And you were able to wire it to the existing backup camera wiring to display on your dash?? Any details?

 

[ottawaal]

Yes exactly. Do. A mock up before you solder the connections

I bought a camera on Amazon that attached to my plate and did rewire iit to the existing. Works great cost was less than $30

I am having same problems as everyone, do you remember how the wiring was set up for aftermarket camera to work with stock unit?

Find the connector for the camera and cut the wires and solder the new ones. Do a mock up before you solder

so there is no "fiber optic" cable we have to deal with?

2016 g80 less than 35000 miles blue screen appears sporadically. Had it to the dealership 3 times. Supposed to return on the 17th for a factory rep to diagnose. Seems like they would do a factory recall and get this problem corrected. Great car otherwise and even with this problem it still out performs any other luxury I’ve owned....and twice as quiet.

Thanks for all the advise. I will try them as I have the same issue.

Back in 2010. My 2009 had this problem. It was a loose connection. Do NOT do this.
I put car in reverse with e break on. Opened and closed trunk I could see screen flash on. Then I pulled the camera and confirmed loose connection. Cleaned and reinstalled.

Where was the loose connection at? The camera or the plug it's wires plug into?

My camera started to do this in fall of 2021 and it continued over the winter. This past summer it started to work again. Now (Nov 2022) it has started to fail again. I think to myself maybe condensation. SO. I sit with the car in reverse for a couple of minutes and voila it fixes itself. It seems that the heat generated by having the camera powered on is drying it out. Not saying it will work for others but worth knowing.

How difficult was it to replace the camera with the aftermarket unit? It looks like a major headache. Did you get/need replacement clips for the trunk lid?

I just started to have problems with the back up camera. No display but the grid lines does show up. I got the head unit replaced two months ago. So I'm not sure if it is the camera or the head unit connection. No warranty on the car.

I had to replace my camera. I used this one

I am happy with it. Mine was dead so long I can't be sure but I think the quality might be a little worse. I just simply don't care. I had it installed. I can't remember how much it cost. There is a video on YouTube how to do it but I didn't want to.
