Hello All
I am attempting to install a RVC & OPS in my '11 JSW with my local audio tech. The service manager at my VW dealership had recommended them, and they have done good work. We're having issues with the RVC and been running over every possible fix but with no luck.
I started with installing the RNS-510 from ExtremeNetwork. Peter provided great support and help getting the unit up and running. Happy with the change from the RCD-510. I ordered the RVC from nsmsam2 on eBay. The unit looked good and went in without too many problems.
We followed this guide - but something is not right:

I enabled the camera with VCDS but when the car is in reverse, nothing happens on the display. I've got some fault codes on VCDS but I don't know if they are keeping the signal from the RNS or if something w/the install is not right.
I've emailed maloosheck several times for help and he's been extremely helpful. I am remote for the week, so my tech has been trying to work through the errors. This is the status report I got from him tonight:
"as for the camera it's still not working. What I have found out so far is that the red wire is getting a constant 12v battery source. ( I tried it at the battery, fuse box #16, tried behind the radio also. As for the ground it's a solid ground. As for the blue with black tracer wire (also the yellow) I have hooked into the reverse light and the under the driver side dash at the computer. I verified that when not in reverse the camera has not output, when putting the camera into reverse the camera has an output around 3.0 volts, (which is a common voltage that you see with a video signal. I checked the cable with a meter and visually, to see if there are any brakes in the wire and I have found none.
I talked to a guy that works in the vw business and he told me to try another computer. His concern was that the camera seems to be functioning properly due to the voltage. He claims that the radio is not seeing to change over to the reverse screen,so he recommended trying either a vatcom, or another Ross cable. He says it sounds like a software problem, so I am going to look to see if a shop in the area may have one we can try. ( it's worth a shot ). So that's where I am at with the rear view camera. "
I wonder if my CECM needs to be updated. I am going to look through my VCDS logs to see what version I have. Anyone out there have any advice or thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been researching and reading but can't determine where we have gone wrong.
