1loudls Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 any camera with a standard RCA video connection will work fine, you just have to make sure to get the right video signal for where you live NTSC = USA PAL = Europe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EclipseAVH Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Thank you for communicating ! on the avh-p4200 there is a brown connector for the rear view camera. and I see a few that only comes in yellow and red wires. I am currently using the video input for my phone which has video out. So I can't use that. Any idea? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Any camera advertised as a back up cam will work. And are you saying you'er using the back up cam input for your phone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 the brown RCA connector is for the video camera input, however most cameras outputs will be a yellow connector (pioneer only uses brown to differentiate between that and normal video inputs ) if the camera has yellow AND red or white the the camera also has a mic for sound that pioneer doesn't support (the camera will still work, you just dont plug the mic connector into anything) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
supermanx Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I installed a generic backup cam and it works great off the reverse signal. the only problem is on my 4200 I don't have the rear view button to view the cam when not in reverse. I see it shown in the manual and in demo mode but can't get it to appear for my, any suggestions? I am using the R/C (brown) connection Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 What wire is the cam receiving power from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
supermanx Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 What wire is the cam receiving power from? A seperate auxillary power feed. I didnt see anywhere that stated the power needed to come from the deck? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 As long as it is switched 12+ it's the right connection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
supermanx Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 As long as it is switched 12+ it's the right connection. Yes it is, and the camera does work properly when the vehicle is reverse... I just don't get the option to view the camera at any other time. I do not get the rear off/on button and when I select the camera icon I only get Video/Ipod/SD for options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
