Rearview Camera Issues

My 07 S550 rearview camera is playing up, lately when I put car in reverse it will show a blank screen for a second then go to command display, also when in drive the screen will show blank reverse camera, I have to manually put the screen back to command.
I have read there is a wire in trunk that breaks and causes this, has anyone had same issue, if so how did they fix, anyone have the part number for the wire.
If anyone has fixed themselves, can I get a DIY write up.
Any info appreciated
