How to Correct the Reversed Display of Rearview Camera?
2 Answers
First, locate the 'Rearview Mirror Image' option in the car navigation settings page and turn it off. If the rearview camera is used as a front-view camera, the display will show a reversed image. Simply reinstall the camera to its original position.
The reversing camera on my previous car often displayed a mirrored image, making it hard to see the road conditions clearly due to the upside-down view. This is mostly caused by the rear camera being installed upside down or the wrong direction being selected in the settings. You should first sit in the car, start the engine, shift into reverse gear to bring up the image, then look for the settings menu on the central control screen—usually under multimedia or reversing assist options. There should be a switch for image flip or mirror mode; try clicking it, and sometimes it corrects itself. If it's an aftermarket camera you installed yourself, you need to check if the camera is oriented correctly—the arrow mark should align below the license plate. Don’t tighten the screws if it’s installed backward to avoid loosening again. I remember once finishing the installation without checking the settings, and I almost scraped the wall while reversing. So for safety, clean the camera monthly and check for any misalignment. If you really can’t fix it, go to a repair shop immediately—they have professional tools to solve it in minutes, preventing accidents on the road. A veteran driver’s advice: turn off the power before working to avoid short circuits, and pay attention to these details during routine maintenance to prevent issues beforehand.
