How To - Reverse Camera Fitting Guide
captainsteve replied to weyland's topic in Skoda Octavia Guides
As a follow-up in case someone else encounters the same issue, resolution found: -
Solution in case anyone searches this issue in the future and comes across this thread: Contacted the seller on AliExpress who sent a replacement camera unit for $20 USD (no harness, camera only). Plugged new camera directly into harness in and it re-coded the infotainment system and worked as expected. Unplugged and reconnected the original camera which now works as per usual, just like a stock one. It seems that the original camera lost whatever it does to re-code the infotainment and the new one was required to do this bit. Original camera working is a win in that I didn't have to take the boot trim off to replace the boot latch again.

I recently had the car in at the main dealer and they upgraded the infotainment to version 0480 in an effort to resolve an intermittent crashing issue. However, after doing so my reversing camera is no longer working. I installed the third-party Sinosmart camera as per the linked thread below a couple of years ago - this was plug and play with no issues. I've checked the harness, connections etc and they all look fine. Following the advice of someone in the same thread, I pulled infotainment fuse 12 with no luck. Any ideas on what to try from here would be gratefully received.

I installed the sinosmart camera a couple of years ago with no trouble, worked first time round after plugging in. The infotainment was updated to 0480 at the dealer last week and the camera no longer displays. As per advice earlier in the thread, I've pulled fuse 12 with no success. Also removed harness and reconnected. Grateful for any ideas on what else to try?
