Backup camera

[tekki]

So after 5 months my backup camera isn't working properly, it doesn't come on if I put the truck in reverse. It used to work properly.amd come on when I went into reverse

 

Settings battery

Rear camera on

Wired from tail light to the if I remember correctly the purple wire on head unit

Plugged into brown input on the radio"not the dongle wire"

 

It will come on if I turn on camera view, but it won't automatically come on if I put the car into reverse anymore.

 

I've reset the radio and that hasn't worked

Im having the same issue that you had.

 

On the store wich i installed my NEX5000 and my camera, they said that my multimedia video INput and aux, are not working properly, are broken. 

The rest of multimedia functions are working normally, so im thinking that could have something wrong with this history... 

 

back to you case, i didn't understand the part that you say that:  

 

" Wired from tail light to the if I remember correctly the purple wire on head unit

Plugged into brown input on the radio"not the dongle wire"

 

Could you explain more for me please? 

[tekki]

You wire from the reverse light to the wire on the head unit, that way the head unit gets triggered to switch the display to your rear camera

 

Connection

Violet/white (REVERSE-GEAR SIGNAL INPUT)

This is connected so that this product can detect whether

the vehicle is moving forwards or backwards. Connect the

violet/white lead to the lead whose voltage changes when

the shift lever is put in reverse. Unless connected, the

sensor may not detect your vehicle traveling

forward/backward properly, and thus the position of your

vehicle detected by the sensor may be misaligned from the

actual position

Check the connection for the sensor wire. Since it previously worked, you must have installed it correctly. Maybe it came loose. Do you still have back-up lights when in reverse gear? If not, might be a fuse blown with resulting lack of reverse-signal to the sensor wire.
