Title: Clarion NZ503 system not seeing the Javelina tank monitors
Post by: cdm on July 25, 2017, 03:34:03 pm
I am installing Clarion NZ503 to replace the Blaupunkt in my 2005 U270. I have the rear view camera working, as well as AM/FM., and the XM radio  I can not get the Javelina tank monitors  to work on the auxiliary video connections. I have the parking brake wire from the unit connected to a hot, positive feed as instructed. I know the Javelina tank monitors are working because I can switch to a temporary monitor I have been using. I have read and re-read the installation manual. I must be missing something. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Mine just plugged in and worked.. different head unit.. try putting in on the rear camera feed and see if it shows.. if it does the aux plug your using might not be compatible

The Javelina tank monitor does display on The Clarion if I plug into the rear camera connection coming out of the back of the Clarion. If I switch the tank feed over to either of the other yellow video cables coming out of the back of the Clarion, it does not show on any of the available screens. On the Clarion display, there is Aux 1, and Aux 2, I get nothing on either. They read "Audio Only".
Did you run the wire for the Parking Brake direct to the plus side of the parking brake or did you run it to a full hot positive post somewhere? I ran to a full hot positive post.
Thank you
