Group Buy / EOI new generation DNS head units (RNS-510 alternative)

Thanks I will have to ask my installer but when I say on. There is always power. If I turn the ignition only one click I have power to listen to radio etc so I put it in reverse and the camera works fine...but if I turn the ignition one more time the car starts,then I pit it in reverse and it is all scrambled...Regardless I have to send it back if I switch from sd to fm there is no sound. I have to turn off the car and turn it back on...the blutooth I got connected once but my wife could not hear me at all

Do you have the red wire (of the blue / red wire loom coming from the camera to front of car) connected to an always on 12v location? Do you have the blue wire of the same wiring loom connected to the "Battery +" wire coming out of the DNS and NOT the one that says reverse? Do you have that short black ground wire at the camera end connected to a bolt near the camera location in your trunk/hatch?
It seems to work when ignition is on and the car is not "on". This tells me there is a wiring issue and is not the DNS.

I'm not sure, but for some reason I'm thinking it was going to be via DHL? Can't remember. Either way, it should get to me tomorrow, so i'll let ya'll know.

The more i think about it the more I think it was Startrack he was using. Oh well time will tell!

has anyone else had trouble with the camera? when I put it in reverse I get scrambled screen but if the car is turned off and I just turn the key once and then I put it in reverse the camera works fine why is this?

Did you buy the replica RVC from AS too? I have this problem but with another head unit. When you find the solution let me know so that I can tell my installer the solution for them to do it. I'm waiting for the new DNS and Sandy to come back to open up the car again.

Yes I did

Try this for the reverse camera issue. It is the only thing that worked for me.

Seeing how im not using the reverse camera, would the battery feed from that harness work for a amp remote turn on? I am going to guess that the red line on that provides a 12v power to the camera ? Seeing how AS provides the pre-amps but not a remote turn on feed from the radio itself, looking to avoid having to re-route my already fed remote turn on line for my amp.

That would be cool. I have not tested the volts from the reverse wire yet as the battery + only turned on in reverse. I will try that.

We shouldn't have to add another item to a camera that is supposed to "work out of a box".

Correct guys. Especially seeing that mine worked out of the box no problem. It has to be a wiring issue. Just follow what I said and it will work. Remember the ground for the camera has to be hooked to a bolt in the hatch as its a short wire already fitted with a loop for a screw. The only connections made at the camera end are the blue/red wire loom to the only connectors available that will take it, the original latch male connector to the female latch connector out of the camera, the ground to a nearby bolt and the rca (I believe it's a 3.5mm connection at the camera end).
