Check that all of your connections are tight (particularly the grounds).
My OEM factory installed camera was doing it off and on, but I could never get it to act up for the dealer. I got video, and from that they were able to get an idea of where to look. It turns out that my factory wiring harness for the camera had a bad "Video Ground" connector that looked like it was fully inserted but would not make a good connection.
Another thing I would look at would be adding ferrite loops to the cabling to minimize interference.
Good luck!

OK...Now it working.
Solution was very simple..
I made it whit relay adding a Circuit from 5 amp. fuse to pin 30.
Ground from pin 85...Reverse Light wire to pin 86..and Camera power to pin 87.
Ewerything works excellently...
