thedak1 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I have the pioneer backup cam ND BC1 and it works in reverse like it's supposed to. However when I put the split screen with map/cam it's just a black screen. I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. The cam is on and I have tried both polarities in the hopes that it would come on. I searched this forum for an answer and came up with nada. I have heard from several people that the cam should work in this mode and regular reverse. I'm not sure if the cam does not support this feature (since it is the oldest of the cams) I have tried wiring it to the ACC and it works then but I would need to add a switch or something for it to come on in reverse. At present it's wired to the cam wire and in turn wired to my tail lights. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rgarjr Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 If the cam picture is working fine when u put it reverse, but not working when in split view mode.. The it means u have the camera wired to be turned on only when u have the car in reverse. U don't need any switch. The Avic has the reverse gear wire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yea have it wired correctly and it will work as desired. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedak1 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 So by on you guys mean in the menu (on/off)? If that is the case then I will try that and see what it does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 No! Once again. Yea have it wired correctly and it will work as desired. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedak1 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I understand that but I don't see how it could be wired wrong when works for the most part. Which wire coming out of the harness should I use. I used the purple/white wire from the back of the harness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Where did you connect the purple wire to? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedak1 Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 it's powering the cam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rgarjr Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I'm assuming u have the violet/white wire tapped onto your reverse lamps. Disconnect your cam from that and connect it to a 12V switched source. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 it's powering the cam Then its wired wrong. Follow the instructions and wire it the right way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dvldog458 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hey guys...I know this is an old topic, but I'm having the same problem. I had it installed at my local shop in NJ and I'm not good at wiring things. I just need the right terminology to relay to the install shop. Any advise would help me when I speak to the installer so I don't sound like a jackass. It's a z-130. Thanks in advance. J.D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dvldog458 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Got it fixed. Just ran the camera to a switched source and now I have split screen view. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
