What are the reasons for the Golf's reversing camera not displaying?
2 Answers
Golf's reversing camera not displaying reasons are as follows: 1. Poor line contact: It is very likely due to poor line contact. It is necessary to promptly check the connection between the lines and the vehicle's installation to see if there is any loose connection. If there is, simply reconnect the loose part properly. 2. Line aging: It could also be due to aging of the video power cable. You can try replacing it with a new power cable. Additionally, prolonged use of the reversing camera may lead to poor chip photosensitivity, resulting in a snowy screen phenomenon, or in severe cases, the so-called black screen phenomenon.
Oh man, the reverse camera on my Golf stopped working last time and it drove me crazy. The most common reason is the rear camera lens being dirty or directly damaged - after rain, dust gets in when you open the hatch and blocks the view. Another issue could be wiring problems; the connecting cable in the trunk often gets loose from bumps, so check if the plug is loose or broken. Blown fuses aren't uncommon either - they melt when the current gets too high, so try replacing the fuse in the fuse box. A faulty center console screen or no reverse signal being sent can also cause a black screen; sometimes restarting the infotainment system helps. Anyway, driving in reverse without a camera is super dangerous. I suggest first checking the camera and wiring yourself, and if that doesn't work, get it checked at the dealership ASAP - don't compromise safe driving.
