Problem with Parking sensors and backup camera.
Hi guys I just purchased a 2013 CLS550 everything works on it great but for some reason my backup camera, front and rear parking sensors, and blind spot sensors are not working correctly. When I turn it on and say I put it in reverse the car will beep, 4 red dots will appear on the radar and the screen will turn black but no image of the backup camera will show up. This happens as well if put in drive with the exception of the screen. I already checked the front sensors to see if everything is plugged in right and they are. Today I checked the fuses and everything seems to be good so my next step is to remove the rear bumper which looks like it had been taken off before because its missing some screws. When taking off the rear bumper what should I look for that could be a possible culprit for the issues I'm having? If you have any other suggestions on what else I could do please let me know.

Hmm never thought about that I will have to take a look at that. Is it located under steering column and did you get any warning lights on dash?
