Before many bash this post, I understand that using SDD with NON approved cables can be hazardous.

With that said, I initially started looking at SDD V160 with a VCXNANO (VXDIAG) cable, and an adjustable 15V 50A power source. GREEN in SDD when doing programming (13.5V or so as it fluctuates).
Before I connected, the car had 0 error warnings and all car functions were good to include the backup camera. I initially wanted to work with the SDD software so that I could program a second remote, since the previous owner lost it, as well as module programming since I'm a DIY guy.
When I first plugged in the VCI, EVERYTHING crashed. All the lights on the dash came on, all modules were reporting failure... etc. NOT cool. After hours of attempting to reset modules, update them... etc. I still had modules with failures. MOST said HIGH SPEED CAN BUS communications failures.
I decided now to update to the latest SDD V164 and also purchased what was advertised as the original Mongoose JLR cable from DrewTech (online source, not them directly). V164 looked better and connected well with the VCX box. The Mongoose was throwing even more errors. I'm not sure if it's a firmware thing on the actual Mongoose cable, or something else. But for now, I can't seem to use the Mongoose JLR cable with V164. (Yes, it does see it as a MongoosePro JLR cable and does communicate with the car showing module issues... the drivers were installed from the SDD V164 folder)

After several more hours of back and forth with different modules and updating them, I am now left with the "CAMERA FAULT" error on the dash and the head unit won't even flicker the screen when selecting Reverse on the shifter.

Does anyone know the specific modules in relation to the camera system that are interconnected to get this working?

Also.... what in the world is the difference between "Premium , High line, Low line" audio systems? I have an idea, but being the "standard" came with the Meridian 700W system, I was under the impression (initially) that this was Premium. Is the Meridian "standard" the Low Line or High Line if not Premium? It may be that I have the incorrect selection even though I tell the SDD software to use "AS BUILT settings when doing the modules.

 

To add: The Cable I have shows as MongoosePro JLR

DLL Version: MongoosePro JLR J2534 Library v1.1.16.0
Firmware Version: MongoosePro JLR FW:1.1.16.0 BL:1.1.8.0
VCI Manager doesn't show it. But when loading into SDD, It sees the cable and shows good. Since I'm "new" to the Mongoose and JLR, I do not know if this version of the FW loaded on the cable is current or old and not compatible with V164.

 

 

Does anyone have a service manual for the 2016 F-Type S that may show a circuit diagram for the Camera? What modules it is involved with and the path of communications? I really would like to solve this "camera fault" issue since it is so vague.

 

Are these of any use to you? Hope so!

 

I did find a manual.... 28377 pages... oy vey... I think I found these pages. Now need to find out where these things are.... lol. To include the parking aid control module. IF that is where the camera plugs into.

 

Wonder if RHD vs LHD in the US is different?
