Navtool Frustrations
 
Hi Guys,

Having some serious issues with a Navtool installation.

Firstly, I'm from Sydney,Australia and im pretty sure the LCD screens we have in our cars are NTSC (Plugging in a iPAD via AUX I only get a good / colour picture using NTSC output setting).

Anyway a few weeks ago, I ordered Navtool, PAL Front Camera and PAL Rear Camera.

Completed the installation correctly, everything worked but the cameras would give me a colour picture that "rolls". The image wasn't static. I could roughly make out what things where but it seemed like it had problems synchronizing. (Typical NTSC / PAL incompatibilities I thought).

So I ordered a set of NTSC cameras thinking that was the problem, the first NTSC camera arrived today and after plugging that in it gives me a static synchronized picture but it is black and white and looks very very washed out, its impossible to make out what things are.

Any ideas where I've gone wrong? Any tips / pointers.

I've emailed NAVtool but haven't had a reply yet.

Regards

sounds as if you may have not gotten a good ground on the camera or nav tool itself. I would check all of your connection points first and then if that does not work you probably do not have enough power to run the nav tool properly. may have to run a dedicated power supply from the fuse box. :tup:

I would try grounding the camera directly somewhere in the trunk of the car. I did one of these a few days ago and I only used the + wire from the kit not the -

I took 12V from the ciggy lighter port inside the centre console.
Grounded it to the same place as well. (Just spliced the - / + )

I'd assume thats enough.

I grounded the camera directly to the - of the brake light (same - which the reversing sensor which was already installed uses).

there is a bolt that is used to ground a lot of cables on the left side of the car inside the hatch near the tail light. I would ground to that. that is what I have done.
