Ther eis a sat nav system in the boot/trunk with no CD in it.. but i dont get anything on screen and would like rear view even when not reversing... any ideas??
Come on all you JDM owners...help a newb out!
Welcome to the site...good luck getting your problem sorted out.
While we wait on your UK (or Aussie or New Zealander) brethren to answer, want to post some pics? Very interested in what "Liberty Blue Mica" looks like.
Sorry 868 is Empire Blue Mica

Cheers for the kind words of support...
I like ... looks like the same color that Sprey had in NZ.

Hi welcome!!
Its from an old member that one! Nice purchase!!!!
Can you cycle through any screens on the monitor?? i.e the radio etc or is there literally nothing?
Another way to check if the camera is working (bit of a pain)
1. See if there is a servo noise when you put it in reverse, the flap on the boot should open up for the camera to pop out.
2. Then, open up the cover for the jack storage. There is a small box of tricks in there with a male RCA out. Plug a yellow rca into it, then into a portable TC etc. When you put the car into reverse you should get a picture come up from the camera.
3. if nothing works put it ALL in the bin and just buy a ripspeed head unit with a screen. It all wires in and works fine. Most people have ditched the standard Sat Nav equipment. It doesnt/ and never will work in the UK.
+1 - SO wish some of those 175 colors were available in the USDM. Those blue colors are amazing. :(Quote:

Et voila.......... So my camera is still working when in reverse...
Did you power yours all the time ... if so do you know the easiest live hook up
