I recently purchased a pioneer avh1440nex to install in a 2008 Ford Edge SEL. I purchased it from Crutchfield and had them attach all the wiring harnesses. I am having a few issues and cant figure them out. First issue is the backup wire. I purchased a backup camera to go with this system and I need to attach the purple back up wire to the factory back up wire. I am told that the back up wire on the 2008 Ford Edge is in the driver's kick panel and is light green/brown on the wires going towards the back of the car. I find a brown/green but no green/brown. Does anyone have a picture of this wire location? Then I have installed a bypass to the parking brake wire so that I can access all the settings on my radio. I am not sure if it is the problem but when I turn on the head unit it wont let me go into settings. It goes for like a second and then goes back. So I cant turn on the camera settings or anything. If I reset the radio with the reset button it works for a short while and then goes back to not allowing me to change anything. Does anyone know what this might be? I am not sure. I may have to just bring it to an install shop and have them do it. I was trying to save the money since I am somewhat handy. Apparently not hand enough. LOL. Thanks.
