would it help if I connected the camera straight up to the reverse lights in the harness connected to the tail lights? The display in the mirror never comes on so maybe the mirror display isnt getting power

Sounds like your problem is in the mirror. If you have a small portable TV hook up the Camera's video RCA to it to make sure you are getting video.

If it's an aftermarket camera system, yes. You purchased it.

My LCD mirror has a power button just for the display Sometimes it can be turned off when adjusting the mirror.

I understand. I'm just not a fan of aftermarket electronics. Too many bad experiences.

I turned in a '10 coupe to get the factory camera (and the soft top).
I'd have had fewer problems if I had gone your route with the '10 and an add-on camera, rather than the Pandora's Box Convertible.


tramtwo's suggestion sounds good. Maybe it's just turned off.
