I installed a non pioneer back-up camera. The image is reversed on the screen. Does the Pioneer back-up camera also have the image in reverse and can this be changed?

the pioneer camera also has reversed image.

the image will always appear reveresed as the camera is pointing backwards. if the image was not reversed when viewing in a forward location things would appear to be on the wrong sides.

Obviously you don't know much about backup cams, because there are backup cams that don't reverse the image

What are some other back-up cameras that can be used with the D3, and how much are they?

This is the one that I and several other members on this forum recommend. It is an excellent camera. This seller is also top notch and recommended by several forum members here.

Why would you even want to have the picture normal? If you're using the camera for "backing up" or even just while driving and its not reversed then You will end up making a mistake (if you're relying on it). Not trying to say anyones stupid enough to do it, but why not keep it reversed so you can see EXACTLY what you need to see!

Some people don't have the mindset to orient itself. By looking at the screen on a reversed camera, you can actually relate to your surroundings with left or right side of the vehicle while facing forward (thus looking at side mirrors and dvd screen). On the other hand, by turning your head backward towards the rear of the vehicle, like most people should when backing up is the same as the normal camera would be facing, thus, giving that image. But people can't associate the image in their mind with which way things are located at a quick glance whether an object on the screen is on the left or right side of the vehicle.

What i'm trying to establish here is people can't tell whether the object is located in conjunction with the vehicle while the head is facing forward with a normal camera. Unless you have that kind of mindset that everything is on the opposite side.

As a curiosity. The backup camera would turn on when you put your car in reverse. But when you put it to Drive, you pass the reverse more for a fraction of a second, enough to blink your rear white lights. Does the avic turns to the backup for that fraction of a second or you need to be in reverse for 1-2 seconds before it switch?

Also, in the settings, there is a "Polarity" option. Does this reverse the image when changed?

Thx!

My Pioneer BU Camera does not reverse the image.

And yes, when you Pass R on your way to D it flashes on the D3 Screen.

Another nice feature (after the hacks) is that you can check the BU Camera while towing something.

It does that even when you have not performed the bypass

what? someone hacked their d3? no way

My Pioneer BU Camera does not reverse the image.

 

from the installation manual:

• This product is a rear view camera for checking

the view at the rear of a car.

A rear view camera is a camera that provides symmetrical

images in the same way as rear and side

view mirrors.

simple terms "reverse image"

can you use the cheaper backup cams? something that like $20?

Sure, but don't expect the picture quality to be as good, or last as long as the better ones

I bought my Avic-d3 from crutchfield and it came with a free BOYO VTL400 camera with a CCD sensor not crappy CMOS.

If you're going to use the camera for rear view, you need the camera to be REVERSE IMAGE if not is not worth it. and please buy CCD sensor cameras not CMOS.

Great resolution during the night and day.

i recommend using the audiovox rear view camera... you could reverse the image at the pull off a pin and it also has left audio... they also make a license plate frame one, but that one is flimsy and fragile... ill post pics later...

I have the pioneer backup cam, and the images are not reversed. If looking strait ahead at the monitor (D3), the objects are on their respected sides. For example, an object on the drivers side is on the left hand side of the monitor

Doesn't that make it reversed?

yes, i guess it does. I thought the confusion with the other posts was that the image was reversed on the monitor...making for confusion while looking at the monitor.

so a hack has to be performed for the back up cam???

No, the navigation has a back-up camera input on the white harness
