The reasons for the sudden disappearance of the BMW X3 reversing camera are: 1. Poor contact in the car wiring leading to an open circuit. 2. The car reversing camera has been used for too long, resulting in poor chip photosensitivity. 3. The car reversing camera display screen is damaged. Additional information: Methods for repairing reversing camera faults are: 1. If it is a problem with the display screen, it is necessary to go to a professional automotive electronics repair shop to inspect and repair or replace the display screen. 2. If the camera is damaged, it must be replaced promptly. 3. If there is poor contact at the connector, it is necessary to promptly inspect and repair the wiring or replace the car wiring.
When I first drove the BMW X3, I also encountered a sudden black screen with the reversing camera, which was really nerve-wracking. The camera being covered in mud is a common issue, especially after driving in the rain. Another possibility is that the trunk was closed too hard, loosening the camera's wiring connector—this requires checking by opening the trunk liner. Occasionally, the infotainment system might freeze; holding down the volume knob on the center console for 30 seconds to force a restart can solve most of these issues. If the screen shows a blue screen or snow-like static, it’s likely a short circuit in the video transmission line. Oh, and once my friend’s car had its reversing camera power line crushed during the installation of a dashcam because the worker didn’t secure the wiring properly—such faults caused by aftermarket modifications need thorough inspection.
