Display Rear Camera a few secs longer than normal


Recommended Posts

Hey

 

My setup is a F840BT with a pioneer rear camera.

 

When i drive backwards , ofc the camera goes on , when i move from back to forward the camera goes off.

 

So all is normal. 

 

Now , is there a way,  the moment o go from backward to forward, that the camera can stay on for another 5 secs or so ?

 

Thanks very much in advance...

I had the same issue..... While there must be other ways of accomplishing this in the end I went this route:


 

www.ebay.com/itm/320842385347   Order warning: Takes 30days for delivery.



I tried using some capacitors but they didn't keep the camera
"live" long enough. I still haven't installed this timer yet but it
should work just fine.



The timer is activated from the backup light circuit using a separate
"hot" to supply the camera relay (part of the timer) and keep the
timer working during the time needed. Camera turns on immediately and stays on
for the time selected.



I plan on using the "hot", when the ignition is on, that supplies
the rear cigar outlet but have been to lazy to pull a wire from there to the
lift gate area.

 

On a side note I odered a second one to keep the stereo on when going from:

Parked with ign off to starting the engine. I just hate it when the AVIC 940BT

has to recycle for a momentary power loss.... This 10amp relay/timer can handle

that just fine.

Now that is very interesting!

 

Do you know what wiring would need to be done to the head unit for this to work? I.e. which cables to spice and integrate this into on the head unit?
