Hey, received the camera last week, but haven't installed it yet. Will probably get it installed this week and write some review on everything I've had install over the past month. (dynavin, JL audio sub + amp)

Finally got everything set up in the car. Here is a quick picture of it at night, in a very dark parking lot. I need to play around with the brightness/contrast for my Dynavin unit, and it looks much better now instead of looking like black and white.

One problem I don't really like is that the load time takes too long. From the time I put it in reverse and for the camera to come on is probably a good 5 seconds. If I didn't wait, by the time the camera screen comes up, I would've been out of the parking spot already.

I will have more photos later this week, and a video showing the time it takes when put in reverse.

Congrats on the install!!!!

where is that delay coming from? the camera? the screen unit is warming up too long? the relay? where is the relay connected to?

Thanks Terminator!

I would believe the delay is coming from the Dynavin unit itself. 1. the warm up/load time for the Dynavin unit takes like 15 secs. 2. If I'm listening to music, and I throw the car in reverse, it takes around 5-10 seconds before the camera screen comes up. It basically has to "close" my music app, and open another camera app. I'll have a video, as it's hard to explain in words really..

There are some small problems with the Dynavin unit, probably just not enough R&D, that drive me crazy. But those shall be for another thread.

Honestly, I don't have a glue where the relay is connected to. I watched my friend do it, but how exactly the 4 prong relay was set up, I haven't got the slightest clue.

in my case, the factory TV tuner takes over the screen, even if the Nav has not fully booted up - once i throw the gear in R, the screen flips into the reverse image... since i used a wireless transmitter / receiver, i get wireless interference from the headlight system and from other external sources (plenty of those sources around Pentagon!!!)... i will run an actual wire someday - if the interference gets under my skin - i am ok for the time being...
next time i dig into TV setup when I wil l run the AV wires to the factory locations in the rear center console... sometime in the summer...
