Try one episode now before it all gets spoiled. It's like an homage to every 80s cult movie made.

I have a bunch of stuff for the anesthesia machines that I need to get done before morning. Hopefully, within an hour or so I can have some time to chill out.

Man this pos laptop I got for tuning the car must have usb 1.0 lol
Taking flrever to load 1.25gb on the stick for the firmware update, which it needs.

There we go...

Now just to see wtf they mean by 'wait a while'

Little more specific would be nice

Thanks for reminding me I had another one I could use to test.

Unfortunately it didn't fare any better

This is bugging the heck out of me now!

Not sounding too good. Sure the camera feed has a good connection? Which wire did you tap into for the reverse signal?

Had a third camera and tried it too. No dice.

Tapped right into the drivers side reverse light for the signal (IIRC it was green). And the signal is definitely working because it switches to camera view when I put it in reverse and overlays the grid. Just not getting image out of the camera.

The camera itself is powered from the same switched B+ as the HU

Grounded to the chassis in an existing spot.

Other than that it's just plugging in the yellow rca into the camera input on back of the HU. Basically foolproof - and I'm more than comfortable with audio system wiring etc. This should be child's play!

Got the pc screen to mirror on it too, for what that's worth

ChaseZ · 08-04-2016, 12:16 AM

Hooked the hdmi port directly to my laptop and got some video going on!

So, with that Apple hdmi/lightning to usb digital adapter the video should work on the HU.

Doesn't explain the darn camera but it's a good step.

Could be the camera is a dud too maybe

ChaseZ · 08-04-2016, 01:25 AM

That it is.

Even tried running power right to the battery instead of switched on the off chance that's what the camera liked.

I think it's ME the camera doesn't like lol

Oh well at least the video (sans bypass) and Bluetooth are both working. Got that Stranger Things or whatever it's called going on it right now. Maybe it's time to grab some popcorn and recline my drivers chair a bit
