So last night, after washing the car, I noticed that the rear-view camera wasn't working and an error was coming up on the dashboard. The entire rear-view camera screen was replaced with a full screen version of the parking sensor screen.
I thought perhaps I'd knocked something or water got into the camera unit, but from what I can tell it's a sealed unit and is part of the same unit as the boot release button, which is still working absolutely fine. There seems to be nothing I could have done, even deliberately, to break the camera module. I guess this is just a coincidence and nothing else that it happened after a wash and dry.
I got my OBDeleven out to see if there was any faults but curiously it's saying that the Rear Parking Camera module is not responding. It also shows a black dot rather than green (no faults) or red (faults), like all the other modules. So whatever the issue is, I don't think it was caused by the simple cleaning of my pride and joy.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've thought about doing a software update, as I'm still on 1940 and I know 1969 is available, but I wouldn't know where to source the update files I need to attempt this. I know there's an update file that an Italian YouTuber provided but is it one-file-fits-all or do I need a specific release for my specific model/country? I'm just trying to avoid going to the dealer because my local one closed down and the next nearest one is a little inconvenient to get to.
