Strange issue with reverse camera on D3

[ochatesme]

I recently bought an Audiovox license plate cam from best buy and installed it with my D3. For the first two days I had absolutely no issues, the camera was working properly and was not giving me any issues at all. Last night the camera stopped working properly, instead of displaying what was behind me, I would get thick green lines that would scroll across the screen. I don't know if it's the camera itself that may be bad but I have another Diesel Audio cam laying around that I'm going to install tomorrow and see if I get the same issues as I did with the Audiovox. The problem is intermittent and doesn't occur all the time, it's leading me to think that the CMOS sensor on the camera may be going out. Has anyone else had this type of issue with their reverse cams?

check the connection plug on the camera. i have heard that the audiovox reverse cameras have a problem with the plug....many people have just cut that plug off and soldered the connections together and the problems were gone. either that or just exchange the camera.

I actually thought about doing this a while back, I took the liberty of troubleshooting a couple days ago when I fired up my truck and the camera failed to turn on. My first instinct was to go to the connector and unplug it/plug it back in, sure enough the camera fired up soon after. I'm gonna go ahead and hack off the harness on both ends and solder the wires together, I'll update here on how it goes, thanks dude.
