AVIC-D2 - Chime Retention & Backup Camera Questions

[rjmoose]

Thanks for the replies!!!

One more thing:

Does anyone know if the PAC Chime Retention Module have a volume control switch/knob on it like the Peripheral module does?


Sorry...one last thing:

f5fstop (or any other Pioneer camera owner):

Does the camera mount with screws or just adhesive tape? If it only mounts with tape, I would think it would be susceptible to coming off pretty easily or always needing to be readjusted...thanks again in advance!!!

The Pioneer camera comes with a small bracket, similar to a hinge. The camera mounts to the bracket with small screws, and the bracket can be mounted with screws, two-sided tape, or two-sided tape and a large tie-strap. I mounted the bracket to the top of the trailer hitch, then strapped it for insurance with a large (3/8 inch wide) tie-strap.

Thanks again. So, I COULD mount it with screws if I felt that was the best/most secure way?

What is that on the front of your camera? It looks like electrical tape or something. Maybe I just have really bad eyes!!!!!

The picture was taken before I removed the plastic protective covering strip that was on the face of the camera. Sunlight makes it look like it is cracked.
You can see the wiring harness, enclosed in electrical conduit, running to the left of the camera.

f5fstop et al:

If I replace my SAVV camera with the Pioneer camera, are the cable and connections all the same? In other words, does a new/different cable have to be run throughout the entire car for the Pioneer camera or are the cable/connections the same for every rear view camera?

Thanks again!!!!

Where they connect into the back of the unit, yes, but from the camera to the unit; not sure. The pioneer comes from the camera to a small converter box with one cable. From that box, it comes out with the RCA plug cable to the AVIC, and then a ground and power wire.
