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.

You are right on the location of the camera and it is supposed to flip when reverse is selected. I remember reading about them sticking closed and being repaired either in a forum or Youtube video. Let me see if I can find it.
Some indications here to remove the camera: https://www.renntech.org/tutorials/a...-stock-camera/

Edit: Here's the post I had in my mind, hopefully some lubrication will do: https://www.renntech.org/topic/49757...getting-stuck/

Thanks for the heads up, very informative information, will investigate further now I know how it works.
One small point if the cover is stuck or the camera is not working surely in reverse gear the pcm should go black or change from the normal screen?

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

Libast

Very very likely- like almost 99% sure it does.

Yes, it requires coding via a PIWIS. Check out this thread https://www.renntech.org/topic/26698...allation-help/

It's in on the 21st May for other work, I'll have it coded then, thanks for your input I much appreciate it!

PCM coded and reverse camera working - result!
