Subject: I don't have an answer, but by grounding pin 17, your backup Author: sealbeach740 : member since January, 2004 : 7011 posts Posted on: 2007-09-06 02:10:13

camera should show it's video even if your 4x3 was turned off at the time. Grounding pin 17 is supposed to "wake up" your Nav screen, even if it's turned off (it does do this on mine). I don't know why you need to get into TV mode before your backup camera video shows. Sorry.
