Reverse Camera in the ODYSSEY

[aka_NSX]

thats very bad . . .

for me since you already got it you should just try to modify it, coz if you ask for refund, you still lost some money for the postage and you don't know how long does it take

make sure you still lodge a complaint and give them a negative feedback . . . at least other people won't get rip off again

The guy's attitude is a bit bad, but he has 'offered' to refund the item, minus postage. I think like you said, not worthwhile sending it back, so I'll have to mod it.
I've told him to remove his Odyssey listings or at least change the item description to say that it may not fit the face lift Odyssey's here. That's at most to what I'll do cos it seems to fit the Odysseys in China.

It looks a bit different from the picture isn't it?

Dan - Actually it looks exactly like the ad. Its the angle that I took the photo that makes it look different.

Quick question for Dan and aka_NSX. Did you guys have to drill any holes to allow the camera cables to run into the boot door? I can't seem to find an opening to run the wires from the plate lights into the boot frame.

[Atjo]

My cable go through underneath the light, so the light doesn't clip on properly, but it's ok because the cover will hold tight the light anyway.

[aka_NSX]

2nd that, but mine its clip fine coz I file the housing . . .

Something is not right with my reversing camera. Hooked up the HU to interrupt when reverse is engaged. Camera also gets power from the reversing light and the camera is attached to an RCA input on my Clarion HU unit marked 'CCD input'. When I switch to reverse, the screen changes and the camera powers up. The image comes out really bad like when you don't tune your TV properly.

I tried changing the AV input source to a RCA Aux input and when I engage reverse, the picture from the camera is as clear as day!!!???? But I can't use AUX cos if I leave the camera attached to it I will need to manually change channel to see.

Anyone got any idea what's happening? The picture is clear as day on the AUX input, but totally gibberish on the proper CCD channel.

[Atjo]

Is CCD input for reverse camera? My JVC head unit has an input with a label says reverse camera. Or maybe the seller gave you the CMOS instead of CCD?

[evolution]

It is labeled CCD input and is descibed as the input for reversing cameras in my HU install book. Wouldn't put it past the seller to give me the wrong camera although it was marked CCD when I recieved it. I'm go to my audio installer to see what they do.

[AusAccord]

thats what i think too for mixing up CMOS and CCD by the sellers especially you said "clear as day" via AUX but i'm noob on this so better shut up........

[aka_NSX]

maybe you should check the colour system set-up on your headunit PAL / NTSC, maybe the camera is NTSC and the input on the Headunit still in PAL . . .

[evolution]

Did that already, I switched between PAL and NTSC on the HU camera interrupt options, made no difference.
If the HU only accepts CCD in the camera input, will connecting a CMOS camera cause the picture to go all crappy?
