Hi , i just got a z130bt installed and i had a backup camara installed also. Its a

Pioneer Rear-View Camera - ND-BC20PA.

I was wondering How Can i use the camara when im going forward. It comes right on when i put it in reverse but i cant figure out how to use it to keep an eye on something that i will be towing. Exactly how do i go about doing that? Thanks

You can do this by going to MAP settings -> View Mode -> Rear View (Page 30 in the below manual)

But this will only work if the camera's +12VDC was wired to a circuit that has power when ACC is on. Often installers take a shortcut and tap into the B/U light wire harness - because it is very close to where the camera is mounted. If so, you will only get a video signal while in reverse.
