2019 Mercedes Benz W205 C63s Facelift
Reverse Camera (Black screen issue)
Vehicle: 2019 W205 C63s Facelift



Hi all,

I’m hoping I get some assistance in relation to this issue. Everytime I put my vehicle in reverse, the reverse camera works for 2 seconds roughly and then shows a black screen. The rear camera flap is in open position, I have tried lubricating it with WD40 and also cleaned it without any success.

I have attached a url of a short video for reference, your assistance will be much appreciated.

Perhaps plug a scanner in the vehicle and see if there is a stored code, thought it was a calibration issue but doesn't seem to be so. I did notice the camera is clearly blurry so not sure if it is a hardware issue, hopefully not.

Could it be the wiring loom mentioned here? https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...d-working.html

There's nothing on the scanner and the camera is just dirty, just needs a clean.

Thank you for your reply. I don't think the last two forums are related the camera is operational. It may be a loose wiring loom?
