I just installed a D3 today. Did the bypass. Everything seems to be working well except the backup camera. I installed a Boyo VTL300. Spliced power and ground into the same place I did for everything else. Tried moving power from battery to ACC. All I get is a black screen that says "objects may be reversed" or something like that. It does switch appropriately to the backup camera screen when I put the car in reverse. I plugged my camcorder into the "camera in" brown port on the D3 and did get video on the D3. Any thoughts? Bad camera? Thanks!
Backup camera not working
Got my question answered myself. Called the company and they told me I needed to splice the red power wire into the reverse sense line. That didnt sound right to me so I ignored them. There is a short lead attached to the camera itself. Then a long lead that is ran to the head unit. There is a TINY connector to join the two with TINY wires (24g?) going into the connnectors. I touched the power wire going into one of the connectors and it just fell out. It is a very flimsy connection. So, I cut the connectors off and spliced the wires directly together and all is good. If anyone else installs this product, I recommend doing the same.
What?
What?
The camera has a connector that's about the size of a penicl eraser. In it are 2 or 3 extremely small wires depending on what camera. He cut the plug off and spliced the wires together. Not my favorite thing to do, but whatever works I guess.
Thanks Batman!
