I ripped out the wireless camera and installed the wired and the EXACT same behavior. The camera immedietly switches on and screen changes to backup view when put in reverse. I move to drive and it continues on the rear camera. I put in park it continues on the rear camera. After 15 seconds it finally returns to the normal screen. Definietly not immedietly.
I could go unsolder and redo the trunk side again this time with no relay and getting power off the red pigtail on the RCA but if this happens yet again I'm 
Automatic e90 w/ AVIN 10.25 w/Snapdragon. For those who say your camera immedietly switches are you using a relay off the reverse lights or just depending on the power off the RCA pigtail?
AVIN support told me this is expected behavior on the wireless camera but the fact its doing it on the wired camera I'm thinking this has to be a software / setting problem. I have it set to Aftermarket camera and haven't touched anything else. |
FINALLY fixed. You must select "360 camera" NOT "aftermarket camera" which is what support says you should use for an Automatic e90. Additionally you must disregard the instructions to connect the head unit "Camera 12V" to the red pigtail coming out of the RCA, you must connect the red pigtail to the Pink "Camera DET" wire. All this applies if you are using a relay.
Now I'm going to experiment and ditch the relay and power the camera via the "Camera 12V over the pigtail directly to the camera, this will require the AVIN to recognize on the CANBUS to switch the screen its in reverse and not use the reverse lights as a trigger, wonder if this is possible.
