[QUOTE="Rch69, post: 8663630, member: 676105"] Ok, so new amp is installed, works beautifully, and I got my sound back. This new Kenwood M1804 does not have any gain settings what so ever, they were louder than the front door speakers when I first turned on, so I raised gain on the Excelon X301 controlling door speakers and compensated, I’m guessing that’s what’s its there for, to compensate. Ok, so now upon reinstall, my reverse cam does not work. To come clean, Best Buy installed everything to date other than what I did today, and let me tell you, now I understand why to not let them ever touch a vehicle. I am sure there are some awesome Best Buy installers out there, but apparently not where I live. When I got everything out and started looking, everything was hacked up pretty good, and I found a loose hot wire floating around not connected as well. Once I got my bearings and understood what was happening, I decided to clean it up. I used to install professionally 30 yrs ago, so I have somewhat a clue, just didn’t do the original install before because I didn’t understand how to bypass amp, can-bus, steering wheel controls, things have changed, but now I see how it all works. So after noticing reverse cam didn’t work, I started wondering if that positive wire that was hot ignition on had anything to do with it. I back tracked and read that the green wire from the PAC RP4-CH11 harness connects to the reverse wire (violet/white) on the 4400NEX, but I do not see where the signal wire from the reverse lights connect lights, and cannot find one that was ran to the unit, it did work before I messed with. So how did Best Buy have wired with Ignition on wire? Apparently the reverse light wire I need is in kick panel, white/lt green, but where in equation does it connect?
