Thanks for your email, we have seen this before.
This can happen if the reverse data in the vehicle is not correct for the system. You can resolve this by connecting the orange Rear-C wire on the power loom to the reverse light positive of the car, when this orange wire receives 12v then the screen will switch to the factory system to view the camera. This will stabilise the signal.

Alternatively, you can hold the HOME button to switch out and view the reverse camera.

Sincerely,
Response Team
I had the same issue. If you aren't comfortable with pulling the passenger seat and rear parcel shelf out to get at the wiring loom or know exactly which one it is I would get someone to fit it. It's a bit of a dick job.

You can in theory get to the same wire from behind the cubby between the seats but honestly I couldn't make enough room to see what I was doing.

Well was waiting for electrician but he was busy so took the bull by the horns and did it my self had found the the middle of the wires on the light fitting was the one to tap into but of a faff running the wire to the unit but not to bad.
All connections were soldered and heat shrunk covered (I am building a kit car so getting used to it) and it worked first time just to tidy the cubby hole between the seats and job done.

James is booked to do mine next Friday, I asked about the backup camera he said it will work fine and the factory phone kit as he doesn't use the unique car play device for that reason

I didn't know others did the same tech besides Unique but if everything works I'll be a happy man

I use Tomtom Go - its really good on Carplay and it works offline too.

Google Maps and Waze from time to time too.

Apple Music for music player but Spotify works well too.

James from JHAudioSolutions came to mine today and fitted the Carplay module, couldn't be happier with the results, its transformed the car

I love having google maps as the satnav rather than the crappy old Jag nav

Highly recommend James

Aye I've used it for both. Works as expected without issue.
