Mario: I wouldn't consider using the unit in a full time manor. Every thing in life has it's life expectancy. If you were to use this unit all of the time it's life expectancy would be very short. Wiring it to only come on when in reverse would keep it working much longer. G. Rivers: The monitor is approximately 4 3/8 inches wide by 3 1/16 high by 1 1/8 deep

I really don't know but suspect you can't. Not sure why you would always want the camera on since you would be loosing the middle third of your mirror. Normal operation is the camera is turned on when you are in reverse. Also remember, while this unit is worth what it costs, it is more difficult to see and use when in bright sunlight. Hope this helps.

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 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.

if you wire it appropriately then yes. few people do. I wired mine to a backup light so the camera is only on while I backup my car. In your case you need to wire it to constant + with a switch in between so you may turn it on or off when you want.

Common way to wire this for RV's is to connect the hot wire and ground for the camera to the nearest marker light. Then just turn the parking/running lights on on your tow vehicle and camera will be on. Otherwise, you can wire it to the hot wire for the rear backup light so it comes on automatically when you shift into reverse. Monitor has its own on/off switch.

Yes. I'm currently using this one: Car Rear Vehicle Backup View Camera (Waterproof)

The camera power should be coming from the back up lights and that should be energized when car is placed in reverse with key on. Display has a couple of input selections like av1 and av2 so switch them with the remote or button on display.

Yes, but you have to enable it. The bundle of wires coming off the camera includes a green wire with a disconnect plug. Disconnecting it puts it in backup mode by reversing the image and adding a distance scale.

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.

Something is wired wrong. You have to pull two different hot wire power sources. One for the Backup Camera at the 'rear' of the vehicle that taps into the hot reverse vehicle backup light wire, and one at the 'front' of the vehicle for the Monitor as well. Both the front and the rear must in addition be grounded to vehicle body ground. The hot wire source at the front of Vehicle Monitor can be any hot vehicle wire tie in but must be away from the fuse box to help prevent engine ignition 'run' static. I will hand draw a wiring diagram and return to this post and put it up in a while.

Yes, and I would recommend you hard wire it. While I moved the rear sensor to many different locations, the reception using wireless frequently flickered or responded after a long delay. I would also suggest you have a mechanic or stereo shop do it because Magellan will not provide support if a customer does it themselves.

I don't know if it will,but I thought this was wireless but it's not.You have to splice into the backup lights for power and for switching so it comes on when you back up. Then you need to wire it into your fuse panel to power it up,then you have to wire it to your unit. Also make sure when wiring the brakes you make sure you waterproof the connections or it won't work after a while. And finally the instructions are not clear so you have to look online,to make sure what wire is hot,if you get it wrong you burn out the camera. If you take it to a big box electronics store to have it installed, It will cost 100 to 150 dollars for the install and you have to tell them which wire is hot and which is neutral.

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.

If you can wire it into the back-up light, it will come on when you shift to reverse. If you hook the source wire to + 12V it can be switched on manually or be on all the time.

NO! either use the backup wire sensor so the monitor activates when in reverse, or wire direct to fuse box and monitor stays on.

No, but, you would easily wire a 3-way switch to do this. Essentially when you put the car in reverse it sends a positive signal to the camera, you could wire a switch to manually send a positive signal to the camera when it's not in reverse. I plan to do this.
