How do I prevent the interference on my PKC0BU4? Put in auto in reverse, camera works but lots of interference each time A/C, park-assist and/or Bluetooth activates. My truck is a 2010 Chevy Silverado with all the bells and whistles. Is anyone else...

There are brief periods of interference when I put my 2005 Chevy Express in reverse but it doesn't noticeably impact the usefulness on the product. This may be due in my case to the wireless antenna from the camera not being mounted securely. Currently it is dangling from the ceiling. This is a raised-roof conversion van which is completely upholstered preventing the double-faced tape from holding it in a fixed location.

Thanks for the reply. I understand it may be us, not the camera, although I've never had this problem with any other camera. May have to play with the white balance to correct the problem, at least that's what Panasonic told me. Two camera stores couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't be so complicated!

I use it for driving cam for my truck. I haven't use it for personal photo or personal recording. What I can see is that when driving, even if I tailgate the car in front, I still can't see the license plate. But if I were to park and the car is in front I can see it just fine. This is due to the resolution of the camera. Also the battery did last about hour and a half when I first got it, but about 3month of use the battery life is down to less then 15minutes then it goes dead. I don't use this any more. I went and bought completely different camera.

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

Yes. There are several ways to approach this problem. First I would try moving the camera from auto to that little guy that is running.

I wondered the same thing. Instructions are LAME and then some. The key is connect the Green wire to backup lights positive which has no power until you put vehicle into reverse. Green wire is the control. When you shift into reverse, power is sent to green wire to monitor and it turns on. When not in reverse, monitor is just OFF, no blue screen, just off. Also make sure camera ground back there is to the body metal ground and nothing else if you have a newer vehicles like 2012 sprinter van, computer did not like camera ground to license plate light wire neg, would disable camera somehow.

I can not answer the question directly, but I would suggest the party go to the Nikon web site and try topull up the Reference Manual for this camera. There is a section called "Easy Auto Mode" that may addressthis issue. It is to detailed for me to included it in this response.

You need to have the GPS turned on, If the camera is wired right with the back up lights, the camera will work in reverse gear.

Yes the BC camera is wireless(sends signal to navigator's receiver mount up to 45ft, further with extension cable), There has to be a power source such as your back-up lights so that every time you switch to reverse the camera picks up your rear area pathway. The camera works alongside Nuvi 2798LMT, RV 760LMT and dezl 760LMT. There is no reason why your unit should not work on your truck. If in doubt check with a Garmin tech.

The back-up camera works fine, easy to install and great picture. I do not have bluetooth but my cell phone works fine with no interference. Hope this is helpful,Mike

The camera power should be coming from the back up lights and that should be energized when car is placed in reverse with key on. Display has a couple of input selections like av1 and av2 so switch them with the remote or button on display.

Sorry no clue. Why not try Walmart Auto Dept. And see if cheap back-up camera from radio display cabinet will interface with your cable. Or Autozone auto parts store usually have inexspensive BU camera. Good luck

I have not noticed any interference. However I use this device in my Pickup Truck as the receiver for a Wireless TV link monitoring the rear of the car trailer. Often interference is a function of the proximity to the receiver. However I have noticed an awful lot of these wireless video links as I drive around. Even with the receiver located behind the console of the truck I have gotten glimpses of office spaces, garages, sheds, and even home TV. Do not employ this if security or privacy are a consideration. Knowing the operating frequency of the wireless devices operating in your home will give you an idea. Anything that transmits a signal should have a frequency noted on the device some place. There are many individual operating frequencies within any particular band. Unless two devices operate on the exact same frequency you should be OK. I hope this helps.

I had the same problem trying to use the camera in auto mode. It popped up, i think every time i turned the camera on in the auto mode, but it wouldn't fire, even in a completely dark room. Yes, the flash was set to auto. It seemed to work fine in other modes. Every camera i've run across fires the flash automatically when used in auto so i figured there was something wrong with the one i recieved.

Don't know.. had it for a year and haven't installed. Tell you next year...MaybeMy guess is the camera is activated by the reverse switch. You may be able to do some custom wiring to get around the problem. Check the manufactures instillation instructions on there site.

Yes! When back up camera connected and car on reverse, switch automatically.
