I'm assuming you have the camera power wire connected to the vehicle's back-up light(s). That is why the split-screen goes black when driving. If you want to be able you view the camera while driving, you need to find a different power source. I ran a wire along with the video cable to the headunit and tapped into the red power wire. So the camera has power whenever the radio is on.

But there seems to be another problem with either the backup sensor wiring or the setup.

What happens when you shift into reverse?

  1. Do you get any different display or does it stay on the current media source?
  2. Do you get a black screen with the text warning?

The answer will indicate the possible solution.
