I'm guessing I'm late but with mine i discovered the rca 2 wires into plug for reverse video was not connecting properly as if not connect to Avic with proper contact.

This is exactly what it was!!! I also wanted to jump in the late party!!

Hopefully this message reaches you well after you have resolved your issue at minimal cost and effort to you!

Follow the pictures (out of order upload) and adjust your settings. One of the selections for Battery or Ground should work, otherwise there may be wiring issues.

Cheers!!!

In order to make the camera work, you need several connections:

1. Power for the camera: ignition power. should have voltage anytime the car is on.

2. Ground for the camera: any ground

3. RCA for the video.

 

With these 3 connections, you can change the map view anytime to view the camera.

 

4. Not part of the camera, but very important. the reverse wire from the vehicle that goes directly to the Z. This is how the Z determines that you are in reverse and switches the display automatically to "rear view".

Have you seen an issue where the camera sometimes works sometimes not when going into reverse?  Occasionally I get a solid black or weird multicolored screen when switching the car into reverse.  The screen is working as I can see all relevant information (see image).  If I go into the setting disable/enable the camera sometimes that corrects the issue, other times restarting the car fixes it. But totally hit or miss...
