[QUOTE="AppleBonker, post: 4136037, member: 573302"] Ok, small update. I've realized that the video kicks out (I guess to explain better, it's not video kicking out but the whole screen - like I said on any source, even just the iPod) more often when I'm hitting the brakes or using my turn signal. Not sure why this would be doing this. I know I tapped into the reverse lights correctly, because the camera comes on when I throw it in reverse. This is making me think it's not the unit, because an external stimulus is causing the screen to go black. What else could I have messed up to cause this? Everything else functions perfectly (including the video bypass and the steering wheel controls). Any thoughts? I guess I'll mess with it more tomorrow and try to figure it out. Maybe I'll cut the reverse light wire running to the head unit to see if this fixes it (although this will temporarily kill the automatic switch to the camera when I'm in reverse). But it will at least let me know if this could be the source of the problem. [/QUOTE]
