Backup camera not working

2007 TL-Type S
6-speed MT
The backup camera does not work at all. Screen does not change at all when car is put into reverse - does not blank out (turn black).

Do you reverse lights come on?

If the reverse camera does not come on at all when the car is in the reverse gear, look for a blown fuse.

I don't think the '06 TL had a backup camera as an option. Either you have an aftermarket camera or swapped with the 07/08 license plate frame/navi.

Help! Backup camera on an Acura TL 2008

I was wondering if anyone anyone knows why my Navi screen won’t switch to my backup camera when putting it in reverse. I have an 2008 TL base model but I converted it to navigation and the backup camera was the last piece of the puzzle but I don’t know why it’s not working. The Navi diagnosis’s recognizes it but it won’t turn on when I put it in reverse gear. Is there a trigger wire harness I’m missing or does the dvd rom in the trunk k provide the power ? Hopefully someone can help me with this. Thanks

It has to be triggered by the reverse light wire, I believe...

Looks like the Backup light switch is the trigger. Pin C5 green wire on the NAV connector
