reverse camera input issue

[sti robot]

So, I'm using the reverse camera input as an input for a device that outputs engine parameters to an RCA connection. I am doing this so I can see the parameters while still listening to my music, radio, etc.

 

While I am testing this I don't have anything hooked up to the reverse signal wire, I have just enabled it in the menu and selected it.

 

What I get is a screen that only refreshes every 20 seconds or so. I know that the device outputs a proper signal and I know that it gets interrupted and stops sending a signal every once in a while (i tested it on an external monitor that shows "signal lost" every once in a while). Is it possible that this is causing the problem.

 

Things I haven't tested that I need to check:

-Swap the RCA cable for another one (I know that the input to the headunit works, as I tested it with something else).

-Test the device with one of the legitimate inputs to the headunit.

 

Any ideas??

if you having any problem getting it to work on a different monitor, then there probably is a problem with the sending unit or the cable causing a weak signal.
