jps Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I just bought a AVIC X930BT to replace my AVH-P3200BT and the rear cam dosen't work. When I plug my old P3200BT the rear cam is working but I get nothing in my new X930BT, I plug the rca cable of the rear cam in the rca rear cam input of the new unit and I also switch the polarity to battery. Did I miss something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barney stinson Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 you didn't mention if you connected the reverse wire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jps Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Yes the reverse wire is connected. The power plug is the same on both unit and it was working on my old unit so I guess it the connection is OK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barney stinson Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 the quickest way to check if the power is OK is to connect the video cable to the video input in the rear. if you see the camera image, then the reverse wire is the culprit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jps Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 When rear cam is plug in video in it did'nt work. I don't understand because when I reinstall my 3200Bt the rear cam is working. Both unit have the same power plug so I guess there is nothing wrong with the power harness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barney stinson Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 weird. can you try plugging in another video source to one of the video inputs? even a digital camera with a composite video out should work. also, plug in an audio source into one of the RCA audio inputs. if both those things do not work, you may possibly have some blown internal fuses that ground the RCA connections. that happened to my 3300BT after I installed a bi-xenon projector retrofit for my headlights. the initial power draw blew the fuses in my radio. I now ground the radio directly to chassis instead of the radio harness ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 so when the car is put into reverse, does the radio switch to the camera screen and it is just black (A) OR when you shift into reverse, the AVIC doesnt even try to switch to the camera source ( A = problem is with the camera, or the wiring B = reverse wire not done correctly as far a B goes, i have seen different pioneer models use the same harness with different wire pinouts (for example, the one unit may have the reverse wire in the main harness, and the new radio may had a dedicated wire coming off of the rear of the radio, and that pin is just empty in the harness) i would check the harness to the new radio, and make sure that the reverse wire (purple/white) is in the same position. also another test if the above is B, what happens if the car is in reverse, AND you manually select the camera source "rear view" from the menu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Junkhead Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 With the backup cameras on the 930 do you have to wait for the system to boot up completely before it will show the reverse image on the screen? I like to get in and go right away, not sit there for a minute. Would seem like its a waste kinda for that initial pulling out of somewhere after starting the vehicle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 as long as you put the car into reverse quickly, it will show the camera with in a few seconds, however if the avic gets too far into the boot cycle, it wont switch over till it gets almost done. BTW you do know that the worse thing you can do to your car is start it and drive right away right? you should be giving the motor time to get oil pumped all back in to the system, before you start making it do all sorts of work.

WwRGSwW Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I am having the same exact issue, I had a D3, and the reverse wire works fine, I bought a x930bt and I lost my backup cam. If I manually set it to backup cam it will work. I metered the reverse wire at the harness going into the x930bt and its getting 12v Meaning the aVIC is not auto switching.

1loudls Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 and you do have the polarity set right in the options correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 also check to make sure you have the same voltage on the radio side of the pico fuse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WwRGSwW Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 also check to make sure you have the same voltage on the radio side of the pico fuse Yup. Settings are correct (Tried both ways to be safe). and I metered at the black connector. Its getting the proper voltage. Still won't switch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 well then if the avic is getting the correct signal, it has to be a problem with the unit itself, maybe just a software glitch, i would try to see if there is an up date that you could try to see if it is a software issue.

WwRGSwW Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 well then if the avic is getting the correct signal, it has to be a problem with the unit itself, maybe just a software glitch, i would try to see if there is an up date that you could try to see if it is a software issue. So I called Pioneer about this one, and they sent me a Hi-Res image of the wiring harness that should be included with the X930Bt... the wrong harness got included in my box. What is the "remote" wire, is actually my backup wire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
