I have a peculiar problem with an aftermarket wireless reversing camera setup on my 2012 TD Passat. The camera works and gives a clear view when the engine is off. As soon as I start the engine, the rear view monitor picture shuts down.
The camera is powered by the reversing light wiring and needs 9v-30v to work. With the engine off and reverse gear selected, I measured 11.6v across the reversing light. With the engine going, I measured 11.9v across the reversing light.
So, the camera is getting power as needed but the monitor only works when the engine is off??
Totally baffled at this stage so suggestions welcome.
The kit was from Jaycar – Nextech QM3842
