I'm hoping someone can shed some light on what might have happened here. I have an Avic-d3 with a Boyo backup camera. Did the install myself and everything was good. 2 months later I get the shop to install a lift on my Jeep and it comes back with the camera not working!!!! Ugh! I've checked all the connections behind the Avic unit and everything looks good, checked the connection back near the camera end and it looks good. I know the power to the radio was obviously shut down during lift install because I had to redo all my settings on the Avic.

Any ideas????

Thanks!

Check the wiring between the avic and the cam, alot of stuff is moved and replaced with a lift, maybe the wire was cut....

make sure in the settings menu you turn back on the camera, and check the polarity.

Thanks for the ideas. I'll check on that cut wire tomorrow. All the wiring for the camera is inside(except for the very end near the camera and I checked that) the Jeep so didn't think they'd be cutting any wires in there....but it's worth a look!

As far as the settings that were suggested, can you elaborate on that. Because when I installed the Avic and Boyo camera I didn't have to adjust any settings within the Avic. As soon as I plugged it up it just worked! Keep in mind that I'm using the AV1 input on the avic to run this camera.

Thanks guys!! Keep em coming

you should have used the brown rca in put, which is the reverse camera input behind the unit, and connect the purple / white from the harness to your reverse light wire in your vehicle. when u put in reverse it will automatically come on.

Gotcha. But didn't necessarily want it to come on every time I put in reverse. Had it hooked up to the AV1 where I could turn it on and off at will. That worked great until they installed my lift. Going back to the place of lift install tomorrow to see if they've got any ideas as to what might have happened.

Thanks.

ok, but why would you not want it on when u reverse? follow me for a second here, if your not looking at the screen when u go in reverse, your looking in the mirrors on your blind spots, you dont necessarily have to look at the screen. as far as at will you push the map button then hit rear view when ever you want. that's what i do, and everyone who's unit i installed do when they want to see whats behind them.

Also, when you go to the shop, if you find that they did something with the wires, ask them why the hell they did anything inside your car unless you did a body lift, I have done 3 lifts on Jeeps and never had to touch any wiring except for the ABS in a Grand... Good luck!

Well.....I finally figured out the problem! I know when you hear this most of you will probably be thinking...."man, she doesn't even deserve to rock the Avic for that no brainer!!!" When the power was shut off due to the lift install, it reset the AV1 input to the off position. I had never even known that there was a tab within the Navigation/Initial/AV settings to turn the AV1 on and off!! The fact that it hadn't effected AV2 kind of sent me on a wild goose chase. That's my story and I'm stickin to it!

So, tomorrow I will be pulling the radio back out and hooking the camera back up.....

Thanks for all the input guys!

Just so you know, you can connect the camera to the brown camera input and still view it whenever you want buy hitting the MAP button twice then selecting rear view.

Will do! Thanks!
