Backup camera cmos300 trouble shooting

370zFORme!! · 01-02-2011, 01:06 PM

OK I figured it out! Once I selected the cmos 300 camera, it asks me if I want to view the rear camera, I then put the car in reverse and click yes. Then, when it takes me back to the camera selection screen, I select the cmos 300 and the guideline set-up screen came up right away. Tree you're the man! rep added! Cant thank you enough! I gotta say its almost orgasmic when I properly troubleshoot something until i figure it out!

Awesome.If you want to be able to turn the camera on without being in reverse, you'll have to run the power wire to your auxiliary power. Mine is that way and I can push and hold my "AUD" button and the camera turns on without being in reverse.
By doing this, you can access the camera in any gear. Reverse will turn it on, but you can also trigger it with the "AUD" button.

So i installed a kenwood CMOS-200 and have a picture in reverse but nothing when i hold the button to view while driving. I have the reverse tapped into the reverse light and the power tapped into a red accessory power source...is this not correct?
