Reverse Camera Auto-Switching
Today I've being going nuts looking for a Yellow/Green cable, as per the electronic service manual, to hook up to my Pioneer AVH-3300BT. So far the rear camera is working if I select it from the source list, but until I can wire that auto-switch cable to something, it won't do it when I select reverse.
After doing a bit of reading here about towbar looms and the such, it would appear maybe I should be looking for a Blue/White cable instead.
Ideally I would rather wire it up near the dash, any ideas where to find it so I can hook into it? So far my plan for tomorrow is to run a length of wire from the dash to the boot, PLEASE help me out and give me an easier job !
Also today I made a bypass using a 12v 4-pin relay to get rid of the stupid Pioneer procedure to allow the head unit to do anything other than radio without the handbrake on, seems giving a permanent earth no longer works. Works a treat with the relay grounding after the unit turns on, I activated the relay using the amp power wire which gets power about 1 second after it turns on which then connects up the ground.

Re:
Try hooking the camera to the reverse lights, that way when you are in reverse and the lights are on, the camera will work.

Re: Reverse Camera Auto-Switching
Hi Mustafa,
Do you have the standard head unit which came with the Xtrail or a different one ?
Some head units just need to sense a signal on the AV input to switch and nothing else. Fow these you can just power the camera from the reversing lights and it will work.
