How to Deal with a Blurry Rearview Camera Screen?
2 Answers
Solutions for a blurry rearview camera screen are as follows: Check the wiring issue: If the rearview camera screen often becomes blurry when shifting into reverse gear, it is likely a wiring problem. You can open it up to inspect the connection lines yourself to see if there are any breaks in the wiring. Navigation system malfunction: The navigation system's interface may have poor contact. If this is the case, try unplugging and re-plugging the interface, then observe whether the blurry screen issue is resolved. Inspect the imaging system: This situation might be caused by a display screen problem. Check if the display screen is faulty and whether it can be repaired. Also, consider whether the image decoder is malfunctioning.
When the reversing camera screen is distorted, I usually first check if the camera lens is covered by mud or dirt. A simple wipe with a soft cloth often solves many distortion issues. Then, I inspect the cable connected to the camera to see if the plug is loose or the wire is crushed. Gently wiggle it a few times to see if it returns to normal. If that doesn’t work, restart the car’s system—for example, by turning the engine off and on again or performing a small reset on the central control screen. Once, while driving home, my reversing screen was full of static. After some troubleshooting, I found that the camera’s connector had oxidized, causing poor contact. A quick spray of rust remeder fixed the issue—otherwise, reversing would have been much riskier, increasing the chance of hitting something. During regular car maintenance, remember to periodically clean the camera and inspect the wiring to avoid major problems. If all else fails, take it to a professional repair shop promptly.
