08 ML 320CCDI - reverse camera problems

I’ve had severe intermittent problems with the reverse camera or the signals from it. A few days ago I visited a MB garage and got the revere camera changed. The previous loss of or flickering image is still present.
Since it most probably is related to contact problems in eg cable connections (sorry just me guessing) and since I’m convinced that this problem can’t be limited to my car only I try to get some qualified advices from this forum. How was this problem cured in your car?
Thanks in advance for all responses to this enquiry!

I am not going to argue the dealer should fix what you already paied for... new camera, no difference ie. bad repair

The camera harness goes through the trunk sides that go up/down until wires gives up from repeated motion. Some use video signal, newer incarnation use a data stream... same old cabling issue.

Try to pin-point that problem there.
