The start up messages take way too long to clear, during which time they obscure the top section of the backup camera? I first get "phone connection successful..." followed by "transfer complete". Between the two messages, the top 15-20% of the backup camera screen is obscured. And it's really that top sliver of the screen that allows you to see more than 4 feet behind the car. I suppose I should just be more patient, but 10 seconds (I've timed it) is an eternity to wait after starting the car before you can start backing out.
So I just back out as if I don't have a camera using my mirrors and looking over my shoulder (which I did for my previous 30 years of driving before getting my GS so I guess it's not THAT big of a deal). I just find it really annoying to put a backup camera in the car and then obscure it with messages. It's interesting that Lexus feels it's important to tell me that my phone has been connected for a full 10 seconds. It would be more interesting to know if I was about to back up into something.
Just bought a new Tiguan 2013 for my wife, which has the rear view camera. However upon reversing, there's no beeping to warn you that you're about to hit something.. Shouldn't that be the case?
My only experience of rear view camera's are on rentals and they've always beeped when something is in view.
How to disable those really useful messages like "phone connection successful" when using the backup camera?
Being sarcastic but I think those messages are actually a safety hazard when using the back up camera since they just pop a take up a lot of screen real estate that I would rather see used to see if I'm about to hit some car or pedestrian.
2013 F350 Lariat with the factory OEM rear view camera. I am replacing the tailgate with a 5th wheel tailgate for a few months and would like to still retain the convince of a rear view camera.
I have obtained a Ford camera harness to use as a jumper for a non OEM camera which comes with the standard basic RCA wiring which I plan to mount to the bottom of the 5th wheel tailgate.
My hope is to wire the camera direct to the Ford wire harness which is a 6 wire pigtail. Which wires on the camera mate to which wire on the trucks wire harness.
Is there a way to take the rear view camera input and add a DVD player and " trick" the screen to think it's in reverse so I can play a DVD on a no ml system .? But I can up on a great black on black 08 with low miles and decided to get it and try to figure out a way to do this later.
View 2 RepliesI see many cars have the parking lines move when you have your steering wheel turn, i thought it might be a feature we have to turn. I cannot find anything in the manual or through search...
View 14 RepliesIn my 6 day old Golf TSI, I'm noticing the rearview camera is quite noisy when it deploys and retracts. I don't recall how it sounded during test drives, but I'm surprised I can hear it at all, let alone as loudly as it seems.
Likely normal, but thought I'd post this up to see what others are experiencing. Might drop by the dealership and check another one out for comparison.
Picked up a mk6 tdi a couple weeks ago (my first vw), and yesterday my rear view camera started acting up. And by acting up I mean, the screen only displays black, and the camera is stuck open, protruding under the badge and will not close. I've checked to make sure everything is still plugged in, and it is. I'm not exactly sure what to try next?
View 3 RepliesI noticed the other day that when i shift to R... the left and right rear view mirror pan out about 5 degrees in their respective direction. Normally when you shift to reverse the mirrors should tilt down. I have looked through all the settings and cannot find any customization options. How you can adjust the rear view mirrors to tilt down? I do not understand why they would pan out as it does nothing to assist you as you reverse.
View 7 RepliesI own a 2015 passat, yesterday in ny it rain the whole day. I went to reverse and the screen told me "the rear view camera not available" the first time it has happen to me, now it's working fine.
View 6 RepliesFor a project I started, I need to remove the plastic cover from the inside of the hatch. I think many people did that to install a rear view camera. Looking for pictures, simple instructions set, or a reference to a repair manual that would clearly explain how to do that.
View 7 RepliesThe tail light that is spliced into for the RVC flickers when the car is in reverse. I am thinking it is due to a voltage drop because of the camera pulling power.
View 8 RepliesHow to remove the LED light from next to rear view camera? I know how to change the left side one but the one with the rear view camera looks hard to replace.
View 4 RepliesI have just started having an issue with my rear view camera. It has started to not come on until about 10 seconds after I have placed the car in reverse and once it does turn on, the video quality is bad. I know there are issues with the RNS510 and warm up time, but I am not using the RNS510. Here is what I have:
OEM RVC on trunk handle
Wire harness from Bold Sport
RNS315
I installed it myself many months ago and checked the wiring and all seems fine. However, I did notice that if I unplug the 4 pin harness near the camera (video feed, not the ground, power and reverse trigger) and then plug it back in, the camera then works instantly when I put the car in reverse and the video image quality returns. However, then it only works for about 3 or 4 times (individual times when I put the vehicle in reverse) and then I am back to a 10 second wait and bad video quality.
I just got back from being gone awhile to find that my rear view camera has stopped working. I get a message that says "rear view camera system is currently unavailable" when I put the car in reverse.
The camera does come out like it should so I'm guessing it's something to do with wiring maybe a short or something. I have a 2014 RCD-510 with the camera input...
Seeing that there is no tech area for the plug-in area of the forum, I must ask this somewhat general question here. Having just taken delivery of a pip I am wondering if there is any way to turn on the rear view camera when you are moving forward? It would actually provide better vision over the rear view mirror.
View 12 RepliesI noticed when I got my CPO 2013 GS350 that the rear view mirror has some "give" - it feels a little loosely attached to the windshield and there is some play before the adjustment actually starts to engage. It also rattles sometimes with road vibration as a result. Is this the usual for GS350 or has mine come loose?
I noticed when I got an ES loaner vehicle that the mirror was firmly attached to the windshield.
Whenever the wife drives my car she adjusts the rear rear view window which means I have to adjust it when I get it back. Each time the mirror is adjusted the rear view camera in the mirror gets the blue screen of death. A little later the rear view mirror will start working again.
2011 Avalon with 120K miles
Is there any way i can use vag-com to make the rear view camera stay on longer and during high speed reverse, and make it come on by pushing a button?
View 9 RepliesSo my 2012 rearview camera was super clear and this 2013 is super blurry! Only difference is that this one has has MyFordTouch with no nav. The 12 had the nav option. Camera lens its self looks clean.
Oh yeah and the thing automatically autoplays my voicemails as soon as I start the truck and I hate that it does that. Can't figure out how to get that from happening.
