It was all going so well, took the dash of the Hymer apart to try and fix the poor radio reception and fit a tracker device, thought while it was in bits it would be a good idea to fit the camera too while access was easy. Radio now crystal clear, £20 tracker works surprisingly well and the rear view camera.........nothing, just a blank screen.
The head unit is a Clarion VRX848RVD and the camera is the twin lens Sony unit from Reversing Cameras UK CAM222WMV. I plugged the camera into an old TV and got a picture, not great but think that is due to the TV. When I plug the camera into the head unit I just get a blank screen. I was warned that some head units are not compatible with the PAL camera but I'm sure I read in the manual that PAL cameras were supported (I assume the manual version is correct for the head unit). I know that without the parking brake input signal the display will give audio only, it has the signal and when I remove it I get the audio only warning.
Starting to wonder if it is a compatibility problem, need to find out quickly so I can return the camera or am I missing a trick here. Three out of three jobs completed in one go was probably a bit optimistic.
Any help or advice gratefully received.
