Traded my '17 Accord for a '22 Accord Hybrid. I removed both cameras only, dealer said I could leave the old HK3 hardwire kit, rear cam wire, and mounts intact. I had to buy two new window mounts (front is GPS mount, same as original), a new HK3 hardwire kit and a rear cam cable. Same installer installed the new cam, but no power to the cam. Installer checked, stated all three wires were connected to proper power in the fuse box. Still no power to the cam. Asked me to come back tomorrow.
I was able to visit my old car at the dealer and plugged the cam back into the old USB hardwire and the cam fired right up. It's clearly a power supply issue in the new car install. The installer seemed stumped but asked me to come back tomorrow for him to check. i think he's going to remove the HK3 and test it on his bench. I'm trying to get as much info as possible tonight. Assuming that everything IS connected to the fuse box correctly (he is an established dealer installer, but we all make mistakes....). what else could we check? Since it worked in the '17 tonight, I have to be certain that it's a power issue. The new car is an Accord Hybrid, just curious as to whether that could impact something (ie the regulator on the HK3 is getting weird battery vibes from the hybrid battery?) and cutting power to the cam to prevent a dead battery? I'm pretty sure that the installer just left the voltage regulator at whatever the factory default level is, but I was wondering if the regulator was maybe cutting off power to the cam from some odd hybrid battery issue.
TLDR; cam works in '17 Accord with HK3 kit but not a '22 Accord Hybrid with HK3 kit
