What owners say
Back up camera stopped working, no blown fuses and the system updates I can do on the car from the touch screen say everything is up to date. My car has no open/not repaired recall for this.
Backup camera failed and displaying rainbow colors. Persistent issue. Creates a safety hazard due to backup camera being inoperable.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Insight. The contact stated that the after starting the vehicle and shifting to reverse(R), the backup camera failed to display an image, creating a visibility hazard for the driver. Additionally, while the vehicle was parked several electrical features could not be accessed, with a message stating that the features could not be accessed because the vehicle was in motion. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was contacted and a service appointment was schedule. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000.
Rear view camera Camera suddenly changed colors and is blurry. Cleaned multiple times and it is still always like this now. Shows neon bright colors instead of reality. Needs software update possibly?? There was a recall for this before and it was fixed by previous owner. But there may need to be a new update drivers are not aware about?
Apple carplay will occasionally crash during vehicle use, causing the center infotainment console to completely reset. In this period, backup camera and side view camera are inaccessible for 30-60 seconds. This often happens mid operation of vehicle.
Apple carplay will occasionally crash during vehicle use, causing the center infotainment console to completely reset. In this period, backup camera and side view camera are inaccessible for 30-60 seconds. This often happens mid operation of vehicle. Fault not of apple, but of honda's poor implementation of carplay.
While driving the display sometimes shuts off and resets. This prevents the ability to use the backup camera. This happens on both highway and city streets.
