Your question does not give enough details to answer. The connection is pretty straight forward. You connect the camera to power and you connect the video line to your radio. Of course your radio needs to have support for a backup camera.

On any radio set with video cable input connected from camera... There is usually an automatic swtching of the screen to show the video input from the rear of vehicle when you are on reverse. However some cheaper radios require you switch to a video screen manually by selecting the proper screen. Double check all required electrical connections and then check your manual for further directions of still not working and all connections were good. If not done... Make sure the video cable is connected to the radio.

Check to make sure that your video cable is plugged into the rear video port. Also make sure that if your stereo has a reverse cable that it is connected to reverse power somewhere in your car. On my stereo I just bought some power cable from Autozone and ran it from the back of my stereo all the way through my car and spliced into my reverse lights. If you want to always be able to switch to your reverse feed then you will need to plug the video cable into the alternate video port. However if you are doing this then your stereo's parking cable will need to be bypassed or grounded. Otherwise you won't get a picture when you are not in park. This is similar to when you put a DVD in and take it out of park, your car should turn off the picture so that you can't watch a DVD while your driving.

I dont know we had our installed in our Ford Van. I do have a problem with it though. The DVD doesnot work well. It doesn't play all DVD's I bought about 5 new DVD's but only one will actually play on it, it plays a few of our old ones also, its not the DVD tapes it the player. Just can't figure out why only some even new ones will play in it and not others. Also it is a real inconvenience that there is not clock on it when you are listening to the radio and so on. I wish we had not bought it.

Good question. I'm stoned and stumped. I have installed stereos in cars before, including one DVD player, but my Mazda was expensive and I wanted it done right. So I had Best Buy install it. If you use advice and parts from your local audio/video retailer and also use YouTube or written guides from the web, you should be able to figure it out. its not very hard but it would be hard to match what the pro's did at Best Buy. I hope this helped as I am stoned right now.

I believe that is more related to the firmware/software in the head unit. As I was reading up on this camera and alternatives, prior to buying it, some reviews said that depending on your head unit, the picture may be reversed.I would check your head unit's features, as the camera doesn't do the "reversing," the H/U takes care of that.

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.

It could be that IR option is turned off in the DVD player. See the manual.

Where did you by the sound drivers and how much?I finally got mine working but before Brian's post. He is correct' as best I can tell, and the problem rests with our computer software. I purchased a " DVD Decoder" download load on line from Roxio (I paid $20.98 but you can get it for a one time only down load for about $15 -if that is what you want). It now plays DVD movies and installs software which is what I wanted. I uninstalled the Hero program from my computer. Happy with the results but I only wish that I had been able to read Brian James post before I purchased the fix.

There is a possibility that the battery and the ACC line off the radio were mixed, you can try reversing them. It won't hurt anything. All the battery does this keep the radio in your presets working that's what that particular wires is for in the ACC line is to give you power to the unit only when the ignition is on so if they are backwards. It really won't hurt anything, but you won't be able to turn your radio off with your key and if you manually turn the radio off when you turn it back on it should go back to the factory resets. I hope that helps. I apologize, but I must add my $.02. I agree with the other person if you're able to send it back and look for a much better unit. There are many of them out there they cost more. I had one. Mine lasted 6 months than the GPS dropped out and DVDs started skipping unfortunately I was unable to send the unit back and if you had the other units that I bought from san media when I followed broke down and bought a namebrand I purchased Alpine I had more than 2 1/2 times the money I paid for the good unit. I've had the new unit in my car for going on a 8 months now. I think a lab had absolutely 0 problems with the unit works good has a great picture wish I'd done it before wasted all the money I did anyway have a great day, if you need anything else, feel free to ask and I hope everything works right for you

Of those that were able to get the infrared headphones working, did you have to do something special to get them to work? I have 2 sets of infrared headphones from a Sienna DVDS system, but not quite sure how to get them to work. TIA!

You've probably gotten yours fixed or resolved the issue by now, but I have the version of this TV with built in DVD player and recently mine started doing the same thing. The TV would turn on and try to load a DVD and just come back with no disc... no disc... no disc.. I contacted Toshiba and they said leave it off/unplugged for 3 minutes. That didn't end up working. I searched through the menu's for a system reset or restore defaults and found one under Setup > Installation > System Status/System Information. Switch to the next menu and follow instructions when it asks for the code.I did this and it seems to have fixed the issue so far (been 48hrs and it hasn't turned on on its own).

So t17, do you have any advice about how to reasonably & inexpensively get digital videos made on a Flip onto DVD's? LUV LUV LUV the convenience of the Flip, but I was suprised that I can't just burn my videos to a DVD. Called Ritz Camera (at Flip's suggestion since they are 'authorized to create DVD's from the Flip'), and was shocked that I would need to give them the Flip for 10 days plus $29 for the first DVD and $15 for each subsequent copy. Yikes!! So to give my family (some of whom are elderly and don't have web access) 7 DVD copies of the cool little 18 minute movie I edited together from our July 4th party, I would have to spend $120! There's got to be a better way. Any suggestions?

I actually just had Best Buy install the backup camera for me. I am not sure of the name brand, it was one the installer recommended at my local BB. The camera looks really great on the head unit and when I put my truck in reverse, the camera turns on. You have to go into the settings and turn on the backup camera, or at least indicate a camera is present.

LadyR,Try several DVD's. It may be that the discs you're playing are the problem. It seems to me that if there's not enough info on the disc, when it upgrades the picture it fills in the blanks with "noise", which makes the pic look grainy. Just a hunch, but most of my discs look great with no adjustment now.

Absolutely not! I even tried a still image for about half an hour then checked a white screen afterwards. No IR or burn-in. I have had mine for about 2 months. I'm glad that I saved some money by going with 720p.

Good question! I have the same problem! The dvd is STILL in the tv - since SEVERAL months ago. In other words, don't get this tv and expect it to play DVDs. Even my tech savvy son can't remove it without possibly causing damage. (Maybe I'll ask RCA now that you have reminded me.)
