Hey there. I recently bought a Pioneer DMH-Z6350BT to install in my 2014 Mazda CX-5.
I've got it hooked up and working with one exception – the unit doesn't automatically switch to the backup cam when I put the car in reverse (my car's an auto). Audio, radio, carplay, steering wheel controls, etc. all working correctly.
I've kept the factory camera and used an AX-MAZCAM-6V to wire it to the head unit.
I can manually activate the "Camera view" on the head unit and it works as expected, so the camera's getting power correctly and I believe that means I've identified the right reverse wire (and hooked it to the purple/white reverse wire of the head unit). When the car's in reverse, the camera view on the unit shows the backup camera footage including the guidance lines. When the car's in any other gear, it's just a black screen.
I've got the backup cam set to "On" in the unit's settings, and set the polarity to "Battery" (although I've also tried changing that to "Ground" and it doesn't make a difference).
Is it possible that the MAZCAM stepping down the voltage is interfering with the head unit detecting the gear change?
Is there anything else I can try to get this working?
