If I just hook up a camera to it and leave the other input open. What is on the screen when not in reverse?

If there is power to the camera and screen you will see what ever the camera is pointing at. If you have set them up to only be on when your are in reverse then when you are not in reversed the screen will be dark. I connected my system to be powered from my back up lights.

The screen is just dark with no input signal. If your backup camera is wired to your reverse gear lights then the monitor will only show a picture when the car is in reverse gear.

There is a way on the View screen. 2 buttons to reverse video left and right and up and down.

When the camera is wired to the back up lights, the camera will turn on when reverse gear is engaged.

It's a camera and should be wired into your backup light and only work when you put the vehicle in reverse if properly installed. You will have a picture of what's behind the vehicle when in reverse but when you shift into forward the the monitor screen goes blank.

If the green wire you are referring to is on the monitor it is to attach to the rear reverse light so the monitor knows your car is in reverse. If the brown and white wires are on the camera they are to reverse the image. Tie them together for one image direction and leave them disconnected for the other.

There are two inputs. The cord is Red = Power, Yellow = Video1, White =Video2. However, I don't think you can toggle between the two inputs if both cameras are on. If I turn on only Video 1, then Video 1 displays. If I turn on only video 2, then Video 2 displays. If I turn on both Videos, then only Video 2 displays. There are only 3 buttons on the LCD and a short menu, but I couldn't find any combo to swap between Video 1 and 2 when they are both on.

you can put backup camera in but I could not figure how to make it automatic when you put it in reverse but you have to change the screen manually but it does work

The camera requires a power source, recommended source is the backup light circuit on the vehicle so the camera will turn on/off when using reverse. Brackets are provided for mounting the camera.

On the left side of the camera is a rubber piece that pops out. One of the ports is for a USB cord, the other is for the remote trigger.

I wired the camera to power up only in reverse with a trailer plug in my trailer outlet. I wired the screen into my fuse board under the steering column.

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.

This tv does not need to have it to think you are in reverse. I have mine set up while driving to have view. It's the ability to switch from video inputs. I don't think there is two video feeds (inputs). Assume there is, you can't see both cameras at the same time, you have to manual hit the switch or have a remote or have a video splitter with remote. Hope this helps.

The rear camera should show up automatically as a mini pip in the upper right corner of the screen. You can use the remote up and down buttons to switch the positions on the screen. If everything fails, you probably got a dud as I did. Returned it, got another from another on-line company and it works great!

If you mean the blue wire on the LCD screen, it is a video input switch. The monitor is hooked up with the red wire to 12 volts, black to ground and the blue wire to your backup lights. There are two RCA inputs, one male and one female yellow. The male is video one input. The female is video two input. On the front of the LCD monitor, you can press the "V1/V2" button to switch between these inputs. If you connect the blue wire to your backup lights and use video one for something (like a dvd player), when your backup lights are on, the 12 volts to that blue wire will cause the monitor to switch to video TWO which is where you would connect the backup camera. Shift out of reverse, the backup lights go off and the LCD monitor will switch back to video ONE input. Hope this helps.

Thedood,Make sure the orange wire which is the Back up Camera Trigger gets 12 volts when you switch into reverse. Once the orange wire receives 12 volts it will automatically switch to rear view mode on the screen.

If your monitor is not reversing the picture then you must have received the rear view camera. Check to see if your monitor has a setting for flipping the video. The front view camera I received worked as specified. There is not a way to reverse the camera image except to flip it with a monitor.

A button press will toggle between camera and navigation mode. If the camera is wired to your reverse lights for power, your navigator can automatically display camera footage every time the vehicle is shifted into reverse (and back to navigation mode when shifted into a forward gear.)
