Back Eye Camera for AVN 6600 problem

[H2D2]

I don't believe it is. The installer said that other cameras you're supposed to hook it up to the reverse wire but the instructions on this didn't say to do that. I bet that they are all pretty much the same.

Tim, do you know about if this unit and camera needs to be hooked up to the reverse wire?

Well it needs to be. The reverse wire doesn't need to be hooked up directly to certain cameras, these including yours and the pioneer nd-bc1 that I know of. The headunit controls when to turn it on and all, not the camera.

With the headunit settings on automatic rear cam, it looks for the reverse wire signal that's coming directly into the headunit, then it switches the view when it sees it.

I'm not sure because I have a pioneer, but you probably have a system details screen on your headunit that will show you all the connections and their status. It should have the reverse wire status, put it in reverse, if the status doesn't change...that's your problem.

Just checked the system settings, and you're right, it doesn't change when I put it in reverse. Now I know what to tell my installers on how to fix it. I'll put more info in here when I get it. Thanks!

Go back to your installer and tell them to hook up the green wire on the 6600 to reverse signal (I believe it is also a lt green at the bcm, but need to check notes to be sure). The camera does not need any external wiring on its own as it is just a slave to the head unit and plugs right in.
