I think the green wire is for manual transmission cars.

I've had mind for about 8 months, just took a crap on me the other day. Just pulled out of a parking spot and the whole MMI unit started flashing a bit and looked scrambled, eventually came back but now there is no image when I put the car in reverse.

Took everything apart and checked all the connections, couldn't find anything wrong. Even checked the red/white wires underneath the shrink tube as suggested in a previous post, all looked good.

The only thing I get now is a black screen and the parking lines. I'm pretty bummed.

Regarding the green wire--I have DSG and didn't need this. It meant for manual cars.
