Aftermarket camera to OEM Discover Media question

Hello!
I searched and searched for answer but none really was correct for me.

Im Installing a aftermarket camera to OEM Discover media. As far as i read, all i really need is for the installation is power and ground to the camera as long as i code the headunit. The need for a reverse signal is not needed, as it runs on canbus correct?

I connected everything as in the picture but its not working. The headunit is coded correct with VCDS. (When i put the car in reverse the correct screen shows up, but its black and after a few seconds it tells me park pilot is not avalible)

What am i missing here??
(The car also has park sensors if that matters)

Thanks!!

Have you got parking sensors? Did you code them?
 
No if you have turned on the coding in modules 10 and 5F it should work. What year van is it
 
Does it actually switch over but just give you a black screen?
 
Have you taken the 12v switched from a reverse light feed or from a true switched 12v that uses the reverse light feed as a trigger for the relay?
 
Where did you take power and ground from
 
The camera also has a red wire coming from the rca connector but i guess that is just a passtrough +12v if u want to take power from the front? See image :D

Yes, i get the overview look, with the car to the left for the pdc and the background is all black, after a few seconds i get kicked back to main screen and its say park pilot is not avalible.
