I recently purchased the PAC RP4-MZ11 interface to connect a Pioneer AVH-Z5050BT double din stereo in my Mazda CX9 2009 model. Everything is working fine except for one issue with the reverse camera.
I have wired an aftermarket reverse camera to the Pioneer unit and the camera is working fine. The camera is powered by the reverse lamp from the rear. But when i put my car in reverse gear the display does not automatically show the camera input. The camera is wired correctly because when i "manually" switch the Pioneer unit's display to reverse camera input I can see the camera input in the display, but not automatically when i put the car in reverse.
I have checked the wiring of the PAC interface; I have connected the green wire (reverse output +) from the PAC interface to the Purple/white wire on the Pioneer harness (which is the reverse signal input wire). All the setting on the Pioneer are fine; i have tried various combinations but cant get this to work.
what could be wrong? How can i verify that the PAC module is indeed provided a reverse signal on the green wire?
What are the alternative solutions to this? Should I connect the purple/white wire of the Pioneer to the positive signal from the reversing lamp?
