I have a clarion nx500 deck in a 2006 VW Jetta. Ive also added a pyle plcm18bc reverse camera. Ive got camera grounded and tapped into reverse light for power. With car OFF camera works flawlessly. Comes right on with clear picture. When car is running camera will not function or may barely flicker on. Im thinking it has do do with 12v going to camera with car off and 14.4 going to camera once the car is running. Thanks for any help you guys can provide....this issue has me lost as far as a fix goes......
theres no need to post in seperate sections what it sounds like is either you have a really poor ground or your 12v connection is poor...
Its not a ground or connection issue but thanks anyway........ Well, i was able to attach a load meter to the battery and load it down to 12V Instead of the 14.4 with the engine (and therefore alternator) running. The screen lit up and the picture was perfect. Would this mean i need to wire in some sort of resistor to bring the voltage going to camera down to 12v's?
