Scala rear reversing camera retrofit
I only have the rear sensors and they continued to work after fitting the camera. In my original post you can see the top down car image and sensors status overlayed on the camera image. I think you can close the camera image and it goes full screen on the sensor status page. Maybe try removing and reinstalling the cable harness or checking the fuses?

Scala rear reversing camera retrofit
Did you connect it behind the screen? Yes the cable fits in the space behind the screen. How was connecting? It was just unplugging the existing cable, fit the new one in and connect the original cable back in to the new. There’s a lever catch to lock/release it in place. The camera cable requires a firm push. Was it easy to take the screen out? The removal tools were included, download the Skoda communication repair guide for step by step instructions and diagrams. See https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/485397-scala-workshop-manuals/ Why is the glove compartment open what did you do there? I fed the cable from the centre, behind the screen, behind the glove compartment and up the passenger window screen pillar. How did you feed the cable from the back to the front? Just need to push the cable under the fabric of the window screen pillars and over the top of the doors. Check out guides for installing dashcams and see how they route the wires. How did you expose the back to get to where you connected the camera? See the Skoda interior repair guide for diagrams and instructions to remove the boot panel. See https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/485397-scala-workshop-manuals/ Was it plug and play? Yep, no programming was needed, this kit simply worked out of the box. Other kits or using original OEM / Skoda equipment may be different. Did you have any issues after installing? Since installing there has only been a couple of times where it has said “Camera Unavailable” but after leaving reverse gear and going back it works again. Did you have a guide? Any videos? The Skoda manuals help a lot with the removal of the entertainment system and boot panel. I also read the following post for some tips https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/485897-how-to-reverse-camera-fitting-guide/ Hope this helps, it took me several hours to install, at one point I m took a break as I couldn’t remove the clips on the existing boot handle, I managed to eventually remove it later on after a lot of frustration. At the beginning I tested it all worked before routing the cable through the car. Just remember to close the boot as the camera is disabled if the boot is open.

Scala rear reversing camera retrofit
Managed to retrofit the a reverse camera to my Scala the other day, cost just under £50 with delivery from Aliexpress. No coding required, worked straight away when selecting reverse gear. Most difficult part was removing the old handle and feeding the wire through the rubber conductor in to the boot. I’ve added some photos which may help anyone else attempting to do this. I routed my wire behind the glovebox, up the pillar and over the top of passenger side doors. The communication and general body repairs (interior) are needed to help you remove the entertainment system and boot panels (found in this forum) Link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000230897829.html - make sure you get the right type!
