Is it normal for the Volkswagen CC's reversing camera flip cover to be unresponsive?
2 Answers
The unresponsiveness of the Volkswagen CC's reversing camera flip cover is abnormal and requires timely inspection and repair. The reversing camera is an important feature of a car, often utilized in conjunction with the vehicle's rearview mirrors. Below is a detailed introduction about car rearview mirrors: Overview: Car rearview mirrors are located on both the left and right sides of the car's front and inside the car's interior. They reflect the situation behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas. They serve as the "second pair of eyes," expanding the driver's field of vision. Precautions: Car rearview mirrors are important safety components, with particular attention paid to their mirror surface, shape, and operation. There are corresponding industry standards for the quality and installation of rearview mirrors, which should not be altered arbitrarily.
When I first drove the Volkswagen CC, I also encountered a malfunction with the reversing camera flip cover. This is definitely not normal. After careful investigation, the most common issue was found to be a burnt-out micro motor in the flip cover mechanism, especially after water ingress during rainy days. It could also be a broken wire in the trunk wiring harness. Volkswagen's wiring design has some issues, and repeated opening and closing of the trunk can easily snap the wires. Don't rush to restart the infotainment system; instead, try listening closely to the rear of the car when reversing to see if you can hear the buzzing sound of the motor. If there's sound but the cover doesn't flip open, it's likely a mechanical jam. If there's no sound, it's probably an electrical issue. Last time, I went directly to the 4S shop and replaced the entire flip cover assembly, which cost nearly two thousand including labor. But now, I don't have to worry about scraping the curb when reversing.
