I didn't need a ground loop isolater either. 2009 GTS with Bose.

Appreciate the responses guys, thanks! Now to just hold off for a better deal... The 8% off has been replaced by 5% off - the Scotsman in me refuses to buy now knowing it's been offered for less!

E mail him, and tell he he gets the sale NOW at the lower price.

There is a 4Channel Russian MOST adapter that does offer fader. Search Alibaba for MOST Bose adapters and you will probably find it. I think I linked to it previously.

I installed my reverse cam, FINALLY.

I used an NTSC splitter to plug it into both the reverse cam input and the AUX in (so that I can monitor things like expensive toys on the hitch mount when on the highway or bumpy roads, etc.)

Having an issue, though. How do I get it to pass the video directly through to the screen when I throw the car in reverse? Is there a signal wire on the unit I need to hook up or is there a software setting I need to access? I briefly looked through, but did not find anything. Thanks, guys!

hgupta

Word.. Mine automatically switched from day one without having to set anything. I like your splitter idea. Occasionally I do wish that I could see out of the camera whole driving. That would be perfect.

nodoors

Blast, I wonder how I can activate it. Hard reset perhaps? Did you power the camera from the unit or separately like I did?

psoma

Thanks hgupta - decided I'd stick with what I know, so I'm going to go the 5 channel amp route.

Interestingly though... I went to purchase the unit from Seicane, and it's now being listed as an Android 6.0 9" unit?!?

Cheers,

Wow! It is listed as Android 6.0 now! Wish I waited Grrr. Wonder if Seicane will issue an update for us?

nodoors

They very well should... There are quite a few apps that I would like to run that require a newer version of Android.

Reverse Camera.

Okay, I am beginning to think that the canbus reverse detection is not going to work until/unless the unit is fully booted.

Is the way you guys are getting it to display the reverse camera by sending 12v to an extra wire in the back of the of the Seicane unit in addition to the video signal? If so, which wire did you use?

nodoors

While waiting for responses I played with all of the 'extra settings' options using the '123456' password that I could find referring to a reverse camera and nothing turned it on when I put the vehicle in reverse. I am still on stock firmware.

hgupta, did it work for you out of the box with stock firmware and IQ Navi with only the NTSC video feed on the reverse-cam input and no other signal wire?

I wondering if sending an NTSC video signal to the reverse camera input all the time is confusing it perhaps? I would wonder if the camera was perhaps incompatible if it didn't work perfectly with the FCAM and AUX inputs...

hgupta

I can't remember exactly, but I think mine has constant power, and the canbus detects reverse and switches the video. A hard reboot is a pain on these, but will rule out any other issues.

I did have to get a replacement unit from Seicane, and with the replacement, I did put IQ Navi on it immediately. Everything worked right out of the box without any adjustments. I have no other signal wire attached. Are other canbus features working (steering wheel controls, track number on dash)?

nodoors

That is helpful, thank you. Yes, all other CANbus features seem to be working. Dashboard cluster shows info, the steering wheel controls are good, etc.

What is the easiest way to hard reset it?

Not looking forward to backing up and restoring everything just to see if it will activate the camera, but after all the effort it only makes sense to go the extra mile. I guess this is the price we pay for chinese electronics with no manual or support. Buyers beware that you are in for a few headaches and headscratchers on these things. I am glad we have a small group here to discuss the particular nuances of the cayenne and installing this system or it would be quite frustrating.

At this point I can't count how many times I have removed and replaced this thing to get everything working properly, LOL.

hgupta

Hard reset was simply unplugging the power from the back, waiting, and the plugging it back in. It doesn't erase anything so you don't have to worry about backing up everything.
