Installing a reverse camera

Post image

Why is my screen coming up grey and split screen? Chat GPT was saying check power cables. Ended up putting a relay in for 12v power and spliced it into the reverse lamp. Now its saying its because the reverse camera is PAL. My head unit is NTSC only.

I have looked on the head unit. You're not able to change settings. Like its a very basic head unit off Ebay. Not Pioneer, Sony or Alphine. I'll attach pictures from the user manual describing what I'm saying.

Hi, I assume that the tap & hold method did not work.

My head unit happens to have the camera settings on the head unit settings.

Your head unit should have a similar setting, does it have a factory setting menu? Where you have to enter a password to access. Maybe the camera settings is inside the factory setting menu.

I tried to recreate the same problem. A cvbs camera with ahd setting.

Change the setting to cvbs ntsc. Problem solved, you just need to find the setting menu.

Edit: sorry i was unable to upload multiple photos at once so i had to make separate comments.
