Since you have retrofitted an RVC, i have an question.

When you switch from reverse to drive, do your camera still shows on the screen for i while?
Mine just shuts off immediately when i take it from reverse.

My other car (Golf R 2016) have visible picture for about 10s before it shuts off and i like that.
Something that can be coded?

Seeing as the Citigo has its own thread, seems rude not to give the Octavia one too. The reasons for buying this came about because of a new job, the need for more space inside and with the job, a lon

Where have you powered it from? They should stay on for a while but if you engage Park on a DSG that shuts them off.

Hi , I have a 2018 6 speed manual 1.5 TSI (petrol ) SEL Estate fitted with a ( low) reversing camera bought via AliExpress it is wired for 12 volts to the permanent live 12 volt socket in the boot ( trunk) . The  infotainment system is Amundsen MIB 2 . The reverse  camera display goes off immediately after disengaging reverse gear.

I took the power from rear lights so it has power permanent.

Something i missed in the coding maybe?

It´s a DSG and it shuts off even i D or N 😞

The sensor display stays on though

I had the same issue for an aftermarket rearcamera, it was a problem of wrong power source.


I connected the rear camera to the rear bulb (so it was powered only with selection of R gear) and this is wrong because infotainment system communicates with the camera via control unit and if the camera loses the power with the selection of a different gear the system considers it as an error (infact the message Park Pilot not available appeared).

So the rear camera must be connected with a always-on power source, in my case a Skoda engineer quickly fixed the issue connecting the power source to the rear position lights (I had no time and money to replace the cabling as the right and official wiring method)

 

Now camera stay on for a while after the parking and/or above a certain speed it shuts down as expected.

 

Of course it must be activated via ODB

 I measured the cables now.
It has constant power on red and black so it should work?
I don´t have my installguide :(
What guide did you follow?

Could you link so i can double check the cables?
Or maybe some coding i have missed.
I do think i have an fault code under reverse camera, something about databus error.

I will check the fault codes.

Could be a camera or radio firmware thing. Mine only goes off in Park, the rest of the time it stays on for a bit but then I’ve observed this behaviour in every car I’ve done with various radios and camera firmwares.

 

Mine has the latest firmware and i have a OEM highline camera.

For me, it was enough perform following coding (my Octavia doesn't have any parking sensor, any park assistant and stuff like that, I just installed the rear camera):

 

5F Infotainment > 07 Long Coding > Byte 19 enable Bit 4 reverse_camera_low

 

The tricky point is to connect the camera to the right power source, camera must be always on.

Sasha where did you get this one? I presume it was to replace the cheap one you had?

Looking at fitting one to my 63 plate , other than cutting a bigger hole looks straight forward. Famous last words
