I have an Accord with the factory navigation system, and I hooked up the camera like was said in this thread. However, it stopped working.

I have an AVelectronic converter, and everything I thought was working. I took pictures of my connections. I'm going to assume that no connections for the original ground and power came loose, as they were pretty secure when originally connected.


The above picture shows that there are three wires coming from the AVelectronic unit: the red is power, the black is ground, and the blue to for the reserse camera power wire, which also happens to be red (from the reverse camera). In other words, the blue wire from the AVelectronic unit is connected to the red power wire from the reverse camera.



The above picture shows the black (ground) wire to the reverse camera. This was not hooked up when it was last working. Do I need to hook this to the ground (black wire) of the AVelectronic unit, as shown in the first picture?



This picture shows the blue wire from the AVelectronic unit going to the red power wire of the reverse camera. The red power wire from the reverse camera is then connected to a green wire of the reverse lights.




This picture shows that the red power wire from the AVelectronic unit is connected to the clear power wire, which runs to the inside of the car. I assume that this is still connected. I tested this with a voltmeter, and got 9.71 Volts. See that green wire there? That's from the reverse camera. Is that supposed to be connected to anything? Last time I had this working, it was not connected to anything...




This shows all the wiring that I have. Nothing too exciting here. I should mention this is a Wendy's reverse camera from eBay.



This last picture shows the closeup of the green wire from the Wendy's reverse camera. Like I asked before, is this supposed to be connected to anything? Also, is the yellow wire coming from the AVelectronic unit supposed to be connected to anything for the reverse camera to work? I think the instruction manual said for that to be connected to the handbrake or something.

Bump.

I tried connecting the black (ground) wire from the reverse camera to the ground of the AVelectronic unit, and nothing happened. How would I know if the AVelectronic unit is fried?

I tried replacing the battery in the remote, and nothing. The unit does not come on.

I tried resetting the unit, and the light on the AVelectronic unit blinks once, and then goes off, even when the car is on and the unit is getting voltage (as verified by the multimeter).


Help!

No one?

What is your blue wire coming out of the AV converter connected to? (Where is it getting the 12volt signal from?)

Also, where is that "clear wire" that you got 9.71volts connected on the other end?

Thanks for the reply bro.

The blue wire is the reverse wire from the AVelectronic unit that is connected to the red power wire of the reverse camera. The red power wire is then connected to the green wire inside the trunk lid for the reverse lights. Whenever I shift into reverse, the camera should come on, and it's not.

The clear wire is connected to a positive power source inside the car. I checked it, and it's still connected.

Anyone know how I can find out how the AV electronic unit is toast?

Crook

What's up with the low voltage?(9.71)
I would try to find a power source that has an output closer to 12 volts.

gatrhumpy

iTrader: (1)

Checked the voltage soon after the 9.71 volts, and it was 11.71 volts.

Come on guys, I really need help with this.

I just got the AVelectronic unit back from the manufacturer, to the tune of $95 for repair, and I hooked it up, and it still does not work. WTF!

I have the Wendy's camera. I took off part of the interior trunk lid trim to verify that the red wire from the Wendy's reverse camera is hooked up to the green reverse light wire. I put the car in reverse, the reverse lights lit up, and the voltage was about 10.7V. No camera no worky.

The ground is hooked up to the ground that was already hooked up. The green indicator light on the AVelectronic unit lights up when I use the remote to power on the unit. WHAT THE FUCK. Nothing works.

I verified that the red wire coming from the avelectronic unit was hooked up to the power wire that it was previously hooked up to. I verified voltage also, and got 11.7V. WHAT THE FUCK. I even took a video camera out to my car to see if the video would show up on the nav screen, and it doesn't. Nothing works on this car. No fuses were blown.

I'm completely frustrated right now. Can someone please help me?

Gatr,
I'm just going by how Dom's unit works, but this may be your problem.

Wendy's Camera - Voltage wire connects to the green wire on the TL backup light with the blue 12v sensing wire from your AV converter.
other wire goes to ground.

Handbrake wire - Goes to ground.

All Ground Wires (including black wire from AV Unit) - Go to frame ground bolt.

Try that. Obviously I assume no liability for fried electronics, but I think your problem is not grounding everything correctly.

Good LucK!

Most people don't use this higher end module; they stick with the simpler Dom's TVandNav2Go. Also, you're posting in the wrong thread.

Here is a good thread on the AV Electronics module: INSTALLED: AVELECTRONICS video switcher, with TV Tuner... Awesome!. Probably more with a search. I think a PM to Kennedy would help you as well. Good luck!

P.S. I'm cleaning up your posts a bit.

i am getting ready to install Dom's unit for the rearview camera only. got the pioneer ND-BC2 today. got some questions about the power connection. i am going to use add a fuse circuit to power the DOM's unit. How should I power the camera itself? should i tap it with add a fuse circuit or should i tap it into the reverse light for power? thanks in advance.

datmrman

brabusamg55, I replied in your thread: DOM Nav2go with Pioneer ND-BC2.

TL_Lover07

My brothers and a friend are having problem with the electrical wire that came with dom's, dvd player and Camera. I am not sure what's the problem but the seem to have a problem about tapping the wire. (they do have experience in cars) can someone clearly take a picture what and where should the wire should connect?

brabusamg55

thanks. datmrman

Hey, just did the install Thursday and now have a slight problem with my 2004 TL. The camera (tapped into reverse power) works fine and shows up on nav screen, however the normal screen no longer works (meaning I cannot see my map or audio selection screen). If I remove old wire hub from PNP Harness and plug back into dvd player, the nav screen comes up just like it did before install. I have grounded all that I saw to ground and have no idea why the harness would block old feed. I am looking for solutions other than bad harness because I haven't heard of that yet. TIA.

izmyttz

check your toggle switch..if it's switched you may have the 2nd video input on. Which would black your nav screen out unless you had a dvd player or source hooked up.

tenaciouscokie

well, i tried putting the video feed from camera in other input just to make sure that it wasn't stuck on a particular input... to no avail tho.

I experience the exact same problem when I did my install. This worked for me. Double check your wire harness and make SURE it is FIRMLY pushed into the dvd player.

tenaciouscokie

Thanks 77donavan77 for the thought, but no matter how hard or loose I tried I got no change. I even tried with the car on, unplugging and pluggin back in. I appreciate any help.

tenaciouscokie

okay, solved my own problem. The toggle switch for different video inputs I must have somehow made loose. After a bit of soldering I am up and running. Thanks for the help guys, and the writeup was excellent

SHaFT7

just finished my install, works great, love it!

thanks again for the writeup

This question isn't about DOM's unit but a video quesion, in general. By default, the DVD player will not display video when the hand brake is not set. If I run that wire straight to ground, will I have video full time or does that wire sense voltage, then loss of voltage?

I don't want to watch videos when I drive but DVD-As have a menu and I'd like to be able to see that when I am driving.

Where can I buy this camera? Ebay link is dead...

I know this is an old thread, but im having the same problem. I guess i just got to double check everything, and i will definately be checking the toggle switch. I hope this solves it.

I just got the TVandNav PNP for my 2006 TL. As I look through the myriad of posts regarding the installation of this product, I do not see one which reflects the wiring setup coming form my unit. One post said to ground two white wires, along with others, and I only have one white wire. Altogether there are (2) black, (2) green, (2) red, (1) gray, (1) white, (1) blue and the rgb out cable has one black hanging from it? Two RCA input cables and 1 input (according to supplied sheet). If anyone can provide some guidance, it would be greatly appreciated![IMG]file:///Users/SLWeeks/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot-1.png[/IMG][IMG]file:///Users/SLWeeks/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]

Is the Dom Nav Converter still available?

Sleepy cg3

this is a great write up.... good job

sddale

I bought mine a couple of months ago so I'm sure they're still selling them. Email <sales@tvandnav2go.com> and Kim or Dominic will get back to you. They were very helpful when I had a problem with my unit and the issue was resolved quickly.

ashdec87

bit of an old thread but i'm installing the dom unit now. There's a bundle of short wires (blue, green, black, red and one other color) they are very short and the tips are stripped and tinned. Do I need to hook them up or wrap the ends with tape. The instructions I got with the unit only tell me to use the long wires. A quick response would be very much appreciated.

abracing

the short wires are not needed. cap them off individually.

ashdec87

awesome thanks much!

So I got everything installed, but its doing something really weird. The nav powers up normally but the touch screen doesnt work. Neither do any of the nav control buttons and oddly, the audio selection doesnt show on the upper display. The first time I powered everything up, it worked except for the screen having a yellowish tint. Second and third time it had this red tint and thats when the touch screen stopped working. I switched the button on the dom unit from RBGGS to RBGSG. This fixed the weird tint but the touch screen still doesnt work. I'm thinking I might need to unplug the battery and connect it again, but am worried that if the screen doesnt work I'll be totally out of a radio (audio works normally, just not the display).

The backup camera works fine. No weird tints or anything.

thoughts?

thanks

Check fuses?
I presume you did all of the work in the trunk (meaning you did not pull apart the console at all). Have you checked all of your connections again---especially the PNP harness?
Disconnecting the battery may reset it, but make sure you have your codes before proceeding.
