ok...i got the vtl 300 plate cam but when i put it on map rear view mode (and im in park) it comes out black completely whats the problem? i had a "pro" install it...should ii take it back? it works when i go to put it on reverse but i need to have the ability to check when i need to ...someone help please

uppin for help

Take it back. They hooked power up for the camera to the reverse wire, not accessory like it should be.

cntrylvr79 is absolutely right.

I have the same camera. I have connected the red wire to the 12V signal (Ignition) going to my headunit. It works whenever I switch to rear-view mode irrespective of whether I am parked or driving.

I am having a similar problem, I am just getting white lines across the screen whether it is in reverse or camera mode. I switched the camera mode from battery to gnd to see if it would make a difference but it did not. Any suggestions?

Nevermind - just found out I had a bad ground!
