Asked by Rachel
My diesel 2013 Hyundai i30 has been so reliable and has given me no problems over 205,000km. It is so economical to run and a pleasure to drive. But now suddenly the GPS has stopped working along with the Bluetooth phone. It is too expensive to replace, so I'll do without. The radio still works and the reverse screen.
My question is that I am concerned the electrical fault may impact the reverse screen in future, and maybe the cruise-control. There isn't any problem with them at the moment, but I am not sure how everything works. I'd hate to suddenly lose the reverse camera.

22 Mar 2024Glad to hear you've had such a great run with your car. I understand what a great safety device a reverse camera is, and if it was standard fitment in your car when it was new, it could very well be a roadworthy item if it's not working. However, I wouldn't be too worried as the GPS and bluetooth functions should not be related to the reverse camera or the cruise-control.
If the reverse camera screen ever went on the blink, you could fairly cheaply add a replacement aftermarket unit which would also restore your Bluetooth and possibly even your GPS functions.
