Hi,
I recently hooked up my rear view camera to my caska headunit. As it is now it only turns on when I press 'cam'. I know this is because I hooked it up to switch power. My question how do I get it to recognize that I am in reverse.
Thank you

You need to run a hot wire from the reverse lights to the camera, that's how the camera determines you are actually in reverse.Quote:

Then a second cable gets connected from the reverse light back to the head unit (blue wire if I remember correctly?)
There are a few wiring diagrams in another threads that talks about that specifically.
This is what I thought. I saw a wire on the back of the unit labelled 'back' and I connected that to the light green wire with the black strip but it didn't switch to the camera on the head unit.Quote:

yes. The modified diagram is exactly how you need to wire it.
