Why is the reversing image not displayed when the Bora is in R gear?
4 Answers
The phenomenon of a black screen in the reversing image is most likely due to poor line contact. The specific details are as follows: 1. Check the lines: It is necessary to promptly inspect the connection points between the lines and the vehicle's installation to see if there is any loose connection. If there is, it will naturally cause abnormal imaging of the reversing image, and in this case, simply reconnecting it properly will suffice. Of course, it could also be because the video power line has aged, and you can try replacing it with a new one. 2. The reversing camera has been used for too long: Prolonged use of the reversing camera can lead to poor chip light sensitivity, and there may even be a lot of snowflake-like noise. Of course, it could also be due to defects in the car's circuit design.
I drove a Volkswagen Bora for ten years, so I'm all too familiar with the issue of the reversing camera malfunctioning. First, check if the camera lens is covered by dust or mud—wipe the lens on the rear bumper with a cloth. If that doesn't work, the camera's wiring might be loose; open the trunk and check the connection points, then press them firmly. In the infotainment system settings, make sure the reversing camera function is turned on—sometimes it gets accidentally disabled. Blown fuses are also common; check the fuse box near the glove compartment for the one corresponding to the reversing camera and replace it if it's blown. If the camera itself is aged or damaged, you'll need to replace it. This issue shouldn't be delayed—without the camera, blind spots increase, making it easy to hit objects or people in residential areas or parking lots. Safe driving comes first. Regularly cleaning the lens during car washes can prevent most problems—don't wait until an accident happens to regret it.
I've experienced the awkward situation of no reverse camera display while driving my Bora for daily commutes. Here's how to troubleshoot: First, wipe the lens of the rear bumper camera - dirt is often the culprit. Don't overlook wiring issues; pop the trunk to check if camera connectors are loose or worn. Verify the reverse camera is enabled in infotainment settings. If a fuse is blown, locate and replace it in the fuse box. A faulty camera requires replacement, but try these simpler steps first. Reverse cameras are crucial for safety - missing visuals during turns or parking can lead to scrapes, so fix it promptly. For prevention, include camera system checks during regular maintenance to avoid sudden failures.
As an experienced car repairer, let me analyze the reasons for the malfunctioning reverse camera on your Bora. If the lens is dirty, clean it with a damp cloth. The camera wiring in the trunk area is prone to poor contact, so try reconnecting it firmly. Check if the central control settings accidentally turned off the camera function. If a fuse is blown, refer to the manual for replacement. Frequent malfunctions may indicate a damaged camera that needs replacement. Visit a professional shop promptly for inspection to ensure driving safety.
