It sounds like you are using a dedicated backup camera facing forward. Are there reverse settings available on the camera? On AVH-290BT there is no way to reverse the camera image. Other Pioneer in dash receivers offer this feature. Here is a video explaining the operation: ua-cam.com/video/6VY10uChNTI/v-deo.html
Please be more specific with the model number of your Pioneer in-dash receiver. You can usually find the model number on the face of the receiver.

How to get proper video from back camera.? For example a car is on my right but on the screen unit it shows on the left,its too complicated for me..how to fix this?
The Pioneer AVH-290BT is designed to use the Pioneer ND-BC8 backup camera seen here: ua-cam.com/video/kg0IaGC3JbE/v-deo.html The Pioneer ND-BC8 is a reverse image camera designed to be used in rear facing applications like a backup camera with a Pioneer in-dash receiver. It sounds like you are using a forward facing camera in a reverse application. The backwards image is normal operation for the Pioneer AVH-290BT and I'm not aware of a way to flip that image. I'm not aware of a way to remove the warning message from the backup camera window on the in-dash receiver.

You are asking two different questions with two very different solutions. First for DVD playback, you must have the Parking Brake engaged (this might also be called a Hand Brake) in an ON-OFF-ON operation to view DVD video or USB video. If you engage the Parking Brake and still cannot view DVD video, your in-dash receiver may have an incorrect connection for the Green Parking Brake Wire. You can learn more about the Green Parking Brake Wire in this video: ua-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/v-deo.html You can see an example of video playback from USB here: ua-cam.com/video/IQ9pi87S6Cs/v-deo.html Second, let's talk about the camera. Does the camera have power? Is the camera plugged into the Brown RCA jack on the back of the in-dash receiver? You don't want the Yellow, that's video output. You want the Brown RCA input. That's the one for the backup camera. You can see it here: ua-cam.com/video/DPR5RSI2ymk/v-deo.html The camera needs to power on when the vehicle powers on, and it needs to power off when the vehicle powers off. Just because you have the camera powered up, does not mean you are viewing the camera image.

Hi, I bought a vw transporter with this in it and the camera half intstalled so I finished wiring it up , when i turn on the ignition and the system turns on, it automatically shows the camera which is black until i put the van into reverse then the picture comes on, the problem is it stays in camera mode when i come out of reverse into a black screen again, so I have to manually turn it off on the touch screen. and if I go innto reverse again nothing happens, I have to open the camera from the touch screen to see it
The camera should be wired so that it powers up when the vehicle switches on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle switches off. Powering up the camera does not necessarily mean viewing the camera image. If you wire the camera this way, you'll be able to view the camera image by selecting it on the in-dash receiver source screen at any time the vehicle is switched on. The in-dash receiver Purple/White wire is used to let the in-dash receiver know the vehicle is in it's reverse gear and to automatically open the camera window on the in-dash receiver. Do not use the Purple/White wire to power the camera. Do not connect the camera to the Purple/White wire. In many cases Purple/White is connected to the Back Up Lamp.

Pioneer in-dash receivers are designed to work with the Pioneer ND-BC8 backup camera. I don’t know about the operation of other cameras. Be sure to plug the Brown camera output RCA into the Brown RCA Input on the back of the Pioneer in dash receiver. The Pioneer ND-BC8 camera needs power and ground to operate. The camera should always have power when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle is switched off. This is very similar to the way the Red Accessory wire works on a Pioneer in-dash receiver. Just because the camera has power does not mean you are viewing the camera window on the in-dash receiver. The receiver’s violet/white wire is used to let the in-dash receiver know that the vehicle is in it’s reverse gear and, to automatically open the backup camera window on the receiver screen. Do not connect the violet/White wire to the camera. When you put the vehicle in it’s reverse gear, the violet/White wire should sense a change in voltage. This automatically opens the camera window on the in-dash receiver. And closes the camera window, when the vehicle is taken out of it’s reverse gear. One possibly connection for the violet/White Reverse Gear wire is the vehicle’s backup lamp terminal.

I'm not gonna get replied to for like 3 years so I don't even know why I'm attempting to post this question when I'm gonna end up going to car toys and they'll rip me off for something that was simple. WHY IS THERE NO IMAGE ON MY CAMERA VIEW?!?! That is all.
@@deckerdotto6035, sure thing. I bought a pioneer backup camera for my pioneer avh-500ex stereo. The cables included for the camera were the positive, ground and RCA. I plugged the RCA cable into the brown "RC in" Port. Then I took the red cable and crimped it together with the reverse brake purple white cable from the provided radio harness. Then I took the ground and put it on a piece of metal. I turned the camera view on in the settings and tested polarity. When I shift in reverse, it doesn't change to the backup camera. When I attempt to manually view the backup camera, no image is produced, only a black screen with the message, "image may appear reversed". I've heard people say "hook the red wire up to the reverse lights located on the transmission on the car." I don't know what to do cus each car is different with the location of things, diagrams barely help at all because they are so vague. And I really don't want to go to car toys and have them charge me 300 bucks for a wire that was supposed to be crimped to something else.
The problem is in your install. The Pioneer camera should be wired so that it is switched on at all times when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle switches off. The in-dash receiver should do the same thing. You can view the red wire on the camera as the same as the red wire, or ignition wire on the in-dash receiver. The camera having power, and seeing the camera view are two different things. With the camera wired properly, check the Camera view from the home screen. Be sure camera view is switched on in the settings menu. You can see similar operation in a different receiver here: ua-cam.com/video/WY0GLsC3AxE/v-deo.html When you select camera view, you're not switching the camera on. You are only opening the camera window so you can see the camera view. As for the automatic switch to camera view when the vehicle is in reverse. You'll need to properly connect the in-dash receiver's Purple/White wire. More information about the Purple/White wire can be seen here: ua-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/v-deo.html Do not connect Purple/White to the camera. The Purple / White wire let's the in-dash receiver know that the vehicle is in it's reverse gear. This will automatically open the camera window when the vehicle is in reverse and close the camera window when the vehicle is out of the reverse gear. Many people like to wire the purple/white to the vehicle's back up light.

Thanks for the reply@@deckerdotto6035. I was able to get the camera to turn on by touching the red cable on the 12 volt car charger. So, I know it works. I was able to connect it to the reverse lights cable and have it work as well. So now, if I understand correctly, I'll lastly have to connect the purple white wire to a reverse light cable so the stereo knows to switch to the camera view when I'm in reverse. That way I don't have to do it manually every time. My dad and I both scratched our heads at this. Even my sister's husband came in and gave suggestions. Also, I appreciate the professionalism. Im a checker and have to deal with disgruntled guests sometimes. I know better and failed to act as such.

I'd like to help. Can you please clarify the model number? I don't recognize mvh-a200vbt.
Why is it during the day the camera is still showing in night mode.
Please be more specific about your question. What Pioneer in-dash receiver model number do you have? What camera are you using? Are you saying the in-dash receiver dimmer is on?

My camera won’t turn on but it will say the video will appear in reverse or something like that
I just get a black screen
Pioneer in-dash receivers are designed to work with the Pioneer ND-BC8 backup camera. I don’t know about the operation of other cameras.
Be sure to plug the Brown camera output RCA into the Brown RCA Input on the back of the Pioneer in dash receiver.
The Pioneer ND-BC8 camera needs power and ground to operate. The camera should always have power when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle is switched off. This is very similar to the way the Red Accessory wire works on a Pioneer in-dash receiver. Just because the camera has power does not mean you are viewing the camera window on the in-dash receiver.
The receiver’s violet/white wire is used to let the in-dash receiver know that the vehicle is in it’s reverse gear and, to automatically open the backup camera window on the receiver screen.
Do not connect the violet/White wire to the camera.
When you put the vehicle in it’s reverse gear, the violet/White wire should sense a change in voltage. This automatically opens the camera window on the in-dash receiver. And closes the camera window, when the vehicle is taken out of it’s reverse gear. One possibly connection for the violet/White Reverse Gear wire is the vehicle’s backup lamp terminal.

I installed a backup camera but for some reason it stays lit after on while driving not only when triggered on. How can i fix this?
It doesnt switch off
What model of Pioneer in-dash receiver do you have? The model number is usually printed on the face of the in-dash receiver in one of the corners. This sounds like an issue with the installation of the camera and the Purple/White wire. You can find more about wiring Pioneer in-dash receivers here: ua-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/v-deo.html Purple/White is used to tell the in-dash receiver that the vehicle is in it's reverse gear and this will open the camera window. When you take the vehicle out of reverse, the voltage on that wire needs to change so the in-dash receiver know to close the camera window. Do not connect Purple/White to the camera. If you have camera view selected from the home screen, be sure to switch it off.

Hi
Can you tell me why it turns off when I want to start the car? if the engine is off it works when I start the engine goes out ... why?
Are you talking about the in-dash receiver or the camera? Or both? Please be more specific. You can find more videos on Pioneer's You Tube Channel here: ua-cam.com/users/pioneerelectronics
Has anyone ever had a split screen with this pioneer??
I'm not aware of a way to split the screen on a Pioneer AVH-290BT. More modern Pioneer receivers can show a camera image and source information at the same time.

never get this for an 80 yr old mother-in-law. somehow camera works and sometimes not- I'm ready to jump off a bridge :-)

I'm not gonna get replied to for like 3 years so I don't even know why I'm attempting to post this question when I'm gonna end up going to car toys and they'll rip me off for something that was simple.
WHY IS THERE NO IMAGE ON MY CAMERA VIEW?!?!
That is all.
If you can write this question again, this time with no foul language, I will answer your question. This post will be deleted for foul language.
@@deckerdotto6035, sure thing. I bought a pioneer backup camera for my pioneer avh-500ex stereo. The cables included for the camera were the positive, ground and RCA. I plugged the RCA cable into the brown "RC in" Port. Then I took the red cable and crimped it together with the reverse brake purple white cable from the provided radio harness. Then I took the ground and put it on a piece of metal. I turned the camera view on in the settings and tested polarity. When I shift in reverse, it doesn't change to the backup camera. When I attempt to manually view the backup camera, no image is produced, only a black screen with the message, "image may appear reversed". I've heard people say "hook the red wire up to the reverse lights located on the transmission on the car." I don't know what to do cus each car is different with the location of things, diagrams barely help at all because they are so vague. And I really don't want to go to car toys and have them charge me 300 bucks for a wire that was supposed to be crimped to something else.
The problem is in your install. The Pioneer camera should be wired so that it is switched on at all times when the vehicle is switched on. And the camera should power off when the vehicle switches off. The in-dash receiver should do the same thing. You can view the red wire on the camera as the same as the red wire, or ignition wire on the in-dash receiver. The camera having power, and seeing the camera view are two different things. With the camera wired properly, check the Camera view from the home screen. Be sure camera view is switched on in the settings menu. You can see similar operation in a different receiver here: ua-cam.com/video/WY0GLsC3AxE/v-deo.html When you select camera view, you're not switching the camera on. You are only opening the camera window so you can see the camera view. As for the automatic switch to camera view when the vehicle is in reverse. You'll need to properly connect the in-dash receiver's Purple/White wire. More information about the Purple/White wire can be seen here: ua-cam.com/video/-bF3uzzaT30/v-deo.html Do not connect Purple/White to the camera. The Purple / White wire let's the in-dash receiver know that the vehicle is in it's reverse gear. This will automatically open the camera window when the vehicle is in reverse and close the camera window when the vehicle is out of the reverse gear. Many people like to wire the purple/white to the vehicle's back up light.

Thanks for the reply@@deckerdotto6035. I was able to get the camera to turn on by touching the red cable on the 12 volt car charger. So, I know it works. I was able to connect it to the reverse lights cable and have it work as well. So now, if I understand correctly, I'll lastly have to connect the purple white wire to a reverse light cable so the stereo knows to switch to the camera view when I'm in reverse. That way I don't have to do it manually every time.
My dad and I both scratched our heads at this. Even my sister's husband came in and gave suggestions.
Also, I appreciate the professionalism. Im a checker and have to deal with disgruntled guests sometimes. I know better and failed to act as such.
