maybe I should have got a wireless one.

Hey guys,
Having some issues with getting a connection to the screen from the transmitter.
So when in reverse with the ignition on the picture on the screen works. When the engine is on the camera screen won't work and displays no signal. Can anyone help. The screen is plugged into the 12v and the camera cable wired into the reversing light connection. I would appreciate any help

Does anyone know what coding needs doing? I have a genuine vcds but can isn’t here at the minute. I’ve got 2 hours spare tomorrow to sort before the van goes off for insulating & carpeting so ideally want to code & test then run cable to the b pillar whilst access is easier
Cheers
Chris

Sorted, i enabled it in a couple of places but the one that worked was in 5f vehicle information. camera not connected up yet but parking sensors have moved over to the left side & black screen for the rest so the coding appears to be fine

Forgot to add this earlier. 4 hour job approx including mounting camera, removing ply to run cable etc. Works on high line & park sensors still work too. I will add a picture when at computer as don’t use tapatalk & it’s not allowing me via webpage

Has anyone had issues with camera black screen intermittently? It seems to work 100% of the time with engine in acc but hit and miss with engine running. Tapped reverse light so wondering if canbus voltage issue or needing a relay of some sort.

Yeah sure. I will check tomorrow but think it was in 5f navigation iirc. Towards the end of the long coding helper, there was a drop down to allow for camera activation. There was another tick box in pdc too for it. I selected both & works fine but unsure if the pdc one is needed or not. It didn’t work with just that selected but worked after I selected in the drop down for infotainment / nav
