I connected the backup camera and there is no video when I put the truck into reverse. The camera has power because the aux video works. What am I missing for the backup video connection to work the way it should using the backup camera input. Is there...

I have the exact same problem, I thought I received a broken camera but now seeing that you have the same problem there has to be something else

I just put one with in our tractor... you need power to both the camera and the monitor... there should be cables ... then from the monitor you should use the yellow cable and then connect that to the video cable. I practiced on a lwn mower battery with some connects to see how it works... If you are using for just a back up the power to the camera should come from you back up lights... since they would be triggered when you are in reverse.

Well... As far as working at night, yes. I live out in the country and don't have much light out here. So when I back my truck into the garage everyday / night, the camera uses the light from your reverse lights to help light the system. So seeing at night isn't an issue. As far as working with your specific vehicle, it should. But for how to hook it up yourself, I just did a general search and found how to install it onto my truck with the help of YouTube. It might take some research time, but there's a good chance someone out there has wondered the same thing and made a video to show others how they did it. That helped me out a lot. Hope this helped.

you should have your transmitter hooked to your back-up light wires. then have the receiver hooked into your GPS. when you put the car in reverse it should automaticly turn on your backup camera.

Hi,if your camera do not have 2 or 3 white,blue,or red short wires coming out from one of the tow camera plugs ,so you can tie tow of these wires to reverse the image,if these wires are not available then you have got reverse camera only (wrong camera),hope this is clear.

Yes. As long as you hook-up the video lead from the camera to only come on when there is power to the reverse lghts. No mater what is happening with the unit if I put the car in reverse the display shows me the camera's view.

Yes it does have a connection for a backup camera, it switches to the camera screen automatically when you put your car in reverse.Josh

It's not necessary. The rear camera and display in the cab communicate via Bluetooth. No wires route from the camera to the unit in the cab. A cable with two wires on the camera connect to a reverse light circuit to either taillight. That's it. If the wiring travels close to the camera along the bumper you can connect right there.In the cab the unit can be connected to a power outlet, fuse box or hot wire in the dash when the ignition is on and off when the ignition is off.

I dont have a back up sensor however i would think that it should not affect either. It is no different than putting a hit h on your truck to tow with and i would hope trucks with senors and cameras wouldnt be affected by a normal tow hitch

tHe camera requires a few electrical connections for the backup camera to work and you have to mount the camera on the license plate you also need to mount a tiny electronic sender unit Under the car. The dashbackup screen simply plugs into the lighter you need some skills to get the job done

I have not tried that.But I would think if you put 12v to the cam & the mon it would stay on.I have mine so it gets power when you put the truck in reverse ie: run the power wire to the back up lights & the mon to a switched power.Put the truck in reverse nothing happens then turn the switch on & the mon comes on.

Thedood,Make sure the orange wire which is the Back up Camera Trigger gets 12 volts when you switch into reverse. Once the orange wire receives 12 volts it will automatically switch to rear view mode on the screen.

It requires a video input connection and screen. Do you have a reverse back up camera?

When wired properly, anytime the vehicle is placed in reverse the camera comes on. Camera turns off once taken out of gear

If you have it wired correctly, yes. Theoretically when you shift into reverse, the poser to your backup lights provides 12VDC to the camera. The signal from the camera makes the monitor power up through a separate 12VDC feed. (This connection is not defined very clearly in the instructions, I guess it is supposed to be intuitive. I found out about it after reading some feedback from other customers.)

On the back of the camera there is a short tail with a yellow connector and a black connector. Also in the box that the camera comes in, you should have a coiled wire with a yellow connector on each end. You should have another coiled wire with a red plug on one end and a red and black wire on the other end. You hook up the yellow plug on the camera to one of the yellow plugs on the coiled wire. The other yellow plug on the coiled wire needs to be connected to the video screen that you are using for a backup screen. The coiled wire with the red plug is the power cord. The red plug goes into the black plug on the camera lead and the bare red and black wires at the other end of the coiled wire with the red plug go to the power and ground. Most people hookup the red lead to the power side of a backup light and the black wire to a convenient ground. That way when you put your vehicle in reverse and the backup lights go on so does the camera. Hope this is helpful.

No. Once the camera has power it turns on. I tied the wire into my back up light so it would only come on when i'm in reverse.
