Pioneer AVIC-Z1, fried rear camera input

Hi, I recently purchased and installed a Pioneer AVIC-Z1. Everything was working fine. One day I was adding a piece of equipment, and without thinking I was connecting live power on and off to my rear view camera (I forgot to disconnect the battery, etc.) The next time I turned the AVIC-Z1 back on, I found that the rear camera input produced rolling images, poor quality and colours. I have confirmed that my camera is working perfectly (tested it with a different monitor). I double checked that all video connections are intact (tried using different cables). I have narrowed it down to a rear camera video input problem, since even with other video sources, I get the same behaviour. Does anyone know if this can be fixed? Does anyone know if the Aux. Video input can be used as a rear camera input (i.e. make the AVIC display the aux.video when you put the car in reverse instead of the rear video input?). Any tips would be appreciated! thanks Wes

HI the problem is connected to the trigger wire, i  have done the same and fried the camera, you need to select neg or pos in the avic before you connect the camera

yeah I already had the trigger set appropriately since it was all working perfectly fine previously.. so I don't think that is an issue... wes

maybe you did in fact disconect the power, and did not change the polarity on the unit causing the camera to fry

the camera is definately not fried.. I have connected it to a working monitor and the display is perfect.. so it seems more likely that it is the camera input on my AVIC -- since it is not a cable problem either -- I tried new cables.

since its such a new unit? isnt th is more of a warantee situation? it sounds like you are using it properly and didnt "hack" it. Go back to where you bought it, ask em.99 Blazer LT.   Yellow Top.
