See video above....

I follow the DIY instructions but when I select reverse... I got this..?? Anybody can assist?

Either the camera is shutting down, or it looks as if it is losing video sync so the picture goes to black?

The camera only active for few seconds before losing picture... while it's active it does have lines...

Is I don't use to bad ground?

Hi

From the clip it appears to me the horizontal lines conincide with the car beeping pulses and causing the interference. This is like the interference years ago when an unsurppressd motorbike or car went passed and would cause your telly to have lines on it

I think its worth checking the wiring connections to make sure they are secure and not caught/ kinked anywhere. Again it may be worth checking the instructions as to whether the live power feeds for picture and sound need to be separate ? and also whether it mentions about a suppresssor or resistor needs to be fitted.

Thanks

See Sanj's guide on how to fit rear camera.

"This is the wiring diagram that works (for the purple connection Ign +12v source I just used the White/Yellow wire and it works just fine)" not sure which wire I need to tap for our e53....

Managed to solved the problem.... I use the trigger switch on PDC and most importantly the ignition 12V + I tap to the rear wiper pin13 instead of the reverse light.

However I am facing another new issue... the display on my monitor shows the picture are flipped...

Problem solved... apparently I brought front facing camera..

Just replace with rear facing camera and all good
