Warwick Duo Reversing Camera

This the latest problem I have with our 2015 Warwick Duo at 3050 miles.

The Veba reversing camera appears to have given up on me, I now get just a white screen with vertical colour lines.

Has anybody had this and if so have you a fix please?

I have contacted the dealer and was advised to check the plug connector near the rear view mirror which is in the headlining, but this did not fix the fault.

It is now booked in once again at their service department.

We have a 2014 Warwick XL with camera from new. It often just had a blue screen with  NO SIGNAL showing. Have just had the monitor on the mirror replaced under warrantee and it seems to be working fine now.

The Veba system has a poor record. It is not now in production.  The camera on my system became intermittent and the dealer could not find a replacement compatible to the monitor. Eventually a new system was fitted.  The upper brake light assembly was replaced with one with an inbuilt camera, and the clumsy Vega monitor replaced by a  neat 3.5 inch which sits neatly in the corner on top of the dash board.  Better picture quality, and the monitor does not increase the size of the rear view mirror.  I recommend that you get a new system fitted, because a repair will not keep you out of trouble for long.

Thanks for that TT. I knew they are not much good from first hand experience.

Do you happen to know if there are cameras and monitors compatible with the Veba wiring??

It would be an awful lot easier if the Veba stuff could be junked, and decent equipment simply plugged in at each end.

Bet you can't though. That would be too much to expect.

Thanks

Not sure where that reply went I just posted, so will try again.

Thank you about the two feeds, not sure if I have that set up as I have only found one I/P cable.

Sounds like a good way to go with a different setup, will try it on when I take the van back to Dolphin in 3 weeks, yes fully booked, a sign of the times?

Beginning to wish we had kept the old Van now, never knowing what next is going to fail!

I've had similar problems with the Veba monitor and replaced it with a new one from eBay for £50. The new one very occasionally flashes to a blue screen in hot weather but it's generally ok.

In addition to the connector in the headling there are also two other connections. One in the removeable panel in the driver's door step where it picks up the 12v supply and connects to the camera cable and the other is buried deep in the headlining above the rear doors behind the camera. The ones in the door step are phono plugs and shouldn't be a problem but I had an early failure with the one behind the camera which caused the monitor to flicker.

Saying all that, I suspect that in your case the monitor is faulty. It would have made changing it a lot easier if Autosleeper had positioned the plug below the headlining. In my case I did just that when I replaced it.

Thanks for the tips, I will look at the door step connectors, but the headlining looks a bit complex by the camera. Better if I left it to the dealer as it's only 6 months old!

I agree with the front headlining plug location, the screws holding the blind channel in place need treating with care as they are only holding in the lining.

Problem was still there today after the hottest day yesterday.

I would be surprised if it was the door step connectors as they are a positive fit. You're right in leaving it to the dealer as the trim over the rear doors is glued in place and there's insulation behind. But I would place a bet on it being a fault with the monitor as they're a known problem.

I had endless problems with my Veba being intermittent with a 50/50 chance of blue screen or working, I ended up swapping the step connector around as there are 2 inputs feeding into the cable which terminates in the headlining.  Hey presto it has worked ever since. 

All i can think is the cable supports  different video standards or allows for 2 hardwired inputs.  Autosleepers must  have simply connected the camera to the wrong connector or possibly a faulty connector for the screen.

This 2 minute fix was after at least 3 returns to my dealer who couldnt fix the issue and as soon as they saw a picture assumed it was fixed !

I think it is rather more than a 2 minute fix  on 2015 warwick, as I have found the 3 screws but the step seems a one piece item and looks a bit of a so and so to get out.

Has anyone tried to remove such a step?

Took the van in today, yes it's the monitor that is faulty. Guess they tried one from another van, as the new one has to be ordered.

Time will tell!

It is now occasionally not working again.

Had the monitor replaced under warranty today. Mind you I had to fit it myself as the dealer was up to his eyes in work, took me 5 mins! Just could not fit me today.

Looks good so far, lets hope to keeps working.

Van going back to Peugeot next week, keep getting Vehicle battery low on EC panel, when taken off EHU after a few hours.

I wouldn't rely on the EC panel. Check the vehicle battery voltage with a multimeter. Best to check across the battery terminals but you can check under the bonnet from the jump lead point to the chassis. You should have a voltage around 12.6 if it's fully charged. If it is I'd check the 12v vehicle battery fuse on the main panel.
