p5700 rear view cam

well, i have bought a pioneer p5700 and i have had it for about 4 weeks. I was recently givin a rear view camera and there is an av jack in my indash that says "rear view cam" i was wondering if anyone has any clue how i can hook up my rear view to my indash. thanks for the help if so, Great forum BTW!

The P5700 should have a reverse gear signal wire or a backup camera wire(normally purple and white)  You need to run this to a reverse wire.  You can look it up under your vehicle's wiring info...or if you can't find a reverse wire there, you could always meter at your reverse lights and find the wire there.  I would personally drive a relay to boost this signal.  You can also use this boosted signal as the camera power(it may or may not tell you to connect it to the reverse wire - either way, you only need it on when it is in reverse).  Here is the wiring for the signal boost:

You then obviously run your camera RCA into the camera input on the back of the deck.  Once you have the camera enabled within the menu, this will allow the screen to automatically switch over to the camera when you back up.

awsome! great help really!

well what im wanting to do is get it to where i just go to the menu and press the "rear view" or "video in" option and see the camera. I wont like to be able to use it wheneveri want, not just reverse.

Here, the rear view camera has a positive and negative wire coming from it.i asume its just to  power it. then there are 3 Jacks. Yellow, red, and black.

the red wire is probably the camera power...so connect that as i have listed in my picture.  Also, I would suggest installing a toggle switch to a wire that taps into your deck accessory wire.  That way, you can flip the switch and the screen with change, without having to go through any menus.  The yellow RCA is video...the red is the right channel audio...the black should be left channel.  You must have a mic in that camera...you can use it if you choose, but the audio is unnecessary.

OR

If you want to access it through the menu and NOT have it switch when you want it to turn on, do this and install a diode of at least 1amp:

If you do it this second way, you don't need the toggle...but can still add it.  It wouldn't hurt.  Also, if you don't care about the reverse capabilities, you could just either run a switch in series from a wire branching from the accessory to the reverse wire on the deck...OR if you want to access it through the menus, you don't have to run a switch NOR do you have to wire it to the reverse gear sense wire.  My reccomendation is to use the first diagram in this post.

I have a rear view camera hooked up to a separate 3" monitor which replaced my rear view mirror, I wired them both (12 volts and out to the camera power and monitor power) to a hidden toggle switch so that I can use it anytime or all the time, just by turning it on, not only in reverse.

If you use the deck, then all you need is the 12 volts going  the rv camera lead which makes it switch to that mode when power is going to it
