Hello,
I did Search and couldn't find anything.
By the end of June Im going to ad a Back up Camera and Video to my radio. When I bought the xB in February I had the upgraded Alpine touch screen installed a long with the custom fit bazooka sub.
Now the Owners Manual for the radio, says that I can enable a Back up Camera, and also that I can watch videos while connected to the AUX jack.
When I tried yesterday sound only came out, no picture.
I guess there are 2 options here
Option 1:
This is what I was thinking out doing. the back of my radio only has one yellow (video) jack. So i was going to buy the Yellow RCA splitter and connect the back up camera to the one side and connect the Video RCA cable to the other side. Do you think this will work? In the Manual, it doesn't say anything about the car being in park.
Option 2:
Optomize Scion Has a Alpine Video Input Kit, that Im not sure if I have this already since I have the Upgraded Alpine Radio... Ive tried to call the install people at Scion about this but no one returns my phone calls from there
But it says that "allows the installation of a Back Up Camera as well as allow the connection of an external Video Source (iPod Video playback requires optional showTIME interface kit), which can be displayed on the screen when the 2010 xB or xD when equipped with the 2010 Alpine Premium Audio! (optional upgrade Audio Unit)."
(Optomize Scion)
So if i have that Alpine Video Input kit I should be good or no? I guess I should really find out first and go from there... Sorry that this is so long, and I hope it makes sense.
Thanks in advance for the info and or help
Theresa
