The camera stayed on all the whole time....

I'm thinking the engine is projecting interference and I have to get one of those gadgets that prevents that.

I do have a HEAVY duty 40v, waterproof relay on the camera. So, no issues there.

The damn thing is hooked up correctly or I wouldn't be getting video in reverse!

Ugh... I hate electrical issues. 🤬

My initial install was easy. I mean I totally gutted my logic 7 system completely.

Hey there! Any luck with this? No clue how I missed this response - my bad on that.

To make sure I am understanding:
When the vehicle is running and you put it in reverse, what happens?
1. The Camera comes on and it is clear and HD? (all is well, get a beer and relax)
2. The camera comes on but it is fuzzy and sometimes intermittent (this would probably be remedied with a noise isolator of some sort - or could be caused from bad crimps - like a crimp on the jacket or insulation of a wire)
3. the camera does not come on at all in reverse, but does come on when you select camera from the N7 Menu?

Sorry, wanting to make sure I understand the discrepancy before going too much into Troubleshooting
