I asked this a few times in the past, but never got resolution.

Our 2007 PC's back-up camera includes sound.  When my wife stands behind our PC while I am backing-up, she provided verbal instruction as well as hand gestures.

Some years ago the sound suddenly stopped working.  I determined the unit up front works fine.  The problem seems to be in the back where the microphone is.  I studied the camera in-back but never found the microphone.  I looked for a tiny pin-hole hoping for a simple solution, thinking that dirt or bugs plugged the hole for the mic.  I can't find where the sound pick-up is in back to inspect it.

Our system is a 2007 "Zone Defense".  I looked in our manuals, on-line, and asked the factory about the mic but never got anywhere.

Does anyone here know much about this brand and model year back-up camera and have solved a problem with the sound?  I always appreciated the sound feature and would like to get it working again.

If the monitor and camera are connected  together using RCA jacks (component or composite A/V)  you could just disconnect the audio cable from the camera housing and use a female-female barrel splice,  or plug the new mic  directly into the monitor . This ASV-M25V has its own battery, preamp, and 25  ft RCA cable.
