Audi A7 backup camera not working

how’s it going all!
trying to save some $$ here by not taking the a7 into the dealer... my backup camera suddenly stopped working the other day. Nothing in my normal routine changed. So when I put the car into reverse I get a long tone and the parking aid button blinks.
Did a diagnostic on the car and it says warning buzzer for parking aid CH15C interruption/short circuit to ground DTC STATUS ACTIVE/STATIC
So... I bought a OEM parking buzzer and found the rear parking buzzer after ripping apart the passenger side rear trim next to the c pillar. Replaced the buzzer and it’s still not working. Any ideas? I checked fuses, checked wiring, checked all 8 sensors and they are all working, I’m stumped. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!! Also attached some photos of the diagnostic readout and parking buzzer

For some reason the photos are not uploading. Anyways it’s a photo of my diagnostic tool. The readout says “warning buzzer for parking aid CH15C interruption/short circuit to ground DTC STATUS ACTIVE/static

Not 100% sure but it sounds like it’s not a chime/buzzer fault based on that code. I literally had the same issue this week but my code was very clear that the front chime had a short/intermittent circuit etc etc. Swapped the front speaker/chime and it’s good as new. I’d research that code, based on the verbiage for the front failure it doesn’t sound like that’s it :/

I have a 2012 A7 and when washing my car, I noticed that I have a camera in the back (looks stock). The trim is basic, so is there a reason as to why I would have a camera? I would put it in reverse and I don't have a picture.
Thanks!
Thanks!
