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

Sounds like everything is in proper order. That is a bummer.
