Reversing Camera

[acer54]

According to the build sheet for my Cayenne it was fitted with a factory reversing camera, cut a long story short it doesn't work and I cannot see any evidence that its trying to work.

Where are these factory fitted cameras located? The only place I can see it might be is under a flap just below the tailgate glass hatch lifting mechanism, am I right?

I've never seen one of these camera's on all the Cayennes I've looked at, I assume it should show the image on the PCM screen but as I've said absolutely nothing is seen there.

Update.

The PCM was changed before my ownership for a second hand one, does it need coding for the reverse camera to work?

I'm told from other sources that the pcm will need coding for the camera to work, it's in on the 21st May for other work so I'll have it looked at then.

Almost certainly a coding issue in my opinion, especially as you mention the PCM was changed.

PCM coded and now camera working - result!
