Does the unit automatically display the backup camera when you put the car in reverse. I installed a camera and I THOUGHT it did that initially.

Yes but the camera must be purchased separately and installed, then the unit will
71711
It does if you wire it to. If you install it a certain way it only works if you have the camera option open on the screen.
71712
The screen opens automatically or whatever you want. When you go into reverse, it opens if closed and shows backup camera. Sometimes it takes time to show back up camera. We also installed an additional switch so we could put into back up mode only while maneuvering the car back and forth getting out of tough parking areas.
71713
Yes it does, If you connected the cable that comes from the reverse light in to the backup camera.

There is a wire in the back wiring harness for the reverse cam it must be spliced in the wiring harness to a wire that is only hot in reverse take the. Car to a car audio installer and they will know what wire it is for your car.Or test it your self if you are able .
71715
Yes. I had someone else hook the camera up for me so i cant really tell you what needs to be done.

The green/white wire from the main wiring harness from the head unit must be wired directly to either your shifter in an automatic car, or to the backup light reverse switch usually located on the transmission in a manual car. Either way, you would need either a test light, or a schematic for your particular car to know which wire in the car to connect the green/white wire from the head unit to. Once this is wired correctly, the camera's view will automatically be displayed on the screen - even if the entire screen is in the closed position (it will come out right away, and display the camera view). You can also turn on the camera view anytime from the main source screen, even if you are driving forward.

If you follow the recommended power termination, no. As the system only comes on when the vehicle is put in reverse. And the monitor shows both the fred from the camera and the distance of each sensor from objects.

Yes rear camera is displayed all the time. And also there is mode to keep camera on all the time.

Yes if only u connect for it continuous power cable..there is in pioneer radio a menu where u turn it on while driving...however the guy who installed it for me connected camera power cable to my reverse light..so the camera only gets power when I am in reverse mode

yes it has a camera on the back of the unit and a camera for the reverse. you can record as you drive. check to make sure every thing works. easy install. finding a spot for the reverse camera will be your problem. sun light glare in the day time / light up the inside of your car at night. i hope this will help you , i love my unit. blue tooth was missing from my unit could not connect my phone. $ 20.oo to return it. out of pocket.

The camera requires a power source, recommended source is the backup light circuit on the vehicle so the camera will turn on/off when using reverse. Brackets are provided for mounting the camera.

Back up only works when shifter is in reverse because it works off of the back up light circuit. A rear view is wired off of the ignition circuit soIt can be viewed anytime the vehicle is being operated

No...it just plays whatever it is connected to...both my cars where I use this have auto reverse, but have had no problems...

I had to connect the camera to my alpine head unit HD920. Then there was a wire off of the head unit that tied into the gear shift to activate it when you put the vehicle in reverse. So to specifically answer your question no you do not tie it into the the reverse light but you do have to tie it into something that can tell it when you put the vehicle into reverse. Hope that helps. Steve N

Yes, the monitor is built into the rearview mirror. You can attach the backup camera power cords to the backup lights. Whenever you shift into reverse, the camera powers up and the picture on the left part of the mirror shows up. When the camera is off, you only see the mirror.

It's a camera and should be wired into your backup light and only work when you put the vehicle in reverse if properly installed. You will have a picture of what's behind the vehicle when in reverse but when you shift into forward the the monitor screen goes blank.

If you mean the display does not show the camera when you put the car in reverse, then you need to make sure the reverse wire on your radio is connected to the backup lights of your car.

Yes, the camera that is purchased separately ties into the vehicle's reverse light wiring harness. Any time the vehicle is placed in reverse it will come on. Be sure to pay the extra money for a good camera because this mirror has a high quality screen.

OK, I hooked the camera up and it is not in "reverse mode", it is not like you are looking in the rear view mirror, how do you swith it to be like you are looking in the rearview mirror?

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

I actually just had Best Buy install the backup camera for me. I am not sure of the name brand, it was one the installer recommended at my local BB. The camera looks really great on the head unit and when I put my truck in reverse, the camera turns on. You have to go into the settings and turn on the backup camera, or at least indicate a camera is present.

I believe that is more related to the firmware/software in the head unit. As I was reading up on this camera and alternatives, prior to buying it, some reviews said that depending on your head unit, the picture may be reversed. I would check your head unit's features, as the camera doesn't do the "reversing," the H/U takes care of that.
