Why is the reversing camera not displaying on the Mercedes-Benz GLA200?
2 Answers
The reasons why the reversing camera is not displaying on the Mercedes-Benz GLA200 include a malfunction in the display screen of the reversing camera, wiring faults, camera failure, or loose plugs in the reversing camera system. Below are the specific reasons: Display settings issue: There is a camera switch control in the display settings. Simply adjust the switch to "ON". Camera failure. Replace the reversing camera. Wiring problem: This is the most common issue. Since the wiring harness of the reversing camera runs from the dashboard all the way to the trunk, the long route increases the likelihood of a loose connection or poor contact at some point, requiring careful inspection. Reversing camera malfunction: The issue of the reversing camera not displaying often occurs in vehicles where the camera was installed aftermarket, primarily due to product quality or installation problems.
My Mercedes-Benz GLA200's reversing camera suddenly went black two days ago – it was so frustrating! Later, I discovered that the camera at the trunk was covered in mud (thanks to driving on rough roads in the rain). Cleaning it with wet wipes fixed the issue immediately. Another scenario: my friend's car had a snowy screen when reversing, and the 4S shop found that the camera's wiring connector was loose. Simply re-plugging it solved the problem. If there’s neither dirt nor a loose connection, it might be a blown fuse—check the F46 fuse (the 10-amp one) in the engine compartment fuse box. Replacing it yourself costs just a few bucks. High summer temperatures can also cause the infotainment system to glitch. I usually reboot the system by long-pressing the volume button before getting out of the car, similar to fixing a laggy phone. If none of these work, the camera might be broken or the main module could have a bug.
