I ordered an all-in-one dash cam, backup cam, GPS unit from eBay. I got it last night and I just installed it. I'm having an issue where the camera does not initiate backup mode when I put it in reverse. The "picture in picture" of the unit shows the rear camera working but when put into reverse, it does not work properly.
The instructions it came with are....not even instructions. No surprise. I'm hoping someone can lend a hand as I've never installed a backup camera before and maybe I'm just missing something.
The plug for it has a headphone style jack, which plugs into to unit. It then leads to the back for the camera and has a red wire. I assumed that red wire needed to go to the reverse light power wire but that's not working. I noticed it has a blue wire, which generally would mean remote....but it's looped back to itself so it doesn't look like it's supposed to be cut and wired to anything. I have no idea, though.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated it. The company I got it from off eBay is extremely slow to respond and I have my car all taken apart right now.
