What's wrong?
The MOST connector in 2018-2023 Honda Passport, Odyssey, and Pilot vehicles is part of the communication line that links audio, display, and camera signals to the center screen. MOST stands for Media Oriented Systems Transport, a network that carries information between electronics in the vehicle. For the rearview camera, that connection helps move the camera image to the display when reverse is selected.
On affected vehicles, the coaxial cable terminals inside the connector were improperly designed and manufactured. The connection can loosen or lose signal quality, so the audio and display unit does not receive a clean camera feed. When that happens, the rearview camera image can fail to appear on the screen, which means the driver loses the required rear visibility display while backing up.
Before the camera display fails, owners can hear popping or crackling from the audio system. The display audio screen can also flicker. Those symptoms point to the same communication connection problem.
