Analysis of the reasons why the reversing camera does not work, the screen is black, and there is no movement when reversing

If nothing happens on the screen of the head unit when reversing, there are two reasons.

1. You did not activate the head unit’s backup camera function, you need to use VCDS to activate it.

2. If you have activated the backup camera of the head unit, then your CANBUS communication is out of order, and your gateway can not communication with the head unit.

The probability of the first situation is relatively high. Watch this video on how to activate the backup camera.
