Rear Mount Camera Removal/Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • The connectivity master unit (CMU) determines the presence/non-presence of a rear mount camera and records it based on the communication status when the ignition is switched ON (engine off or on) or to the ACC position for the first time after the negative battery cable is connected.
  • If the negative battery cable is connected while the connectivity master unit (CMU) has recorded the non-presence of the rear mount camera and thereafter a rear mount camera is installed, the installed rear mount camera will not operate.
  • When installing or removing the rear mount camera, always disconnect the negative battery cable, and after the servicing is completed, switch the ignition to ACC or ON (engine off or on) to allow the connectivity master unit (CMU) to record the presence/non-presence of the rear mount camera.
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (Refer to NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
  2. Remove the service hole cover.
