Default 2011 Q7, back-up camera not working.

Ive got a 2011 Q7 and can see that theres a back-up camera in the rear.

But when I park, the only thing that appears is a diagram of the car with parking sensors.

Anyone have a similar experience? Any known fixes?

Did it ever work? Give us some more information; who, what, why, and when.

I bought the car used about a month ago and it hasnt worked in the time that Ive owned it.

Nor do I see the option to turn it on in the interface.

Sounds like you might have the "graphics" view selected. There's a separate selection for camera in the setup menu to switch it out of graphics. Change the default view and the camera should appear instead when you go in reverse

I'll look for that option.

In the mean time, I'm going to take and post pics of my MMI system incase anyone is familiar with the specifics of my particular unit.

Sound we have the same problem.

I am new, sorry if this has been posted before. I am just looking for help. New to me, 2011 Q7 TDI Prestige, my first German car. When I shift into reverse, there is a long beep. The display shows rear cam for about 10 seconds, ALL sensors (front and rear) show gray, and then the display goes off and the parking button blinks. If I press the button twice, I can see the rear cam again for about 10 sec (same cam and moving images) again, but I receive no sensor data (all remain gray). What can be the fix? any information will be helpful. any help within 100 miles of Seattle, Washington, would be great.

Here are some pics from my display.

As far as I can tell, these are the only menu options and unfortunately, I dont see one for the camera... :-(
