C43 W205 2017: Front/Rear camera issue Hellppp!

[MidlandFox]

Hello all,

My C43 2017 battery went flat, I had to jump start her and then trickle charged her full.

Now my front/rear 360 camera wont work, the sides are both fine!

The rear camera flap operates fine when activating the camera, so no issues there. I had a Google and I saw mention of fuse 417 in the boot, replaced that but didn't help.

Given both the side cameras work and the rear flap is also working, I live on hope that it's just a fuse I need help discovering, seems improbable both cameras got fried...

Any help massively appreciated, as I'm actually trying to sell the car!

Here's a pic:

Have you tried resetting the unit itself ??

Your Picture shows 180 Degree View, is there a 360 Degree View in the Camera Settings?

How do I reset the unit itself?

Thanks

Try in system settings .

Yeah, already factory reset and also tried resetting command.

Have you tried pressing the Back Button and then select "Rear View "

Yup, done everything conceivable in the menu, including full factory resets.

This morning, tried messing with fuse 417 again, likewise fuse 323 (I think it was), I can see I lose the 360 capability completely when I pull that, and parktronic respectively.

Also tried disconnecting the battery for 15 mins and holding the terminals together to drain any residual power from the system and forcing a restart of all modules.

At this point, I have no idea... Really need the codes off of it I guess, but have no OBD reader presently.

Any other ideas?

Had a full diagnostic yesterday, nothing really to report other than my battery was stating it was in poor state of charge (vehicle is largely unused presently), so had it on a trickle charge yesterday hoping that today that would eliminate that as a possibility.

The guys also updated my SVS Module for the 360 and recalibrated the cameras, unfortunately that also didn't help, though the module and hardware report no errors.

Going to try replacing the battery as an additional measure, but I'm really stumped otherwise and feel it could only be a random fuse that's indirectly causing it.

Any other ideas?

New battery fitted and recalibrated the cameras, still no good.... Argh!

I think you need to get a MB Star diagnostics at a MB dealership.
Sometimes it is the only way with all the modern tech on cars. Some indies just dont have the scanners or knowledge. It trickles down.

Hello, did you end up finding a solution for this problem? Because I’ve also jumpstarted my c250 and am having the exact same problem. Checked fuses and changed the camera and still hasn’t worked. I need a solution if anyone has one

I hadn’t seen the original thread but it could just be the battery state. Mercedes systems can do all sorts of odd things if battery voltage is on the low side and cameras shutting down could be one symptom of that.

First make sure your battery is fully charged or replaced if it is faulty.
