Aftermarket rear camera interference and overlay radar

Hi,

I've got an after market rear and front camera kit from eBay, and when i put the car in reverse, the camera shows up, but overlays the parking viw, so i don't get the little picture of the car and sensors flashing.

also i have some interferences et shut down, but i think if i jump the camera to the car battery and put some 12v 4 pins relay, it will solve the problem.

here is some pictures attached and a video:


Thak you in advance for your help

I've found the solution.

There is some PIN on the BOX, that i triggered and the view changes.

For the intereferences i've added a 12v 4 pin relay and solved the problem.

I used the pin configuration:

Pin #30: Constant 12v source (I had to connect to the battery.)

Pin #85: Ground source (I just ran a wire and bolted to on one of the tail light bolts)

Pin #86: Switch source (I connected this to the black/violet wire from the tail light harness.)

Pin #87:I connected this to the red wire to the reverse camera

Hope this helps people trying to install a reverse camera.

What interferences were you experiencing? When I turn my car off the backup camera control box is sending out power to different relays and part on my car until my car goes to sleep or I lock it.
