My car has the same rear view camera fault. Did you ever ask your dealer about it? My camera sometimes does strange things like black screen.

I think this error is from leaving the car in reverse and not having the ignition turned on. Car thinks camera is faulty due to no power going to it. Don't think it's anything to worry about though.

I've not been aware its happened 3 times like the fault code says.
I was aware of it happening once but I put it down to me putting it into reverse then straight away putting it into 1st so I thought I was too quick for the system.
It resulted in me reversing with a black screen.

Can anyone that DISABLED DRL  (or at least enabled that option in the menu),  can you please post your coding on here?

like the long coding instead of the instructions
"Go to [09] Central Electrics
Go to Access
Enter code 31347
Go to Adaptation and change:
"Tagfahrlicht Aktivierung durch BAP oder Bedienfolge moeglich" to Active"

Can voice activation be added via  VCDS seeing as there are already voice button and the head unit and steering wheel or was it a box that needed ticking when ordering. My brother in law has just picked up a new Seat Leon FR And it has it as standard and seems to work really well.

[mcmaddy]

Voice activation is standard with the nav pro but not on discover. It may be activated by vcds but I doubt it.

Sorry if it's been asked before but how difficult is it to get hold the cables and software to be able to do this myself? what's the sort of cost involved?

[mcmaddy]

I wouldn't bother the voice activation is rubbish anyway.

You can also get them in the UK from

http://www.gendan.co.uk/product_VCHU_9.html

The Gendan link gives a comparison between the micro can & the +can
Basically the +can is more backward compatible but is dearer.

Buying the +can from there works out about £15 dearer than buying from the US but I'm not sure if you would have to pay import duties if it came from the US?
