Ive got a 2007 Silverado Classic with a Pioneer AVH-2800BS head unit. Decided to hook up my rear view camera today, and I feel like Ive got everything done right, but it doesn't work. The head unit switches to the camera when I put it into reverse, but the screen is black.
I hooked the power for the camera up to the reverse lamp. I have confirmed that it has power and ground.
The reverse signal wire on the head unit is hooked up to the reverse wire on the BCM (body control module) The head switches to the camera when I shift into reverse.
I have tried two different cameras on the same wiring, then the other camera hooked up with separate power, ground, and signal wires, still nothing. THEN I tried the different camera and wiring on a different head unit (same model) that I had laying around. Still the black screen.
Should I maybe run the power and ground from the radio maybe? I also dont have the parking brake safety switch hooked up, would that affect it? I feel like thats my next step.
