VAD mobile scan sporadic connection. The camera would go in and out sometimes while backing like a loose connection. Now it does not operate at all. Is there a harness that travels through a hinged location? I'm going to rescan as soon as my Palm is charged.
View 3 RepliesI just had a Safesight micro flush mount camera installed in my Prius 2010 (purchased from Mobile Electronics). I had it installed with a manual switch so that it is either on or off according to my whim. Unfortunately, at this point, the camera seems to add to - rather than subtract from - backing up risks due to spatial distortion and pinpoint representations of objects directly in back of my car.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 3 RepliesHow 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.

View 5 RepliesI changed the battery in my key fob recently. Since then the car has randomly given me "key not detected" signals. At these times, the door lock/unlock buttons don't work either.
When it does, I open it and push the battery around, trying to make it connect, close the fob back up, and it works for some apparently random amount of time. So my best guess it that there's a loose connection to the battery.
If so, have you found a cure, such as the right place to wedge in something small to make the connection secure? Anything else?
My husband was kindly pulling the Ex into the garage for me. I drove it around town today. He came in and He said he pulled it in and turned it off. Then went back to turn it on to pull it in a little farther. When he tried to restart it there was a big "CLICK" and it went all dead. He said the theft light briefly flashed after everything else went dead. Also, aux power such as cig lighters still work. Could it be a fuse?

3 Faults Found:
17801 - Ignition Coil Power Output 1
P1393 - 35-00 - Electrical Malfunction
17802 - Ignition Coil Power Output 2
P1394 - 35-00 - Electrical Malfunction
17803 - Ignition Coil Power Output 3
P1395 - 35-10 - Electrical Malfunction - Intermittent
Right now my guess is the coil pack is going out or loose connection to the coil, this coil is roughly 8 months old so it kinda has me at a loss and hoping its not the coil.
I have a 2012 Touareg TDI Lux which I absolutely love for so many reasons. Since almost day one my brakes squeek when I back up only. I now have 6200 miles on my vehicle and it drives me nuts. It can be wet, dry, backing up fast or slow and it shrieks.
Just dropped by my local dealer and was told it is something to do with the pads seating which is BS after 6200 miles.
I've got oem navi in my touareg 4.2 and am wondering if it is possible to retrofit a back up camera to the oem screen ?
View 2 RepliesI have been having two issues.
1.) Everytime I go to back up in my car the whole car starts shaking back in forth like someone is at the front and back rocking it.
2.) After my car has been driven around for a bit and I return to campus to look for parking spaces sometimes I have to back up because there aren't any. Whenever I go to back up, it makes this loud sound like a bat hitting a metal pole and it can be felt throughout the car. It does it all the time now.
I am beginnning to get scared to take this thing offroading. Also whenever I shift from P to R it makes this loud THUNK sound. I am going to let the dealer look at it when I take it in for the 10K service.
Just got my treg back from service. This is it's 10,000mi checkup. One of the issues I asked the dealer to investigate was a backup camera failure. One out of every 100 or so reverses, the camera just doesn't activate. No errors. Just no picture.They tried reverse more than 20 times but were unable to repro.
View 2 RepliesIs 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 3 RepliesMy wife just noticed a weird sound when coming home from work this morning. When backing up, you can hear what sounds like a clicking sound coming the car. The noise doesn't happen if the car is stopped and in reverse. It starts when you start to move and the faster you go, the louder and faster the clicking is. After this, I now found out my sister's boyfriend backed into the car last night pushing it down the driveway while it was in park. From my understanding, the car moved about 6 or maybe a little more inches. There is no damage to the bumper except the part that came unclipped which I just pushed back together with my hand and it's fine. The license plate is a bit bent though. It's an 09 auto and the park break was not engaged during last night's incident. What it could be? It sounds like it's coming from the front somewhere but I can't pinpoint where. I looked at the front under the hood close to the bumper but see no physical damage. I'm thinking CV or axle.
View 11 Replies I've been driving Lexus since 1995. My new GS is a 2008 model (with a President pack according to local French definition). I use windows phones (Lumia series) and I can easily connect these phones for conversations while driving over BT. But when I try to transfer my contact data to the car, the BT connection fails and when I stop this transfer, the BT connection comes alive again.
I only have/use windows phone (windows 10 and windows 8.1). any hint where I could look to to solve this problem ?
another question related to this : can I stream audio from my phone to the Mark Levinson system via BT ? apparently it does not work with my windows phones .
I have an 06 Ford Expedition 2WD with 97,000 miles. Whenever I am backing up with the wheels turned hard to the right (such as backing out of a parking space) there is a loud pop on the driver's side after about 1/2 to 1 full wheel revolution (I am guessing about that part but that seems about right - the point is it's not real far). When I drive forward with the wheel turned the same way there is a similar sound, though less distinct. I have not heard it with the wheels turned left, and the sound only happens when the wheels are turning and it is one distinct pop (no grinding or clicking or anything, just one pop) on the drivers side. I have read guesses that cover pretty much every component on the front end.
View 9 RepliesMy car is just about at 60k, and I'm really starting to notice that its not the same. Power is not all there, steering is really loose, suspension has definitely begun to sag, it has rattles, the transmission slips and stutters...maybe it is all a sign.

View 2 RepliesMy backup camera is only working about 20% of the time with no pattern to it. When I shift into reverse I get a bright white screen with colorful vertical lines in it. Everything else about my display works fine. Is there a way to reset something on this? Every now and then it works but most of the time I get the white screen with vertical colored lines. It's a 2006 package #8 with 63k.
