F500BT reverse wire?

[pjkwong]

Acura RDX is the truck.

Does that wire need to send voltage? It's hooked to send voltage now

It's blowing the fuse in my car when the unit is hooked up.

But if i disconnect the unit and put the car in reverse the fuse doesn't get blown.

The installer said it's the unit that's bad anything else i can check before contacting Pioneer for RMA.

They told me to contact another installer to check reverse wire.

right now i have a quick disconnect for the reverse wire (not connected up for now)

AV source camera view works fine so not really sure

some where in settings there is a option for the reverse wire

to switch between positive and negative try changeing that first and see what happens

[pjkwong]

so you mean use the gnd option instead of battery?

[ewickj]

i dont have a back up cam but that would be the first thing i would try if i was haveing the same prob

if it dont work then i would check the wiring

if that still dont work then wait till someone on here when a back up cam comes on with an answer

[pjkwong]

anybody here know before i blow another fuse if i should use the gnd option for the reverse camera?

I hope its not to late. i just 2 cameras on two Civics. These camera use 3 wires. Positive , negative and a trigger. I connected the hot wire to const battery power, Negative to ground, Trigger to revers light positve lead. Behind the radio you have a trigger wire for the camera. Run that wire to the same revers light positve switch. Go to the radiow menue to back up camera turn it on and select battery. reboot and your done. every time you go into reverse the camera will go on and your radio will switch to revers camera. I did the negative ground but it gave me a lot of problems. I hope this helps.
