AVH-3400NEX always enters "Camera Mode" on boot

When I turn my car on the head unit will enter "camera mode" with the timer and close button, this is the same mode you can select from the A/V sources and I believe it is different from the reverse camera input mode.

I have correctly wired my backup camera and it works when I reverse, but this issue is stumping me. Videos online have shown an actual camera setting for "Camera Mode" with an ON/OFF toggle but my head unit does not have this option under camera settings. I've done a factory reset and I have flashed the latest firmware but the issue still persists. I thought I could live with it, but having to hit the X button every single time I start my car is wearing on me. Has anybody encountered this?

Or you have the camera on the wrong trigger

Camera is wired to the reverse input from the car. Trigger was set for battery, not ground on the head unit. Is that incorrect?

Yes now press and hold the one key on the radio to make sure it's on set to camera on at all times

Won't that *enable* camera mode at all times? That's the opposite of what I want.

It's the same process to turn it off. If it's not that I would check all connections.

Looks like it only happens when Android Auto is plugged in. I've got a short video I will upload.

Pressing X will only exit out of the camera mode until the next time the car is started.

Show me the camera setting menu. What interface are you using. Cause that is a dodge I see. Show me the connections to radio.

I'll take some photos of next time I pull the headunit.

Using the Axxess CANBUS interface, everything sodered.

Took the dash apart to snap some photos. Unplugged the headunit so I could get a better photo. After I plugged everything back together I have not had the problem anymore. Very odd...no idea.

It's the interface. Axxess interface may need to be updated.
