Does this unit have a fuse? Have you checked this?

Wholesalers are really not there to provide tech support to end users. The traditional distribution model is manufacturer > wholesaler > retailer > customer. If you shortcut the process and buy further up the supply chain you may get a cheaper price, however you'll usually pay for it in other ways (i.e. support, etc).

You can sometimes save yourself some $ doing this, however there are times when you are better off paying extra for a reputable reseller who supports the product and customer. I don't think that it is unreasonable for a wholsaler to ask you to return the goods for a replacement. You would normally have to do this in a retail environment too (take it back into the store). The wholesaler will have to pay for the return freight to the manufacturer so unfortunately everyone pays when there is a faulty product that gets shipped from a factory.

The cost to the distribution chain for a faulty product can be quite high and sometimes it's not worth returning the goods and just binning them (not saying this is the case here).

I forgot to provide an update of my issue. Since I am from Canada, there isn't any retailer for ANS locally hence I had to purchase directly from China.

Anyway, back to my issue, the fuse was actually fine. It turned out to be a bad motherboard. They shipped me a new motherboard and i just had to do the wiring and soldering myself. After all, the unit is working like a champ now!

You might get an Audiosources distributor coming (kind of) your way in the USA soon

Good to hear your issue was resolved. If you get a responsive sales rep with Audiosources things are generally ok, though sometimes they may not always pay attention to one-off retail customers. Having said that, if you don't have a reseller in your area there isn't much you can do, plus there's always the possibility that your local reseller might be too clueless to help anyway... Here's to hoping that Audiosources will choose their distributors carefully.

Hello everyone. Im having problems with my rear camera. When I put a reverse gear with the engine working the camera doesnt work, but when i just switch on the car without start the engine and put the reverse gear camera works fine. Sorry about my english.....

I have the same problem too! but non ANS unit. Did you buy the rear view camera from audiosources too?

The problem is most likely with power source or the relay - did you try to connect the camera to a known permanent 12V source (maybe even from an external adapter) to see if there is signal? The camera will either be faulty and not turn on, or simply turn on when power is supplied and turn off when power is cut off. It does not detect any other signals or gears by itself and choose whether to turn on or not...

I have a video of it. Not working rear view camera - YouTube I had exoticars install it for me, so I don't know the full details. It does flip out when I change to reverse as you can hear the motor and see the image when it runs on the car battery. When I turn the engine on, it stops working.

It has been like this for a year now because I thought it was my head unit that was why I wanted a DNS810 that keeps getting delayed too. But if there are other people with the same problem it might have been the camera after all this time. Has anyone else with replica that DkN sells have any non issues or issues with their unit?

Is there an iPhone5 lead for the ANS 810 available? I want to avoid using a load of adapters.

I still think it's the wiring. After you turn on the engine have you checked to see if the camera is still physically popped out behind you?

As I said when the camera is shown to be working without an issue with ignition on, problems at other times with displaying image can only be wiring or head unit. The camera's job is very simple, turn on when power is supplied, turn off when power is not. The rest is controlled by the wiring / head unit.

Audiosources does not have iPhone 5 leads yet - I hope they will make these too but at the moment it's not a priority and I don't know when they will do it.

I'm pretty sure its not the wiring. The camera pops out when the engine turns on and the reverse gear is selected of course. I will make a video of it. As I said exoticars installed it for me. They have installed many genuine cameras. I will make a video of it afterwards to show you how. It works sometimes (i.e. once every 100 times) with the engine on but sometimes it doesn't. Once I get my hands on the 2nd batch of the DNS I will be more certain. In the mean time Sandy don't worry about it too much. It has been a year without it working so I can wait a month more. I will post a video of it with the engine on later today. Although I am having problems with opening the boot recently because it won't close properly sometimes in the recent month.

Here is the video.

Just checked the DNS group buy. Doesn't look like a good start. Yeah it might be my current head unit not the camera because it behaves like how raymond describes it. It works in "accessory" mode but not when the engine on. Weird.
