2005 Nissan Fuga 350xv Side Camera and Reverse Cameras not working!!!!!
Hi, I couldn't find the right place to post this. I bought a fuga 350xv and I love the car but I would really like to have my side camera and Reverse Cameras fully functional. Any time I put the car in reverse I get a blank screen and when I push the side camera button I get the same blank screen. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! I don't know how to add photos but it's basically the outline of the screen showing but blank in the center. Any advice would be appreciated and if this is in the wrong place please point me in the right direction.

Welcome aboard.
I thought I saw some posts about a backup camera going blank, but unfortunately couldn't locate them in my quick search. If memory serves me right, the situation required the camera to be replaced.
I might need to search a little more thoroughly to find the exact threads.
I think your issue might be the camera control unit since all your cameras are acting up.
Bummer that the North American 2006-2010 Y50 platform did not get side mirror cameras.
I'll refer you to the M37, M56, Q70 subforum as some of those had the all-around view... but also check the factory service manuals of both models (AV - audiovisual section) for some troubleshooting steps. It is linked in my signature below.

Thanks brother. Somebody suggested the cameras were ok but that I needed to replace the radio itself because the receiver went bad. Have you ever heard of this? Also I would like to know if I can swap with any old radio or does it have to meet certain criteria?

CJ, where are you located?
The signal flow diagram says that the camera unit takes the image from the camera and gets it into some kind of signal, then the AV control unit (head unit basically) converts this signal to an image on the screen when the reverse(for North America) is selected.
If your head unit is otherwise working fine, I don't see why it would be the main issue here. Maybe the computer chip that processes camera images is cooked (computer guys, please correct me if this is not how electronics like this work) and it just outputs a blank image to the screen, but I think it's more likely that the camera module is giving a jumbled signal.
I think if you sourced a used part, I would get one from a similarly equipped model to be safe. For example I don't know if the head unit from a base model Y50 with no rear view camera would know what to do with the images coming from the camera. Maybe it works, considering the display screen of a navigation model and one without seem to have the same part number, just haven't heard about it being done.
