syclnjr Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I know this is old but I am thinking that if you have the unit set up to work with reverse signal only it is not going to show up when you select rear view. I think that there is a way to set it up for rear view on all the time and it will work that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ie half nav half rear view? Hit the Map button to change the view to see if that works. GC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GOLDCYLON Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Also just a thought is your unit bypassed. I wonder if this is greyed out because your in motion beyond the normal reverse function? Just a thought as my unit works but its also bypassed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulygs69 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 The problem is that the installer or whomever hooked up your back-up camera used the reverse power that switches the nav to view the back-up camera, for the power source of the camera. When you put the vehicle in reverse, the camera has power. When you change map view to rear view the camera has no power because your not in reverse. hook the camera power up to acc 12v. I've had to rewire a few that were hooked up that way. You might think that it is not good for the camera to have power whenever the key is on, but I've had no come backs for camera failures for that reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
