Pink with a green stripe. I've tested this with navigation input, DivX movie playing, and going into settings while the vehicle was in motion. I did not test phone input - maybe that uses an additional nanny signal? Try some of these other functions.

I don't think I tried scrolling it out completely, let me give that a shot.
I tried everything regarding this and no go. Stuck with the lines.

Maybe it's the radio's firmware? Yup, I used the correct wire, cut it, and put a toggle serially in the middle. Hmmm...

I figured I'd mount this in the OEM location and then wouldn't have to worry about the lines as it would be damn near exact. Was cheaper than the VTL425 also.
I decided that when I receive this, I'll mount it in place of the left (drivers) side license plate screw location. Ill also swap out the right (passengers) side license plate screw location with a bolt. This will keep it the most clean rather than spending time mounting it OEM and that's a permanent change. Hmmm. We'll see when I get it, but that's the plan for now and what this product was intended for.

So with the toggle off, your menu shows the phone/settings/video available while stopped, but as soon as you start moving, it becomes disabled? If so, that would indicate to me that the vehicle speed sensor signal is not disconnected. Try it without the switch, leaving the wire completely disconnected?

Only thing else I have done is grounded the e-brake line on the 16-pin, but that shouldn't be necessary for phone/navigation/settings. That's only used for video playback as far as I know.

I double checked today and mine does do phone also.

Just replaced the Pyle license plate cyborg camera with a Boyo. Looks 100x better and stock! Adjusted the backup lines as well.

Take a look:

Whichever's convenient and driven off of ACC, not always live or you'll kill your camera sooner. Just use the same amp fuse rating on the bottom slot of the add-a-circuit, since that replaces the functionality. The top slot goes to the new circuit.

I used the seat heater fuse.

But where are you going to mount it? It requires a large hole.

I was thinking the original camera location.. (i didnt see the size specs on it.. but I hope fits) if not. I may just return and get something like yours.

Did you use SVXdc wires?
