How to Solve the Flickering Issue of the Rearview Camera?
2 Answers
The flickering phenomenon in the rearview camera is most likely due to poor contact in the wiring. The solutions are as follows: 1. It is necessary to promptly inspect the wiring and the connection points where it is installed in the vehicle to check for any loose connections. If there are, it will naturally cause abnormal imaging in the rearview camera. In this case, simply ensuring a secure connection will suffice. It could also be due to aging of the video power cable, in which case you can try replacing it with a new one. 2. If the rearview camera still flickers after checking the above two scenarios, it might be because the rearview camera has been used for too long, leading to poor chip photosensitivity, and may even result in a snowy screen effect. Another possible reason is a defect in the vehicle's circuit design. However, issues related to chip abnormalities and design defects are beyond the scope of DIY fixes and require inspection, repair, or replacement at a professional repair shop.
Hey, my car's reversing camera has been flickering these days, making me nervous when backing up. It's probably due to poor wire contact, especially noticeable on bumpy roads. I think I'll check it myself first—open the hood or trunk and see if the camera's wire is loose, then try tightening it by hand. If that doesn’t work, the camera might be broken and need replacement. I’ve also heard that system software conflicts can cause flickering, so you could try restarting the car—remove the key, wait a few minutes, and then start it again to see if it helps. Of course, safety comes first. If the reversing image keeps jumping around, it’s manageable during the day, but don’t force it at night. Find a flat spot to park to avoid scratches. Regular maintenance helps too—clean the camera lens to prevent mud from blocking it.
