Ok, so I had my Kenwood DNX6960 installed, and I've been having a problem with the back up cam- a Boyo VTL420C.

Sometimes it just goes to a black screen, but the monitor has a header stating "Rearview Camera" or whatever it says when initially selected. Another time the screen was completely green. If I select another source, or put my car into Park or Drive then back to Reverse, it still won't work. When I turn off the car completely and restart, it always works again, and for the remainder of the time I keep the car on. This make sense to anyone? Is it most likely a bad ground?

On a side note, the new radio has the worst AM radio reception, far inferior to the stock radio. Any ideas or ways to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

 

99% probably bad power or ground. I'd check your wiring. I just did the same install on a 2011 Sportback Ralliart. Where'd you tap the power/ground wires? If you tapped the rear lights (reverse/brake/etc) make sure the connection is good. It's a thick wire. If you're using the easy vampire-like cable splices, consider stripping the power and ground wires, feed the power/ground of the Boyo through the middle and wrap it around the exposed wire, then wrap with electrical tape. I had to do this as these power wires on the rear lights were way too thick for the vamp clips you can buy at autozone (which worked for everything ELSE).

 

Thanks. Since it was cold I paid a shop to do it
