2014 Mazda 3

[travajante]

Anyone here encounter this same issue, Mazda 3 comes with OE reverse camera. Sometimes reverse camera wont work, only reverse sensors are working. (See image). Before BCM replacement (global recall) minsan lang sya nangyayari, like once a month lang. After BCM replacement, halos twice a week na sya nangyayari. Reported already to casa, everytime casa will check, gumagana si camera, so no issues found. Already tried the hard reset on the HU, does not help.

Ask the casa to refit the connectors. Also if they have contact cleaners if not.. you bring your own...and they do the warranty job.

Have them go thru the swap process... recheck all the connectors.
I have never encountered the problem....mine is cam-less.[emoji4]

My 5-year-old generic cam with custom circuitry is still alive. Sometimes it flickers but I've only seen it not work twice. Make sure the HU is fully booted up before reversing. Could also be a loose connection if it's intermittent. Get your phone ready to take a vid if it happens again so you'll have additional evidence for the casa.

There are FW upgrade topics in US forums for Mazda 3s, 6s, CXs, and Miatas. Most of the topics contain detailed instructions and download links from what sounds like a salty old man who knows someone with access to the OEM files. I'm sure our deep penetration agents on this forum know what I'm talking about ;)

Yep that's the one. You can save yourself the hassle (like I did) and have the guys on Scout Fuentebella install it for you. Parts run out fast though and they have to order it from the US when they run out.

I plan to use the "hack" version. It is said that it is more flexible. Anyways, Waze and Google maps will lose its signal if I'm besides a lot of buildings when I'm under the elevated roads. In that area, I always lose my turn and so I get lost.
