How to Adjust a Reversed Rearview Camera?
2 Answers
Solution for a reversed rearview camera: Swap the front camera and the rearview camera. The issue of left-right inversion in the rearview camera's image occurs when the front-view camera is mistakenly installed at the rear of the car during installation, which is the difference between the front camera and the rearview camera. Additionally, another possibility is that the vehicle's infotainment system has mirror image conversion enabled. You can re-engage the reverse gear, find the settings button in the navigation device under the rearview camera mode, check if there is a mirror adjustment or reverse mirror function, then click to set it, and finally turn it off. The rearview camera uses a far-infrared wide-angle camera device installed at the rear of the car, displaying obstacles behind the vehicle clearly on the in-car display screen. When the reverse gear is engaged, the rearview camera automatically activates the high-definition rearview camera at the rear of the car, clearly displaying the rear situation on the LCD screen, allowing the driver to accurately grasp the road conditions behind.
I've been running an auto repair shop for over a decade, and reversed backup camera images are a common issue. The most likely cause is an upside-down camera installation, especially right after replacing the camera. You can try rotating the camera 180 degrees and resecuring it, just make sure the wiring harness isn't twisted. If you haven't replaced the camera recently, check your infotainment system settings for a mirror/flip option - most modern vehicles have this adjustment in the backup camera settings. Older models are trickier, requiring access to engineering mode (entry methods vary by brand and can be found online). As a last resort, try pressing the reset button (usually a tiny hole near the camera) with a pin. Once, a customer had reversed polarity during wiring modification which also caused image reversal - never tamper with wiring yourself in such cases.
