Camera
Trouble Shooting - step by step:
Does the screen recognize the car is in reverse?
No - Change in reverse
Test
the voltage on the trigger wire going into the unit. It should be at least 10V.
In some cars, depending on the model, the power
trigger
is not found in the camera retain cable but rather a different one.
With a multimeter you will need to test the other wires in
one of
the other plugs.
Once
you have located the trigger wire please send a photo so it can be added to the
images below !!
Yes but the screen only goes black
a) check to ensure the Yellow male RCA from the
camera / power cable is connected to the female Yellow RCA of the stereo
Make sure the camera is getting power - if it has a Purple or Red wire these
will need power from the trigger wire as above
B) Does the
car have CANBUS controlling the camera?
- No
a) Test the camera is being powered.
b) Test continuity of the RCA cable.
- Yes
c) Would be rare but possible wrong
adapter supplied - contact with images
Yes but the image is poor or black from new camera or
displays 16 small images.
Most stereos are capable of displaying NSTC,
AHD, Standard Analogue, PAL etc.
Depending on the firmware of your stereo you
will need to adjust the camera inputs
There are 2 videos showing how to change the selection

If your car is Diesel powered then take the
earth off the camera.
Yes but the image is poor or black from factory camera
The stereos can only display the output
coming from the camera but in some instances the image is poor.
This is evident mainly evident where the factory screen is low resolution. It
is akin to installing a high
performance engine and expecting it work with E10 fuel.
The other issue with poor resolution can come with
Diesel powered engines. Diesel cars put out more
electronic noise around the vehicle and especially the dashboard and this can
effect the electronics of the
new screen. This may effect not only the camera but also Bluetooth as well

Re-powering the existing factory camera
To repower the factory camera you
will use the supplied adapter
The black wire is to be earthed.
The other wire (green) is the power source for the camera.
The green wire pictured below is the power source which is only on when the car
is in reverse
This Green wire pictured is to be connected to the Green on the adapter and
either of the Blue wires marked Back
or
This is to be connected to the power wire for the camera as well as to either or
the Blue wires labeled BACK on the supplied wiring looms
And then of course you
will need to program the buttons onto the stereo unit via the steering setup.

The Reversing Camera:
You will be have
provided with a camera retention cable similar to https://aerpro.com/apviz01?src=api
One of these wires will be live when the car is in reverse. This wire is to be
connected to either one of the 2 Blue wires marked Back. This will trigger the
unit so the screen knows when the car is in reverse. If you do not have a
multimeter simply put the car in reverse and try any of the 3 wires till the
unit switches to reverse. Can you please advise which wire you used.
The Yellow male RCA is connected to the Yellow female RCA for the camera on the
wiring loom with the bunch of RCA cables.

If you car has a single camera you
will need to join the wires as described on the image
