There's an adjustment within the Android monitor to tell which monitor to use. Stock, aftermarket or 360 or even pop out on some models. At least on my monitor.

Can you take a picture of your monitor, home screen and service menu.

Looks exactly like Peter's video instruction.
Nothing more to add.
Did you try this adjustment?
Assuming you have a working rear cam and the adjustments don't do anything, you'll have to dig deeper and take the monitor off.
Check the connections to the monitor.
Unfortunately, mine is very different from yours. I also upgraded the software to the current MBUX icons.
I have 3 white connectors vs the standard 2.
​​​​​Is everything else working?
Phone, music, apps etc?

I guess it's time to pull the Comand player and check your connections.
This pic shows the Comand 4.5. Yours might be different but check # 6.
I got my monitor from RoadTop. They asked if I wanted to update the software, so I did.

Is your camera working if you switch back to the OEM setting?
The icon with the car, to control the comand.

Did you switch over the fiber optics connector to the new wiring harness?
