Default Camera problem

Hello, everyone,



I had made a post in another section of the forum, but having not had an answer, I'm trying here 🙂



For a few days, I've had camera problem (on an Audi A4 B9 of 2016).



I have the camera option with 360º view. But suddenly, this option has disappeared.



When I reverse, or press the button to trigger the cameras, it only displays the radars on the MMI.



Although I had stuffed in every possible and imaginable menu, I don't see how I could have disable this function.



And when the radar is activated, going to the options, I no longer have the camera options:






Would anyone had a similar problem?



Or would someone have something to advise me to avoid going to Audi?



I've already tried a factory reset on the MMI, apart from removing all the settings I had done, it didn't change me anything



I'm also considering acquiring a VCDS or VCP cable if necessary (I don't know too much which one, for that matter)



I'm going to try to disconnect the battery for a little moment in the coming days to see if it would change something. And also control the fuses. Besides, if someone has the fuse diagram, it could refer me...



Thank you very much for your answers

My A5 Sportback had a similar issue. I could set it for top camera view, but then it would default to the radar view after a day or two. Sometimes it would go for a week with the camera view working fine, then the car would decide to revert to the radar view. I don't have the A5 any longer & my current Audi does not have the camera view option, but many of forum members had this same issue back in late 2017 & 2018. Audi was supposedly working on a fix, but I don't know if it was ever resolved.
My opinion was that if even one of the cameras needed for the top view failed to connect, then the MMI would default to radar view. You probably will need to contact Audi for assistance.

Hello,

Thank you for the answer.

Yes, I had seen this kind of problem on some forums.

My problem is not that the display switches to the radar view.

My problem is rather that I can't display the cameras at all. As if I didn't have any.

I can now only display the radar view. No more cameras at all.

I checked the fuse in the trunk. It is OK.

I just ordered a VCDS cable to see if there are any faults.

Does anyone know what I can check in the coding that could cause this?

Thanks again for your help.

Some news for my problem...
I ordered a VCDS cable to see if I can find the origin of the problem.
While doing an autoscan, VCDS suddenly crashes when interrogating the 6C module (reversing camera).
However, I can interrogate all ECUs individually in VCDS without any problem.

The can gateway module tells me:

Address 19: Gateway CAN Labels: None
VAG no. of calculator: 8W7 907 468 Mast: 8W7 907 468
Part and/or version: Gateway H11 8079

Defect priority: 4
Fault frequency: 1
Reset counter: 21
Mileage: 69574 km
Date: 2020.11.23
Time: 06:56:48



This is exactly when I realized my camera problem.
While trying to interrogate module 6C, same as during the autoscan, the program crashes in exactly the same way with strange characters in the VAG number:


The module in question is located in the boot in the hatch on the left. I have tried to disconnect the power supply and interrogate module 6C again -> the program does not crash any more but tells me that the computer does not respond.

Does this module have an internal program? I wonder if I could maybe try to flash it.

I found some used ones on the net. If I buy one, should I program it or is it plug and play?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Thomas

I have replaced the module with a second hand one (same reference and revision number) and everything is OK.
Available if needed

Sorry for the late reply, I was not available these last two days.
Here is a picture of the module I replaced and a drawing of its location:







The module is very easily accessible and can be removed almost without any tool (just a flat screwdriver to extract the plugs)

When I said "available if needed", I meant that I was at your disposal if you needed more info

Thank you so much, did you just replace the module or did you have to program or do any coding?
