Rear camera not working

I got code C264 Communication with backup camera has malfunction. Funny part is that it comes back and works for a while and then it stops working. Mercedes wants 1600$ Canadian for rear camera as a first step so they are no guarantees that it's going to be fix problem . I am wondering did anyone has same or similar problems and if anyone knows how to fix it please let me know . Thank you so much for help

Try banging on the rear hatch near where the camera is then check if the camera starts working.. It could just be a loose/dirty connector. If the camera starts to work, then you could remove the plastic from the inside of the hatch and repair/clean the connector.

Slight tap on the camera few years ago solved my intermittent black screen issues, and its been working fine since.

$1,600 sounds borderline crazy for a non-guaranteed shot of the parts cannon at the problem. FWIW, I'd say just go online and fine a used (try eBay or local boneyard) or even new camera, and swap it out yourownself - it's not a terribly difficult job, particularly if the camera is a 1:1 replacement.

I did a video of an entire installation - obviously, you won't care about the "front end" of the job, or running the cables, but this will show you how to access the camera. BTW, the entire installation (camera, wiring and free labor) set me back a whopping US$20. ;-)
