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

Try plugging your camera directly into a small TV. If the screen is black and white on the tv then it must be your camera. If the screen comes out color then it must be your fakra cable or maybe settings?
That's the way I'd troubleshoot it.

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.

Color Test:

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.



Fakra reverse camera input. [/QUOTE]

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".

See photos below:
Sorry, in the first image of relay.. , is pin 86 must be also connected to pin 87 ?
