Why is there no sound in the reversing camera?
2 Answers
The absence of sound in the reversing camera is due to a connection issue between the camera and the central control screen. The solutions are: 1. Purchase a new camera with an illumination power supply, so it can be seen at night; 2. Ensure the power supply plug is tightly connected; 3. Carefully inspect the entire wiring from the camera to its power supply, leaving no blind spots. If any breakage is found, reconnect the wires and seal them with tape; 4. Use alcohol to dissolve any clogged dirt. The reversing camera is also known as a parking assist system, reverse visual system, or vehicle monitoring system, widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance.
I remember when I first bought my new car, there was a time when the reverse camera suddenly lost sound, which really freaked me out. At first, I thought the camera was broken, but the main reason might actually be that the volume settings were accidentally turned off, or the speaker wires in the car came loose. I checked, and this thing is related to the audio system—there's a reverse prompt volume option in the system settings. If it's set to mute, there's no sound. Another common issue is poor contact in the wiring; the connector for the reverse module in the trunk can loosen, and exposure to wind and sun can cause it to age. That time, I had a friend take a look, and it turned out a button was stuck. The solution is simple: first, check the volume settings on the central display and try adjusting it up a few notches. If that doesn’t work, don’t mess with the wiring yourself—it can be dangerous. It’s better to drive straight to a 4S shop and have a technician diagnose it; it won’t cost much. Losing sound while reversing is quite risky, especially at night when visibility is poor, making it easy to bump or scrape someone else’s car. I’d like to remind all new drivers to pay attention to regular maintenance of these auxiliary systems.
