Do you have your reverse wire hooked up?

^^^^ good point. did you tag the right wire????

[scion126]

If I did't tag a right wire,why when I hold the NAV for 2 sec then put to reverse then work fine,if I hold NAV for 2 sec,but no put to reverse camera not work. Is that right?

I thought holding the NAV for 2 seconds brought up the rear view camera independent of gear. No?

yes that is how you turn the cam on w/o putting the car in reverse. you can get the wire behind the seats by the ebrake wire or at one of the rear bulbs. so check where you hooked up the wire and also check the setting on the deck make sure it is set right in the menus

If all else fails, pay a pro. For me it's worth his fee to avoid headaches like the one you've got.

you need to take the purple wire and T-tap it in to one of the reverse light wires.
