Default Unable to communicate with Module 6C Rearview Camera

Hi all, my first post.

Firstly, apologies for any errors, and secondly thanks for any help, in advance.

I have a first gen, pre facelift Audi A7 with the headup display /larger MMI screen. The car has a reverse camera fitted but it does not work.

I have tried to replace the Rearview camera module PN: 4H0 907 441 for a known working unit, but to no avail.

I could live with the camera not working but the really annoying thing is, because it does not work, the display does not change when i go into reverse so I do not have the OPS graphics (which i could live with).

A friend did a scan on the car and said that there was an error where module 6c could not be communicated with. I have taken extra effort to ensure the connectors going into the module are not loose.

Can anyone help me as to what else i could try or possibly how I can have the rearview camera coded out so the car thinks it ONLY has the sensors installed?

Thanks again

Hello and welcome. You may have to visit your Audi dealer to have them re-code the camera module to work in your vehicle. Many Audi modules are paired to the VIN of the vehicle in order to prevent theft. That may be the culprit.

Cheers, good luck.

Thanks for the reply.

From what i've read, i do not believe that the module uses Component Protection.

I'm tempted to re-post this in the A6 forum in the hope I can find more help as the cars are similar , just dont want to break any rules...
