The only thing I might change is that currently I activate the head unit from the reversing light output on the Light Module Controller (X38 connector pin 9 or 10). It would be better to use the PDC light output since PDC is engaged in both forward and reverse gears when parking (X38 connector pin 1). Currently the Dynavin screen switches off when I put it into drive. |
You need to run a relay with the reverse camera. The reverse light wire or the PDC wire has to much noise in the line. Use a relay and use the reverse light as the trigger. Since I don't use my CD changer anymore ( not sure who does) I used the power wire from that to my relay.
