Hi guys

Well - I finally have my FFRR Supercharged...

and... even though I did an extensive test drive, it seems that I did not check the rear camera operation.

I searched other posts and have seen suggestions to check things.

To confirm the issue:
* when selecting reverse, I get a black screen
* I do get the home button etc, so it looks like the camera feed is just not working
* I have checked all fuses in the rear - all are fine

Any ideas chaps (and chapettes!)???

Is this common? Is it straight forward to fix?

I am so annoyed about it - I was so thorough on everything...

Help / thoughts / suggestions all much appreciated!

Cheers
pdt.

the first thing i would do is dis-connect the battery for a while , this might reboot the system .. ... - .- -.

Hi guys

dredging up this old topic...

had the MY06 S/C at the indy today and they have diagnosed it to be a fault within the camera.

£400 for a new one, plus labour!

Ouch...

Anyone else come up with a better solution?
(apart from turning head and using eyes!)

What ever you do don't shell out that kind of money!

Well yours is a little more modern than mine. My kit was all homebrew. It consits of a cable to feed AV in to the loom. A camera and a relay. The principle is quite simple. The relay provides power to the camera and also a negative feed to the loom which tells the cars display to trigger the rear view camera.

Your system will be much the same however it will use different cables.

I'd start with getting a new rear view camera and find out where the old camera AV feeds in to the loom. Splice in to this and you are sorted. Or at least you can check by replacing ONLY the camera to start with. My camera from ebay.... 99p with £13 postage. Cable £29 and relay and wires were out of the toolbox. I'll let you do the maths Most of my time was spent making a bracket to mount my camera from scratch.

You will need to figure out with the help of the guys here if the camera is NTSC or PAL protocol. This caused me problems initially but I now have the kit to toggle the car so it will allow either formats.

Start simple and go from there.

It would also pay to locate the feed to the camera when reverse is selected to check any relay on your system us also doing what it should.

I'd set about it like this..

Check loom ok
Check loom does as expected - I.e. 12v + or - where and when you expect it to be there.
Then start replacing components such as camera and relay.

If you like to tinker and have a camcorder you can probably check the camera feed playing your camera into the car AV in.... again be sure to set the camcorder to the correct format PAL/NTSC. 2010 Disco XS TDV6, 2009 Freelander 2 GS

Apologies for going off topic a little but Elpeede mentioned in his post below about changing the Protocol from PAL/NTSC and vice versa. I'm currently having an issue with the RSE in my Dec' 55 Vogue, one screen is receiving the DVD feed (in NTSC) and the other is stuck in PAL mode which I cannot seem to change.

Any advice?

Apologies again for the thread hijack.

What about this? It's seems a lot cheaper than £400!!

good spot  Ian

OK, so any ideas wher one would find the 'Camera ECU' ?.

Still having intermittent problems with it [more times a black screen] and i have not had a chance to get back to the UK to have it looked at.

Keep it simple - find the camera , check its getting 12v with Ignition on in reverse. (Obviously not with the engine running and Handbrake applied ) 2010 Disco XS TDV6, 2009 Freelander 2 GS
