Hello guys this is my first post here
I have a 2011 tdi jetta. got this a few months ago. When i put the car into reverse the screen goes blank and keeps flickering. is there a parking assist or sensor in the car?

... None :S
A backup camera was optional in some markets. Does your car have one? It would be visible near the license plate.

It's possible someone replaced the radio or changed the soft coding to tell the car there's a backup camera, when none is present.

i think the latter is true as there is no camera in the car. And i also don’t see any sensors on the rear bumper

The reverse camera would be part of the trunk handle.
If there is no camera, then someone changed the long coding to tell the HU there is one, although that typically produces a blank screen, not a flickering one
