I had experienced several intermittent failures with the camera where after putting the car in reverse, the camera would turn on properly, but after several seconds, I'd see some distortion/noise in the picture and the camera would then cut off (similar to how it does when the shifter is placed into a forward gear and the car goes into forward motion. I opened the panel in the trunk on the passenger side and saw what appeared to be fiber optic cable connections. I think there were two cables close to each other. Sorry, I didn't take any pics but the cables didn't appear to be color coded or have color traces on them if I recall correctly - they may have been dark brown or gray in color.) At any rate, all I did was wiggle them to ensure they felt like they were properly seated in the connectors they terminated into, and following that, the camera has been working without issue ever since (it's been months now). Also noteworthy was when the failure occurred, I saw an error for the camera with the VAGCOM scan - something like "Backup Camera Intermittent Failure". After checking the connections in the trunk and clearing the error, neither the camera display problem or the related scan error has returned.
