Default Navtool DIY ?

Alright fellas I've been trying to install a navtool in my car so I can hook up a back up camera. So far I plugged in the plug n play connector, red wire to power, Ground to ground, blue wire from nav. tool to reverse signal. So I got the navtool to turn on ( red light on ) Figured it was working properly, then I installed my camera ( 3 wires ) power and ground to the same connectors as navtool, now the third wire from the camera to reverse light signal.

So here's my problem when I shift into reverse my Nav screen goes black but camera does not display anything, I put it back in park and screen goes back to normal. Does anyone have a navtool installed in the car that could help me out ? Maybe snap some pictures from the connectors to make sure I plugged in everything correctly


Here's a blurry pic I took of the connectors behind Nav ecu. PLZ ignore the wiring, once I figure this out I will solder the wires properly

Thanks for the reply, I've already checked out that thread a couple of times and a couple more with no luck.

This one was a little more helpful but I still would like to get some input from someone with a 2GS to confirm that my wiring is correct before I suspect the Navtool is bad.

I have the NAV-TV installed. Works perfect for my back up camera. I can get some pics for you this weekend if no one beats me to it.

Hey man, after digging down behind my nav and trying to snap pics of the nav-tv unit and wiring......I dont see how I can really get any good pics of the wiring. My unit was installed professionally so I cant really give you any insight on that end. Sorry man.
