[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8908977, member: 682903"] To be fair, it sounded like you found the problem = the RCA cable is the issue as you said in post #3. Not sure how you determined the cable is the problem for sure. There are so many different backup cameras out there, it is hard to say, I don't even know the model to skim the manual if online. I suppose it could be a cable not shielded very well if it’s cheap, maybe try a different cable, or relocate it as it is running to see if the noise goes away. Also perhaps could be a ground issue of some sort, maybe a ground loop with the cameras ground wire at rear of vehicle and the RCA shield ground at the head unit. If the camera doesn’t pull much power, it may ground fine through just the RCA cables so there is zero ground loop, but I suppose this could damage some head units depending how the RCA shields are grounded internally if the camera draws too much power, though this would avoid a second ground which could possibly cause a noise issue. Maybe hookup one camera at a time to see if problem goes away. Otherwise see if you can contact the camera manufacturer for suggestions. [/QUOTE]
