Re: Replace monitor for rear camera and audit

I "bench tested"the new radio by connecting the reversing camera to the video out of our DVD player and it works.  Also confirmed the video in port worked via the Aux application by doing the same.  Finally got back to the coach today to give connecting the Android single DIN radio another try..  After connecting everything, I still got nothing. I spent a hour of connecting and testing before checking for power at the rocker switch.  No voltage! Then it dawned on me that the "salesman" switch was off.  The radio worked, but was not getting a signal from the Audit computer because it was not getting power.  Big d'oh.

Now that there was power, I was able to get both the rear camera and the Audit output to display on the new screen, but both images are reversed.  Checked it on both the Aux application and the reversing camera input.

Is there anyway to flip the output from Audit?  I know some new cameras have a switch that flips the image.

While connecting/disconnecting the BNC connector from the Audit video out, I noticed the Javelina monitor image would clear up.  When the connector is tight, the image gets wavy, but if it is loose, it is almost perfect.  Wondering if I just need to replace the BNC connector....at least as a short term solution until I replace Audit or come up with another solution.

Ditto for SeeLevel system.  Also installed monitors in bathroom and wet bay.

Ditto for backup camera solution using existing wiring.  Previous owner somewhere along the line installed a wireless backup camera.  It works most of the time but occasionally loses its wireless signal so will soon be replacing with a wired system.

But, rather than install in the dash...as most are...I've grown fond of having the monitor mounted below the overhead cabinets in about the same place the backup mirror is in your car.  After so many years of looking in the "spot" for the rearview mirror I have found it works perfectly not only for backing, but most importantly, while driving.  While driving I use the two side mirrors and the "backup camera"...just like in the car.  I'll post pictures when the new install is complete.
