I have just fitted a (cheap Chinese) rear vision camera to my 306 T9, using WiFi connection. The camera and WiFi transmitter are powered by the reverse light , i.e on when reverse selected. The screen and WiFi receiver are powered from the Cig lighter fuse. i.e. are on when the ignition is on.
1. Turn the ignition on and select reverse - the screen lights up as expected.
2. Start the engine and immediately select reverse, the screen lights up for a couple of seconds and then off.
3. Stop and restart the engine, then select reverse, and no screen at all.
4. If I start the engine and wait several seconds before selecting reverse, still no screen.
I have checked while in step 2 and 3, the reverse camera is on indicated by the little lights, and power is still on the screen.
The screen has a dual video input, and it does not matter which input is used.
The only thing I can think of is that something is interfering with the WiFi signal a few seconds after the engine starts. If so, I may just fit a looong RCA cable.
This is doing my head in - does anyone have any ideas?
