Hello guys.
The rearview camera is not working even the night vision is not working. I have checked the fuses ( front, back and inside the car ) they are all good. The scanner will show that the rear view wire is faulty, i have checked the wire and the wire is good. When you put the R gear nothing will show ( i have selected the activation of the camera by the R gear in the centre console) even when you open the cover from that menu nothing will move. When i try to activate the night vision it will show ( night vision inoperative). I have read that it may need a software update but how to update it? Please if anyone know how i can fix that issue i will be grateful. It’s very annoying to park without it.

Have you read this about the common break in the wiring?

Not sure what is going on with your Night Vision, here again is where factory diagnostics would give you a better view of what's going on.

I will still check the wire when i can but I’m a bit confused because the night vision should be working. I believe they’re not supposed to be rela
