Prius (Gen 2) :: Back Up Camera Literally Came On
Apr 27, 2012
Something strange happened the other evening while driving. I'll just lay down the facts: I picked up my kid from class. When we got in the Prius there was a song I turned it down kind of fast.
It had rained earlier and there was a puddle at the curb. I slowly went through it and into traffic and accelerated. The music stopped and I looked at the display. The back up camera was on and I was looking at the road moving behind me. It flashed a few times then went black.
I pulled over and turned off the car. Turned it back on and all has been OK since. Just weird that it would do that all by itself.
I didn't "blast" through the water.

I have a 2006 Prius with a Back Up camera, but I am not sure if it is just a back up camera or if sensors are suppose to make noise if i get close to another car. Is there suppose to be a sensor in the bumper or was it not included?

In my 2009 standard prius, the back up camera often, maybe 50% of the time, is just black. It has some scrolling look, and sometimes i can see a faint image of whats there. The warning text on the screen is still there, and I am positive the is plenty of light, and nothing blocking the camera.
Its almost as if the TV rabbit ears need some adjustment. Flickery images, images literally scrolling left to right, etc. Other times, its perfect. Where do i start? loose wires somewhere?

Just purchased 2010 lll w/ Nav and backup cam. Although the cam works fine it doesn't show a grid. I drove a 2008 w/ cam and that did show a grid. The salesman stated some camera's did show it and others don't.

I was driving yesterday in a hurry to get to a wedding… I suddenly found myself going up an incline of perhaps 20 degrees at 80mph impossible…the car would stop accelerating like a belt was slipping, the sensation was that the car would try to go but couldn't and would catch and pick up a bit then slip… I had to take it down to 55 and even then had some slippage. I had told my dealer about this concern in the past and told everything was fine. Last time I was at the dealer they said i needed a serpentine belt replaced… Could this be causing the issue? It's likely the transmission/cvt/psd... I honestly thought my car was going to die, but managed to make it back with almost no issue on the way home going 80 without inclines. is this even an issue or am i just pushing my car too hard??
2008 prius/55k miles.

I had terrible issues driving in the snow /ice last month. The car literally would not move forward. I bought 4 new Michelin Tires (Weatherwise II) but am thinking I should put on Snow Tires. Can I put them on the front only since the car is FWD? Also, which tire to choose?

Okay so I've got the RVC hooked up to my 2014 RCD-510 with the input for the RVC, only when I put the car in reverse, a message appears on the screen and the emblem camera doesn't open. I've tried coding in vagcom but I can't use the navigation settings since it's not a RNS-510 so there is no nav option. I checked the rear view camera under 56 Radio but that still didn't seem to work. What I can try to get it working?

I just installed a back up camera - great picture clear day and night but the problem I am having is the guidelines on the camera don't line up with the side of the car, the driver side seems fine but the passenger is around a foot short, I have mounted the pavement twice so far.

So when I got my car a couple months ago there was this problem where the backup camera wouldn't come on every now and then when I shifted into reverse so I decided to get it fixed under warranty. the dealership said the problem had to do with the whole infotainment system or something so they gave me a whole new center console and navigation screen for some reason but after I got my car back a couple days ago it was working fine up until today where the back up camera won't even come on at all anymore. I've driven the car about 5 different times today and the backup camera never came on once.

I'm looking to install a back up camera. When hooking up my boat trailer or backing into a space in a parking lot. Would a factory piece be available? (rearview mirror)....

I got the ivic system installed in my car today and I am pleased thus far with the little bit that I have played with it. The only problem that I have is my back up camera is not cutting on. Why?

The backup camera under the vw logo staying open. Mine takes at least 10 seconds to close, and if I don't wait and turn off the car, it will remain open which prevent you from opening the hatch. It's become extremely annoying, especially Christmas shopping in the rain!!

My backup camera stopped turning on when I put the car in reverse. Why? I'm thinking it might be a fuse issue, but I can seem to figure out which fuse from the information in the manual.

Having issues with the back-up camera? It only works about half the time. It either stays on the radio or gives me a black screen. I called the dealer and was told they have not gotten any other complaints

I have a 2011 F-150 Super Crew and have had to replace the back up camera due to a malfunction. Once the dealer replaced it under warranty I was no longer able to get all the options that the previous camera had. Since then the 2nd camera went bad and I just had it replaced again. This new camera still is missing 2 of the options the original camera had. The dealer now tells me that they must have been deleted off the software on the replacement cameras. They were unable to verify that through Ford though.

I have a 2011 regular cab XL, and I just installed a Kenwood DDX770 that has a backup camera connection. I am installing an aftermarket camera. I would like to use the wire from the stereo and connect it to the steering column wire for reverse, but can't seem to locate it. I read other places that it is a black wire with a pink stripe, but I can't find that color under the dash.

Two random times I put the car in reverse and the back up camera showed a blank black screen. I have to turn the car off and restart It for it to work.

Installed one of the wireless bu cams from Pep boys earlier this year. Anyhow it hooks to the bu lights and has a pwr source from the fuse box. Works ok, but every now and again it will flicker while I am driving down the road, is also slow to illuminate when reverse is engaged. What the issue may be? Its a VRBCS300W.
