What are the reasons for the vv5 reversing camera not displaying?
3 Answers
The reasons for the vv5 reversing camera not displaying are as follows: 1. Camera malfunction: You can purchase and install a new one. When buying, it's best to choose a camera with an illumination power supply so it can be seen at night. 2. Loose power cord: This causes a power supply failure for the camera. Simply plug the power cord back in tightly and check the plug for any water traces, as water-induced short circuits often cause power supply issues. 3. Damaged wiring: You can use sealant to repair and secure the wiring firmly to prevent it from being pinched off while driving. 4. Display screen damage: If the display screen is faulty, the reversing camera will definitely not show. Carefully check if the screen is cracked or if the surrounding wires are loose. If all else fails, you may need to purchase and install a new one.
I've been driving the VV5 for several years, and the reversing camera not displaying is quite common. First, it could be a camera issue—the lens might be covered with mud, rain, or stains, affecting the image. Try wiping it clean with a soft cloth to see if that helps. If cleaning doesn't work, check the wiring connections, especially the cables near the trunk lid, as repeated opening and closing can cause wear or looseness. Another possibility is a blown fuse, located in the fuse box under the lower left side of the dashboard—just refer to the manual for a diagram and replace it. Sometimes, the infotainment system freezes; restarting the engine or waiting a few minutes before turning it on again might fix it. Don't delay addressing this issue, as losing the camera feed while reversing can lead to accidents in parking lots or narrow alleys. I recommend visiting a certified repair shop as soon as possible and avoiding DIY fixes on circuit boards to prevent further damage. Safety first—regular maintenance checks on the camera can prevent many headaches.
My VV5 once had an issue where the reversing camera didn't display, but I fixed it myself quite easily. First, the camera lens was completely covered in dust - wiping it clean solved the problem. If that didn't help, loose or rusted wiring connections might be the cause; I checked under the rear cover to see if anything was disconnected. Fuse issues are also common - the fuse box is located on the driver's side, and replacing the corresponding fuse (refer to the diagram) often works. For system crashes, disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a few minutes before reconnecting can resolve many situations. However, when it comes to internal circuits, don't force anything - if you can't fix it, it's safer and more reliable to seek professional help from a 4S shop. This feature makes reversing much easier and is generally hassle-free; just remember to avoid water exposure and dirt buildup during daily use.
