Default C7 Programming and the Backup Camera

Hi. I just had my 2015 Corvette returned from Lingenfelter. They performed the 700 HP upgrade and I couldn't be happier with the car's performance. However, the backup camera is no longer working. I suspect that in the process of programming the car a setting may have been reset and not restored. That's my working theory. I checked fuses and console settings. The Reverse symbol does come on the dash and in the HUD, however, the display does not change-it just stays on the current screen I happen to be on.

I used to own a Tech 2 and I understand that it does not support my 2015 Vette. My questions:
1-What is the tool equivalent to a Tech 2 that I can use to review/restore these settings on a C7?
2-Does anyone else have a theory as to why the backup camera may no longer be working?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I doubt tuning the car had anything to do with the camera. Tuning changes some tables in the ECM. The camera works through the BCM, HMI and Video Processing Modules and starts working when it gets a +12 V signal from the transmission when it is placed in Reverse.

Here are some pictures of the related FSM pages:





















It sounds like a cable may not be hooked up. Check your back up lights to see if they work.

2015 doesn't have a video processing module. That was introduced on 2016, and only then on cars that had the UVJ front cameras.

The reverse lights are indeed NOT working-great catch! Loose cable you think? Can you please guide me on where to start looking?
