I have ordered a replacement camera. Will update with results.

EDIT:
Replaced camera today and received the same results. Connected the camera directly to 12v on battery and received video signal. Is my emulator bad? Possibly incorrect wiring from emulator to quad lock harness?

Emulator seems to be functioning correctly as iDrive switches into reverse camera when putting the gear selector into reverse which makes me believe the wiring is correct.
I am at the same point as you. Replacement camera has arrived and still won't display on cic screen. What is frustrating is I can get my dash cam to display on the CIC via the same input but not either of the backup cameras. I just tested the new camera on my X5 CIC and it displays there so that tells me it may be something related to coding. My next test will be to remove the "top view active" and see if that helps. If that does not work I will try the other inputs and wert settings. I tried to compare the config files but there are to many differences between an E70 and E90 plus the CIC are on different software updates. The E90 is on the latest version.
