What causes the sudden failure of the Golf's reversing camera display?

[MatthewRose]

The reasons for the sudden failure of the Golf's reversing camera display include damage to or obstruction of the reversing camera, poor contact in the camera wiring, or a depleted battery. Camera damage or obstruction: If the camera is damaged, the image cannot be transmitted to the computer, and thus it will not display. In this case, you should take the car to a repair shop or a 4S dealership for maintenance, and if necessary, replace the camera. If the camera is merely obstructed by debris, simply remove the obstruction. Poor wiring contact: Frequently driving on rough roads may cause the internal wiring of the vehicle to loosen or detach due to the bumpy environment. When the wiring has poor contact, the images captured by the camera cannot be transmitted to the main unit, and the reversing camera will not display. This situation requires dismantling the center console panel for inspection. Depleted battery: If the car's lights or multimedia system are used for an extended period while the engine is off, the battery may become depleted. When the battery is low or dead, the car's multimedia system will not function, and the reversing camera will not display. In this case, simply recharge or replace the battery.
