Dnx9980hd/cmos-300 Button Greyed Out

 I have a DNX 9980HD that I just added a CMOS-300 rearview camera. I have the exact same setup on my other vehicle. When I attempt the camera setup on the headunit, the CMOS 300 button is greyed out. I can only select other. The back up camera works fine on reverse interupt except for the multi angle camera functions thought the headunit.  I have the reverse wire connected to the backup lights but I see in the instructions that I dont need to do that with this headunit. I have tried it both ways and have recheck all connections to accesories, power and ground.  Also the camera works fine with the CMOS switch unit for multi angle. I dont understand why the button is grayed out on the camera setup.  Is there another option that needs to be set. Also I used the switch for the CMOS camera to validate that the ID is set to ID1.
