Lol you can now play nitendo in youre w204.
I set now in engineering menu from PAL to NTSC and flickering is solved.
Only the Black white screen is a problem.
I have test the camera wired, the only different is the better/sharper quality vs. the wireless system

Bad news, The flicker Screen is back and is not solved with the PAL / NTSC settings.
I have do a Color test on my Comand online See my Video's.
I Tink I need to set some settings in EngineeringMode for a Color Screen on Rearview camera.
Before I built this camera I have test it on my TV at home and its a Color camera and there wass no flicker Screen.
I have make also a Video of my engineering menu.

camera for 2013 c300
[Q
UOTE=lemonstand;6396523]Flickering screen=normally attributed to tapping into the reverse light. Don't use reverse light wiring for power source. Use a "add a fuse". See image.
Fakra connection=It appears from your picture you're adding the fakra cable to the wrong video in connection (you have it in the night vision input). To use the reverse camera option I used the green fakra connection closest to the brown fakra connection. See image.
Can you please tell me which camera did you buy?
Add a fuse to #71
Command ntg4.5 inputs image I found on other threads. Connect reverse camera to #5
Add a fuse. Make sure you add two fuses in this to power your cigarette lighter and the camera.
Fakra aux in reverse connection.

The camera is no longer working. I must have damaged it by wiring it directly from Fuse #71. Not to worry, the remote part still works and I have a CCD camera on order from eBay.
I decided to rewire the camera so that it is only on when the car is in reverse but it takes power from Fuse #71. I used a 12v relay powered from the reverse light cable with the power to the camera/remote coming from Fuse #71 via the "Add-a-Circuit".
