SOLVED Problem Installation Rearview camera

Installing a rearview camera on a E-class 250 cdi Wagon Comand NTG4, and some problems came up.
First of all when i go into Engineering menu to set NTC or Pal it says NTC and then i change to PAL and then go to END, the Comand restarts.
When i go into Engineering menu again it says NTSC, seems like the Comand won`t save my settings.
Tested the camera on my rearseat monitors, pictures come up, and the camera works.

What am i doing wrong???

Got 2 cameras i have tested both does not work when i connect them to the comand, only when i connect them to my rear seat monitor.
Thinking about a broken FAKRA cable, but hav measured it.
Also tried to connect the FAKRA cable to both connectors on the Comand
I have the newest Map Update, but not sure if this covers the Firmware aswell.
Done this on a 2012 E class coupe with Comand NTG 4,5, and that worked perfectly

MY10-12 207/212 = NTG4
MY11-13 207/212 NTG 4.5 GEN 1/2
MY14-15 207/212 NTG 4.5 GEN 3

May be hardware limitation, Xentry/SCN coding requirement, etc.

I`ve been thinking alot lately and tested again.
I just switched the two Fakras, to see of that worked, and it did.
I Don`t understand why, but it worked, so far i don`t know if i miss any functions yet
