How did you connect it? Did you connect the + and - cables to the rear light?

Thanks
The + cable of the camera should go directly to the Mr 12 Volt. The - should either go to a proper chassis ground like one of the bolts in the battery well. You are able to get the camera working without grounding it at all, and some have had this work better than grounding it. I tried this approach and am having some intermittent interference issues, still have not tried to debug it. Works 75% of the time but get occasional interference or no signal at all. Possibly a bad connection on my part.

I have exactly the same symptoms.
Also with flickering when turning on.
I'll make a video of it.
Have connected + from rear view camera to Mr12volt. Ground I have not connected.
