We have the Pioneer AVH-X4600BT hooked up to the PAC TR-7 video bypass. We was thinking of purchasing a Boyo back-up camera. My question is how to get the camera to come on automatically when the car is in reverse? Are will the camera always been on till you change the source?

To get the backup camera to work you would plug in the RCA from the camera into the input labeled "RC In" which is the rear camera input, it will only power on when there is 12V applied to the violet and white wire on the harness. If you want it to automaticall turn on/off when the vehicle is switched on reverse you would take the violet/white wire and tap into the 12V+ on the reverse lamps.

Here is how we wired the back up camera.

We took the camera RCA cord and used a RCA Y splitter. And connected one to the back up RCA on the head unit and the other to the A/V on the head unit. We connect the camera ground to the radio ground. You also need to run a wire to the reverse light up to the head units back up wire. Now we connected the camera power, to a illmanation swiitch now to a source that stays hot like the battery "NOT ACC".

You can now view the back up camera while driving forward. By just turning the head unit on A/V. And the camera will automatically still come on when you put it in reverse.

By using a switch it keeps the camera from all ways drawing power.
