Sure would be nice if you would give the simple option to invert the image.... my reverse camera is upside down and I've never seen a head unit that didn't have the ability to invert the back up camera image.... not to mention when I "manually select" my backup camera I get a black screen but when I put my truck in reverse it works fine.... lol
If the camera switches on when the vehicle is in reverse and can not be seen when the camera view is selected, this means you have the camera wiring installed incorrectly. You are using some combination of Purple/White wire and power source (possibly the backup lights) to power up the camera only when the vehicle is in reverse. Your camera should have power at all times when the vehicle is switched on and the camera should switch off when the vehicle is switched off. The Purple/White wire is used to let the in-dash receiver know the vehicle is in it's reverse gear and to automatically open the backup camera window. Selecting Camera View also opens the camera window on the in-dash receiver. Do not connect the Purple/White to the camera. You can see more about the Purple/White wire and wiring Pioneer in-dash receivers in this video: th-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/w-d-xo.html You can find more videos on Pioneer's You Tube Channel here: th-cam.com/users/pioneerelectronics
@@deckerdotto6035 you are correct I believe, my only power source to the camera is the reverse lights so that would explain it. Luckily I don't run into many situations where I need my reverse camera outside of being in reverse so it's a non issue. But if you're in the position to do so, do take the advice of adding an invert image for the reverse camera. Would have saved me 30 mins of fooling around making a new bracket to mount my camera upside down so I had a right side up image, which confuses my as to why it's the case in the first place but oh well.....
I don't get it, my stereo avh 601 ex doesn't have the option for the camera configuration.(back up camera pioneer ND bc8) How can I add the grid lines? The main reason why I bought this unit was because of that, the assist lines. Any help would be welcome :)
I recommend a camera that has it's own parking assist lines. You can find more videos about Pioneer AVH-601EX here: th-cam.com/video/odAhX26wft0/w-d-xo.html
Can I get the Assist Grid to come on automatically with my DMH-1500NEX? I am not seeing it in the camera settings
In order to view the Parking Assist guidelines on the Pioneer DMH-1500NEX, you'll need to touch the screen when the vehicle is in reverse gear and the parking assist guide line button appears. The guidelines will automatically disappear when you take the vehicle out of reverse gear. You can adjust the guideline as seen in this Pioneer How To video: th-cam.com/video/WY0GLsC3AxE/w-d-xo.html I'm not aware of a way to automatically display the guide lines.

My friend has an issue with his AVH-Z7200DAB.Parking assist wont show up when he puts on reverse,the device switches to camera view but there are no lines.The only issue that i found is that he can use the Parking Assist Guide Adjust at any time and that has to do with the way he installed the wiring.Based on your guide the parking brake seems to be engaged at all times.Can this cause the issue ?
Please be sure to switch the receiver's Parking Assist Guideline ON in the Camera Menu. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/WY0GLsC3AxE/w-d-xo.html If the Parking Assist Guide is switched off, you can make adjustments to the guide but it will not appear in the camera window when you put the vehicle in reverse gear.

I bought a car with this deck but no reverse camera, is any back up camera capable to run to this?

I have the MVH-1400NEX radio and I installed it in my 2014 ram 1500 and I have the ndbc8 back up camera and I hooked everything up but when I put it in reverse the camera comes on but when I take it out of reverse the camera stays on and there’s no way to get rid of it besides unhooking the head Unit from the wiring harness, and I do not have the option for the back up lines?
It sounds like there is an incorrect connection for the Purple/White wire on the in-dash receiver. Purple/White is used to let the in-dash receiver know the vehicle is in it's reverse gear and this will automatically open the back up camera window on the in-dash receiver. It should also automatically close the back up camera window when you use another gear. In your case it sounds like the voltage on the Purple/White wire is not changing when you take the vehicle out of reverse. The camera should have power at all times when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle is switched off. Just because the camera has power does not mean you are viewing the camera image. Do not connect the Purple/White Wire from the in-dash receiver to the camera.

I was wondering why I could adjust them before and tried again but it was blacked out. Parking brake wasn't enganged. Thank you!
The only way to adjust the parking assist lines is with the parking brake engaged. I don't know how you did that in the past without the parking brake engaged. You can find more information about the Green Parking brake Wire in this video: th-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/w-d-xo.html
Is there a setting to turn off the warning message on the camera input? It does not happen when in reverse, only when camera input is active. Or is something wired wrong in my setup? 2016 Corolla, 2550nex. Thank you!
I'm not aware of a way to switch off the warning message when you select camera mode. The warning message is not there when the vehicle is in reverse. The warning message appears on both camera 1 and camera 2 screens when you select the camera mode. This is the normal operation for Pioneer AVH-2550NEX. You can see a dual camera video of a similar model here: th-cam.com/video/OhxjLAeSSTU/w-d-xo.html and you can find more videos on Pioneer's You Tube Channel here: th-cam.com/users/pioneerelectronics Please be sure to have the latest firmware installed for Pioneer AVH-2550NEX.

Please help..why my parking assistance guide doesn't show in my pioneer av 251
Please be more specific with the model number of your Pioneer in-dash receiver. You can usually find the model number on the face of the receiver. For example: MVH-AV251BT,
or AVH-2550NEX, or DMH-241EX. Some Pioneer receivers have parking assist guide lines and others do not.

@@vanessaGonz22 Thank you for the additional information. The Pioneer MVH-AV251BT was manufactured back in 2017-2018 and does not include parking assist guidelines. There are a few options to get parking assist guidelines. First is to install a different camera that creates it's own parking assist guidelines. 2nd is to get a new in-dash receiver that will generate the parking assist guidelines like the Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX seen here: th-cam.com/video/B2TTfJUD-es/w-d-xo.html or the Pioneer DMH-WT8600NEX seen here: th-cam.com/video/QrvNkGgRo7E/w-d-xo.html Pioneer makes many receivers with parking assist guidelines. These are just 2 examples. One other possibility will depend upon the vehicle and using iDatalink Maestro RR in the installation. If your vehicle is supported you may be able to use Maestro RR with the current in-dash receiver to use the guideline created by the vehicle. However, please note, this is only if it's supported by Maestro.
@@pioneerelectronics thank u..i will get a different unit
Hi my camera comes on when put in reverse and when the timer button is pressed however when I click the X then put it in reverse it doesn't come on I have to go back into the camera view to open it
In the camera settings menu, be sure to switch Back Camera Input to On. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/WY0GLsC3AxE/w-d-xo.html
Pioneer in-dash receivers are designed to work with the Pioneer ND-BC8 backup camera. I don’t know about the operation of other cameras.
Be sure to plug the Brown camera output RCA into the Brown RCA Input on the back of the Pioneer in dash receiver.
The Pioneer ND-BC8 camera needs power and ground to operate. The camera should always have power when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle is switched off. This is very similar to the way the Red Accessory wire works on a Pioneer in-dash receiver. Just because the camera has power does not mean you are viewing the camera window on the in-dash receiver.
The receiver’s violet/white wire is used to let the in-dash receiver know that the vehicle is in it’s reverse gear and, to automatically open the backup camera window on the receiver screen.
Do not connect the violet/White wire to the camera.
When you put the vehicle in it’s reverse gear, the violet/White wire should sense a change in voltage. This automatically opens the camera window on the in-dash receiver. And closes the camera window, when the vehicle is taken out of it’s reverse gear. One possibly connection for the violet/White Reverse Gear wire is the vehicle’s backup lamp terminal.

On the Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX camera view for both camera 1 and 2 is available at any time by starting at the home screen and swiping to the left. You can see it in this video: th-cam.com/video/DatnoXGI96U/w-d-xo.html On the source selection screen select camera view. You'll need to plug a camera into the 2nd video input on the back of the receiver.

My camera (eRapta Totally Upgrade 2nd Generation Car Rear View Reversing Backup Camera) came with no reverse signal. I was under the impression the video signal prompted the head until to turn on the camera mode but nothing works. I have confirmed the camera works when the vehicle is in reverse becauseI tested it on a small monitor. Any ideas?
The camera should have power when the vehicle is switched on. The purple wire on the in dash receiver is used to open the camera window when the vehicle is in it's reverse gear.

I've got the MVH- 1400NEX, when reverse gear is selected the screen shows the camera whenever it decides to.. It use to show whenever reverse gear was selected but now it only shows sometimes. While in reverse I've got to select "camera view" in order to see the camera otherwise i won't see anything unless it decides to show. Frustrating..
It was working in the past but working only intermittently now. This sounds like it could be a loose or worn connection for the reverse gear signal input wire or Violet/White wire. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/w-d-xo.html

Hi, my camera works perfectly in the reverse mode. But its darked out in case I want to switch it on by AV Source -> Camera View Icon (at 1:05 of this video). Can you help ?
The trouble is the camera power wiring. You are seeing a black screen because the camera does not have power when you switch it on from the AV source screen. It sounds like you are using the Purple/White Reverse Gear wire on the in-dash receiver to power the camera. This means the camera will only have power when the vehicle is in reverse.

I have a AVH 1300NEX installed in my 2013 Subaru Outback. It was a professional install. The NEX would repeatedly jump into the reverse camera when driving forward. I updated the firmware a few weeks after the install and the NEX operated properly for several weeks but recently it started erratically going to the reverse camera when in drive. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this behavior?
The Purple/White wire is responsible to open the camera window when the vehicle is put in it's reverse gear. This wire is sensing a change in voltage (wire is loose, or bad connection or improper install, etc.) and opening the camera window.

When you put the vehicle in reverse, the in-dash receiver's backup camera window opens, but with no picture. This is usually caused by a few different things.
It sounds like you don't have power to the camera. Or you don't have the camera plugged into the proper Brown RCA input on the back of the receiver.
Pioneer in-dash receivers are designed to work with the Pioneer ND-BC8 backup camera. I don’t know about the operation of other cameras.
Be sure to plug the Brown camera output RCA into the Brown RCA Input on the back of the Pioneer in dash receiver.
You can see this on AVH-W4500NEX here: th-cam.com/video/-JidsPPVKnA/w-d-xo.html
The Pioneer ND-BC8 camera needs power and ground to operate. The camera should always have power when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle is switched off. This is very similar to the way the Red Accessory wire works on a Pioneer in-dash receiver. Just because the camera has power does not mean you are viewing the camera window on the in-dash receiver.
The receiver’s violet/white wire is used to let the in-dash receiver know that the vehicle is in it’s reverse gear and, to automatically open the backup camera window on the receiver screen.
Do not connect the violet/White wire to the camera.
When you put the vehicle in it’s reverse gear, the violet/White wire should sense a change in voltage. This automatically opens the camera window on the in-dash receiver. And closes the camera window, when the vehicle is taken out of it’s reverse gear. One possibly connection for the violet/White Reverse Gear wire is the vehicle’s backup lamp terminal.

There's a subtle omission not shown at the 4:30 mark that everyone who is considering an NEX should know about beforehand. As shown, the parking line adjustment requires initiating the parking brake to make the function active. It will not display the camera when you are trying to adjust the lines. You have to adjust blindly, i.e. put it in reverse to see the actual parking space, then put back in to park to adjust again, toggling back and forth between P and R continuously until you get the lines the way you want them. It's a totally idiotic process.
Your backup camera may be wired incorrectly. When you engage the parking brake and enter the receiver's parking assist line adjustment screen, the in-dash receiver should automatically open the camera view window. And that is exactly what happens, and is shown in detail at the 4:30 mark in the video as seen here: th-cam.com/video/WY0GLsC3AxE/w-d-xo.html
In your vehicle, if you are seeing a black screen with the parking assist line overlay, that means the in-dash receiver is automatically switching to the camera view screen. This is normal operation for the receiver. However, your camera is wired incorrectly and is not powered up. So, no camera image.
If you are not seeing a camera image it may be because you are using the backup light circuit and the receiver's violet wire with white stripe to power your camera. In that case you can only see a camera image when the vehicle is in reverse gear.
You can test this by activating the Camera View in the source selection screen as show here: th-cam.com/video/WY0GLsC3AxE/w-d-xo.html If you can't see a camera image when Camera View is activated, it means your camera is wired incorrectly.

@@pioneerelectronics Thank you for this information. I will go back to the installers with it. In the installation manual, it says that the light green lead MUST be connected to the parking brake switch in order for the "Camera View" and "Parking Line Assist" functions to operate with a view of the backup camera (not black). In the case of my 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis, it looks like the intallers would splice into the power lead of the parking brake switch's connector to make this happen? I also assume that this connector would have a power lead that's always on when the car is on, and therefore wouldn't require the parking brake to be actuated to use the Camera View properly, because ....well .... you can't drive forward with the parking brake on. :)
@@frankfarklesberry What is the model number of your Pioneer in-dash receiver? The Camera View Source as shown here: th-cam.com/video/WY0GLsC3AxE/w-d-xo.html should operate without the parking brake engaged. You can switch on the camera view source at any time while driving; for example to check the status of a tow vehicle or similar situation.
I don't recommend using the parking brake to power the camera. Without being there to see the installation in your vehicle, I can not say for certain how the camera is wired.

. The installation manual section you're referring to may be describing the use of Camera View simultaneously with the Parking Guide Line Adjustment screen. In that case, the parking brake must be engaged in order to access the Parking Guide Line Adjustment screen.
@@pioneerelectronics Thank you again for the reply. I have the AVH-2550NEX and the ND-BC8 camera. The installation manual and operator's manual explicitly states that the light green lead should be connected to the parking brake switch, which I assume means that the green lead is spliced into the parking brake switch connector of 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. I plan on investigating this area in the next day or so to see if I can see what has been done, but the installers were emphatic that there was no power source to make the camera work during the previously mentioned functions. TH-cam does not allow me to provide links to my TH-cam videos where I describe more, but if there's some way I can get in contact with a support individual who is truly intimate with the process, please let me know. I have only one video out on my channel here, so you can watch it and see where I give more detail. I am a supporting viewer of a "Panther" (Crown Vic/Grand Marquis/Lincoln) channel, who has many owners very interested in the details of this situation.
@@frankfarklesberry I agree with you. The light green wire should be connected to the parking brake switch. If you need to engage the parking brake to access the Parking Guide Line Adjust menu, ( and some other menu items for example the Bluetooth menu) the parking brake and light green wire connected to it appear to be functioning correctly.
The issue is powering the ND-BC8 camera. The camera should power on and off with the vehicle. Just like the in-dash receiver does. If the installer says there is no way to power the camera on and off with the vehicle, please have the installer connect the camera's Red Wire directly to the Red Wire on the back of the in-dash receiver. The in-dash receiver powers on and off with the vehicle and, the camera can do this as well. This camera has a maximum power consumption of 100mA or less. That's about 0ne tenth of one amp. The circuit operating the in-dash receiver should work perfectly to power the camera on and off with the in-dash receiver. The Pioneer ND-BC8 has only 3 wires. 1 is a brown RCA connection that goes to the brown camera input on the receiver. The other two wires on the camera are black for ground and, Red for accessory power. You can see this in the owner's manual for the camera on pages 5 and 6. You can download a copy of the manual for ND-BC8 here: www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Car/ND-BC8_OwnersManual081815.pdf
I have the pioneer dmh-2660nex I had my back up camera installed and the polarity is set to battery, I got curious and switched it to ground, after doing that, my stereo powered off and then powered back on and my clock reset, everything still works fine, I was juss wondering did I do any long term damage?
What you saw is a Pioneer receiver going into safe mode. The receiver automatically shuts itself down to protect itself. When the receiver restarts, generally, there is no damage to the receiver and everything will function normally. From this point forward, I recommend not messing with the camera polarity switch.

My camera wont turn on when in reverse. I followed I instructions but only way it will turn on if i click the camera.
On the in-dash receiver wire harness, check out the Purple/White Reverse Gear Wire seen here: th-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/w-d-xo.html The Purple/White wire will automatically open the camera view window when the vehicle is in it's reverse gear and close the camera view window when the vehicle is taken out of it's reverse gear. Do not connect the Purple/White wire to the camera. Purple/White needs to be connected to a wire that changes voltage when the vehicle is put into reverse. Some people will use the back up lamp terminal. You can find more videos on Pioneer's You Tube Channel here: th-cam.com/users/pioneerelectronics

My back up camera pops on correctly in reverse but when putting into drive or park the camera screen stays black until I manually switch it off. It wasn't like that until I had to replace the camera at the back of my truck. It was actin jsut as demonstrated here as it would go into reverse and camera would kick on. Then once out of reverse would go directly back to music screen automatically. Any ideas?
What is the model number of your Pioneer in-dash receiver? If it has one, I recommend to press the receiver's microprocessor reset button. This may correct the issue.

mine goes in to reverse than camera come on for a second than shuts off the unit it self is great but back up is starting to piss me off tried 2 ways of the connections both due the same and installers are stumped as well ,also this unit is on a 60s car so not much wires here all of us are missing something .
When you say it's "on for a second than shuts off the unit" , what do you mean? It restarts the in-dash receiver? Or, the in-dash receiver screen goes black? or the in-dash receiver screen closes the camera window, and goes back to the music source screen?
Be sure to plug the camera into the Brown Input on the back of the in dash receiver.
The camera should have power at all times when the vehicle is on, and the camera should be off when the vehicle is switched off.

The Purple/White Wire does not give the camera power. Do not connect the camera to the Purple/White Wire. You can see more about Wiring here: th-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/w-d-xo.html Here are a couple simple tests: Go to the in-dash receiver source screen and turn on the camera view. This will open the camera window. If the camera is properly installed, you will see an image. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/WY0GLsC3AxE/w-d-xo.html If you can't turn on the camera from the source screen, the camera does not have power or is not properly connected. If you can see the camera, check the Purple/White wire. Connect the Purple/White to 12 volts constant. Change the camera polarity to suit your installation. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/WY0GLsC3AxE/w-d-xo.html This will simulate putting the vehicle in reverse, and will open the camera window on the in-dash receiver. If you only see a black screen, the camera is not operating properly. You can find more videos from Pioneer here: th-cam.com/video/ObpKXwrN8us/w-d-xo.html

i have the 1330nex and can not reverse the image. tried mounting camera 180* and images are upside down.
very frustrating
The Pioneer AVH-1330NEX does not include an option to reverse the camera image. It's designed to operate with the Pioneer ND-BC8 reverse image backup camera. When using the 2nd camera input, you can use the ND-BC8 camera in reverse image applications. For example a dedicated towing camera, or hitch camera, or any application where a reverse image is desired or a forward facing image is not required. If you want to use the 2nd camera input as a forward facing camera, I recommend to use a camera that is designed for forward facing use.

Nice video, but I have a camera installed with a RESOLUTION OF 1280x720. I have connected it correctly but
my rear view camera stays black. My unit is an AVIC F88DAB.
Can you tell me why my HD Camera is not wirking ?
Thank you
When you say the "rear view camera stays black", please explain in more detail. When you put the vehicle in reverse gear, does the screen automatically open the camera window and the camera window is black? Is anything displayed? On screen text at the top of the screen? Or are you activating the camera view from the in-dash receiver home screen? If you are activating the camera from the home screen, are you seeing a timer and an "X" at the top of the screen? Are you using camera input 1 or camera input 2 or both? Does your high resolution camera have an RCA Type of connection? Or does the camera have an HDMI connection? What is the camera output type? PAL/NTSC/SECAM?
I have a new AVH-1550NEX. I have had trouble with the back up camera coming on by itself when driving (also, a few times, Apple Car Play). The camera is wired correctly, comes on when in reverse and then goes off when I shift to drive, as it should. It also comes on when I ask it too from the AV menu or Apps button. But when I switch it off, sometimes a few seconds later, it pops back on. I finally decided it might have something to do with the Timer feature. I remember touching that icon once upon a time, but never paid it much attention. I fiddled with it and a bit and now the problem seems to have gone away. Does the unit remember the timer mode, such that once selected, it will always switch the camera back on after a few seconds of inactivity on the screen? This feature is not well explained in the manual, and I don't have much use for it. Why do you need to interrupt the rear camera view to fiddle with the radio in the first place?
On Pioneer AVH-1550NEX, when you put the vehicle in it's reverse gear, the backup camera window automatically opens and, closes when the vehicle is taken out of reverse. There is no timer function available when the vehicle is in it's reverse gear. When you go to the AV screen, and manually open the camera window, a timer function appears at the top left of the screen and, an "X" appears at the top right of the screen. Once you have chosen to manually open the camera window, it will stay open until you close the camera window by touching the "X" at the top right. You can operate any other function of the in-dash receiver including Apple CarPlay by using the Timer function. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/WY0GLsC3AxE/w-d-xo.html The timer function will go back to the camera view after about 5 seconds of inactivity. That means any operation of the receiver will keep it on the source screen. Volume up or down, change radio station, change a song, instruction from navigation, phone calls, text messages, etc... Please note: If you choose to open the camera window, it will stay open until you close it by touching the "X" at the top right. The camera timer is a very useful tool when you want to drive and keep the camera on. For example: when monitoring a tow vehicle, I keep the camera on. I touch the timer function to operate the AV source on the in-dash receiver and I want the camera view to automatically come back when I'm through operating the AV source.

@@deckerdotto6035 Thank you; you've cleared-up my confusion with the Timer button. Another mistake I made is pressing the button that switches between the Application screen and the AV operation screen to get rid of the camera window (which it does temporarily), instead of closing the camera window with the "X." For whatever reason, when you do that, the camera view comes back to haunt you. Once I press that button and, say, the radio application screen comes into view, its a matter of seconds before the camera view pops back on. I still haven't figure out why that happens.
What if my camera feature does not always work or turn on when i go to reverse?

I have the DMH-1500NEX. The backup camera has been working great for months. Suddenly, it's showing a strange angle. Almost like a second camera is installed and it's looking straight down. I only have one camera installed. Is there a setting to fix this? It does it the moment I put my car in reverse. As soon as I change to Park, Drive, or Neutral - it gives me a quick glimpse of the old camera view and then switches to the main stereo home screen.
Any thoughts?
What is the vehicle? Is this a factory camera or aftermarket camera? Are you using Maestro RR?

Stock camera that came with vehicle
Yes, using Maestro RR
I didn't install it myself. I had it done professionally.
I recommend to press the microprocessor reset button on the in-dash receiver. You'll need a paperclip or some other small point to press the microprocessor reset button. You can find the microprocessor reset button on the Pioneer DMH-1500NEX on the hard key panel to the far right. This may correct the issue. If not, it's possible it's a wiring issue and something has come loose or become a weak connection.
If OEM Camera, and using Maestro you may need to check RCA ground shield coming off that t harness and add ground the the camera output RCA.
• If not using Maestro, But retaining the OEM Camera some factory cameras require a 12Volt to 6 Volt step down camera adapter module and these can go bad or loose ground depending on where ground was picked up. Check voltage at this module for correct output voltage and ground.
If grounded in the rear of the vehicle , sometimes rust can accumulate over time (especially with rain or snow) and results with added resistance that causes distorted camera imaging while displaying on the front monitor when shifted into reverse. 12V supplied to the camera should be connected to Accessory and not using the reverse lights them self as a power source. Higley recommended. I like to power and ground any rearview camera at the same connection point as the radio’s main Accessory power & ground point, so you know exactly where power and ground are coming from for your camera.
• Simply pull the radio check the Brown Rearview RCA Camera input and complete a simple test by ground a piece of wire to the chassis of the radio (ground) and touch the other end of the wire to just the outer shield of the RCA connecter going into the Brown Rearview RCA Camera input, shift into reverse (foot on brake) and see if image now appears correct.
• Check firmware version on the radio , should be either 8.12 or 18.12 depending on what the radio is currently running for firmware version. if not updated, make sure to update the radio firmware.
You can find the latest firmware for the Pioneer DMH-1500NEX here: www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/NEX/DMH-1500NEX#downloads
• Check in Camera settings in radio and make sure camera polarity is selected to Battery not Ground

My stereo wont switch to reverse screen when I engage the reverse gear. I have to manually select the option to get the display. Has anyone had this problem? 2003 ram
The camera should have power when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle is switched off.
On the in dash receiver wire harness, the Purple/White Wire lets the in dash receiver know the vehicle has switched to it's reverse gear. When the in dash receiver gets this signal, it will automatically open the camera window. Do not connect the Purple/White wire to the camera. You can find more about wiring in this video: th-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/w-d-xo.html
Ive been having this same problem. 2008 jeep patriot. Were you able to find a solution?
The Purple/White wire needs to be connected to the Backup light. This is what lets the in-dash receiver know that the vehicle is in it's reverse gear and the in-dash receiver will automatically open the back up camera window. When you put the vehicle in another gear, the backup light goes out and the camera window will automatically close. The camera should have power when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle is switched off. Do not connect the Purple/White wire to the camera.

Could I switch to the "front" camera (and easily) while in reverse and the rear camera on? I want to setup a cargo camera for hooking up the 5th wheel camper, but need to override the rear camera.
Yes. It's easy. But first be sure your in dash receiver has dual camera inputs. Pioneer AVH-1330NEX and AVH-2330NEX have dual camera inputs. It's shown in this video starting at about 6:45 th-cam.com/video/OhxjLAeSSTU/w-d-xo.html You can find more videos about AVH-2330NEX in this playlist: th-cam.com/video/kpKYks-17gM/w-d-xo.html
I am looking at the AVH-2330NEX. I have it narrowed down to this or the Kenwood DMX7704S.
OK... So... Looks like I would have 3 or 4 touches to move from the auto-backup camera to display camera #2. 1 - To exit the backup camera. 2 - To get to the home screen. 3 - If I have a quick launch for the camera, or go to the source menu. 4 - To select camera, if I didn't have it as a quick launch button.
I am going to assume that once I put the vehicle in forward and back to reverse (as sometimes it takes a couple tries to line everything up) that I would have to do this all over again for each time?
It would be nice if they kept that camera switch icon on the screen. One touch and done.
You can shorten up the process a bit by making the Camera View on the Home Screen one of your Short Cuts. You can see that in this video: th-cam.com/video/SMHohqS7DSk/w-d-xo.html
Where do I put the reverse wire
In many installations, the Purple/White Reverse Gear wire is typically connected to the vehicle's reverse lamp or backup lamp. A change in voltage on this wire will let the in-dash receiver know the vehicle is in it's reverse gear or not. This can automatically open and close the Camera window on the in-dash receiver. This is not the only possible way to connect the Purple/White wire. You can learn more about wiring your Pioneer in-dash receiver here: th-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/w-d-xo.html If you don't know how to make wire connections like this, I recommend to take your vehicle to a qualified car stereo shop for help with installation.

Thank you so much this is so helpful. I went to a workshop to do some repairs and all my settings were gone. Lived with no backup camera for a few months till I found your video to set my video polarity to Battery. Now my backup camera is back!

I have my camera installed and when I go into reverse the stereo changes to the backup camera but alls I get is a black screen. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
It sounds like the camera does not have power or you have the camera plugged into the wrong port on back of the Pioneer receiver. Pioneer in-dash receivers are designed to work with the Pioneer ND-BC8 backup camera. I don’t know about the operation of other cameras.
Be sure to plug the Brown camera output RCA into the Brown Backup Camera Input RCA Input on the back of the Pioneer in dash receiver.
The Pioneer ND-BC8 camera needs power and ground to operate. The camera should always have power when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle is switched off. This is very similar to the way the Red accessory wire works on a Pioneer in-dash receiver. Just because the camera has power does not mean you are viewing the camera window on the in-dash receiver.
The violet/white wire is used to let the in-dash receiver know that the vehicle is in reverse and to open the backup camera window on the receiver screen.
Do not connect the violet/White wire to the camera.
When you put the vehicle in it’s reverse gear, the violet/White wire should sense a change in voltage. This opens the camera window on the in-dash receiver. And closes the camera window, when the vehicle is taken out of it’s reverse gear. One possibly connection for the violet/White Reverse Gear wire is the back up lamp terminal.

Thanks for getting back to me when i put shift in reverse camera comes on for a split second than shuts down i have to disconnect neg battery than connect again .all works great but backup camera when i connect battery again.
What I'm reading is: the in-dash receiver locks up, and can not be operated, when you put the vehicle in reverse. Even switching the vehicle off and back on does not allow the in-dash receiver to restart. The vehicle negative battery terminal must be removed to allow the in-dash receiver to restart. Is that correct? If this is correct it's possible the you have multiple wiring issues not just the Purple/White Wire. Please disconnect the Purple/White Wire until we can solve the issue. You can see more about Wiring here: th-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/w-d-xo.html Also, have you tried to reset the in-dash receiver microprocessor? You'll need a paperclip or some other small point to press the microprocessor reset button located on the hard key panel.
Hey i installed my backup camera and it works when i put it in av mode but when i put it in reverse the camera comes on but it doesnt show any picture just black but it works in av mode

Purple/White needs to be connected to a wire that changes voltage when the vehicle is put into reverse. Some people will use the back up lamp terminal. You can find more information about the Pioneer Wire Harness here: th-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/w-d-xo.html
Deckerd Otto i ran a septate wire from the purple wire in the back of the headunit to the reverse light that camera screen comes on when i put the car in reverse but its a black screen but if i manual put the head-unit in to av mode i can see the camera perfect and it works but when i go to reverse the camera window comes on but i cant see a image
It sounds like you are using the AV input for your camera, and not the dedicated camera input. I think you have the camera plugged into the wrong input on the back of the in-dash receiver. The camera should be plugged into the Brown jack on the back of the in-dash receiver. You can see the camera input in this video: th-cam.com/video/I6n0_FqAAu4/w-d-xo.html If you have the camera plugged into the dedicated camera input, you will see a warning message on screen that says the image may appear reversed.
