Group Buy/Interest - 2011 Rear View Camera

I bough this camera and followed the guide for installation. Only the camera, no remote to activate it on demand.
Everything went smoothly.

But now, sometimes, not every time, when I switched out of reverse, the camera stays on screen.
Not any of the buttons would work.
If I stop the engine and restart it immediately, it's still displayed, I have to stop it for a few minutes to get the thing to work correctly.

Did I miss something during installation?
Had anyone got this before?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

To enter the negative number you first enter the number and then use the +/- button to toggle between positive and negative. This is really counter intuitive, so you may have thought you entered a negative number but didn't.

Anyway, I pretty sure that if you correct any mistakes on the numbers the problem will go away. What is happening is it is a computer after all and it is effectively locking up when trying to do the grid line calculations.

Let me know if you have any other problems or questions.

So corrected that. I'll update you with the result, but unfortunately, this won't be in the next 2 weeks, as I won't be able to drive it in the mean time.

Thanks for your help !
