Could an electrical fault with my GPS and bluetooth affect the reversing camera?
By David Morley · 22 Mar 2024

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.
