I bought the CCD rear view camera and the Magellan 1700, wired everything but when I put the car in reverse nothing happens. it is like the magellan does not even recognize that there is a cable plugged in. I am using the RCA video cable that came with the camera.

Any thoughts on what could be happening.

Just in case, I wired the camera to the light green wire in the trunk.

This happened to me with my first unit. I took it apart and found that a contact on the board was seperated. Instead of waiting another month to get a replacement, I just purchased another camera and the second one worked perfect.

Has anyone done this to there stock Bose Nav system?

I had this same camera in my 370Z, but I had an aftermarket Double Din Setup.

OLD Thread from the dead... I know...

How are these cameras holding up for you guys? I just ordered a very similar camera on eBay for $22 shipped from hong kong.

I am using it to replace the ugly center mounted camera that the stereo guy installed with my Pioneer AVH3800BT double din.

Thanks

I dont drive my Z much but the above is based on my daily driver application where the little camera gets a lot of use.

Good luck with the install.
