What could be the reason for the sudden failure of the Magotan's reversing camera display?
2 Answers
Magotan's reversing camera not displaying could be due to disconnection of the control line for the display screen, as well as the power and video lines of the camera. Below is relevant information: 1. Background: The Magotan originates from the Future B6, which is closely related to the Passat B6, and it is the first B-class sedan to be produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen since its establishment. According to FAW-Volkswagen, "Ma" symbolizes confidence, decisiveness, and dynamism; "Gotan" represents soaring, surpassing, and passion. Starting from the B6, the latest Volkswagen B-class cars began to be produced by FAW-Volkswagen, namely the Magotan series. 2. Vehicle Maintenance: The current new Magotan comes with four displacement options: 1.4TSI, 1.8TSI, 2.0TSI, and 3.0V6. The 3.0V6 is a brand-new power unit, while the 1.8TSI engine is paired with a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, identical to the 1.4TSI. The 2.0TSI and 3.0V6 continue to use the classic 6-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission.
Last time my Magotan's reversing camera suddenly went black, I first checked the camera wiring harness connector on the inside of the trunk lid, which is the most prone to loosening. After peeling back the rubber sleeve, I found moisture condensation inside the connector. After drying it and reconnecting, it worked again. This kind of rainy day issue can usually be fixed by a repair shop in ten minutes. If the wiring is fine, it might be caused by the car's head unit freezing - try turning off the engine and waiting ten minutes before restarting. I always keep spare fuses in my car, so I recommend checking if the 15A reversing camera fuse on the instrument panel side has blown. Replacing it yourself only costs about two yuan. The camera unit itself rarely fails, but if it needs replacement, a genuine part only costs around 800 yuan, which is cheaper than expected. When washing your car, avoid directly spraying high-pressure water at the rear camera area - it's afraid of both water ingress and impact.
