Exclamation Camera Image Fuzzy

Hello,

I am new to adding after market pieces to my car. I currently drive a 2015 w205 C300. I am installing a front camera and am running into an issue. The image that comes up is very fuzzy and cannot be used. I have wired up the camera correctly to the video cable, but still have no image. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Attached is an image of what the camera currently looks like.

Hard to say without knowing all the hardware/compatibility, but could it be a resolution mismatch? Also would be useful if you could test the camera independently.

I concur.. in troubleshooting, you want to always isolate the root cause by testing items independently or with other similar items.. (i.e. try a different camera - and try the camera on a different screen) as there are always "other" items than can be a cause that you might not think about (i.e. bad or pinched cable or connector on cable - or connector on screen or camera) - if camera works on other screen then problem MIGHT be with screen.. BUT if another camera works on the screen as well.. then that where incompatibility comes into play.. as Jeboo said.. could be resolution.. but could be frequency also (make sure screen is set up to American standard or PAL if it has that option - or or can yu change frequency of signal..i.e. 50Hz or 60Hz - Good Luck..
