Thanks for reminding me I had another one I could use to test.

Unfortunately it didn't fare any better

This is bugging the heck out of me now!

Not sounding too good. Sure the camera feed has a good connection? Which wire did you tap into for the reverse signal?

Had a third camera and tried it too. No dice.

Tapped right into the drivers side reverse light for the signal (IIRC it was green). And the signal is definitely working because it switches to camera view when I put it in reverse and overlays the grid. Just not getting image out of the camera.

The camera itself is powered from the same switched B+ as the HU

Grounded to the chassis in an existing spot.

Other than that it's just plugging in the yellow rca into the camera input on back of the HU. Basically foolproof - and I'm more than comfortable with audio system wiring etc. This should be child's play!

Got the pc screen to mirror on it too, for what that's worth

Sounds like everything is in proper order. That is a bummer.

ChaseZ · 08-04-2016, 02:25 AM

That it is.

Even tried running power right to the battery instead of switched on the off chance that's what the camera liked.

I think it's ME the camera doesn't like lol

Oh well at least the video (sans bypass) and Bluetooth are both working. Got that Stranger Things or whatever it's called going on it right now. Maybe it's time to grab some popcorn and recline my drivers chair a bit

Good morning!

This will be the 4th day this week I'll drive the Z to work. Why did I just buy a new DD? I probably won't start it for another month.

Got a txt over night from my cousin. My uncle was in a head on collision with an old lady doing 85 on the highway. She had dementia and was driving down the wrong side of the highway. She died during the crash. My uncle has a single cut on his arm and is just sore thank god. Massive F-350 since he works in construction. The poor truck looks basically disentrigrated from the front bumper to windshield. The ladies little sedan had parts flown over half a mile outwards.
