Reverse Camera Not Working After Install

Are you using the extra patch cable we have on the kit? If yes, please see how to wire the patch cable below:

Orange & Black Cable - connect the orange and black cable to the main 20-pin plug harness.

Black Cable - connect the black GND cable coming off the grey 6-pin plug harness that also has the purple CAM IN RCA cable on it.

Red Cable - connect the red cable to the main 20-pin plug harness.

Factory USB Ports Not Working

Use the USB retention cable included in the kit. Simply plug one end of this cable into the factory USB plug in your vehicle, and then plug the other end into one of the USB inputs on the back of the head unit. This allows the factory USB port to function normally with the new system. No extra power wires (ACC/GND) are required.

Patch Cable Doesn’t Have Any Compatible Plugs from Car’s Side?

We will have to send you a different cable kit. Reach out to us on our support channels so we can assist.

No Sound on Rockford System

Please make sure the system is set to Mode 2 under Type and Model Set.

  1. On your head unit, go to Apps.

  2. Scroll to the end and open the app called Control Setting.

  3. Scroll to the bottom, find Mode Type, and select Type 2.

Sorting the Reverse Camera Issue

  • Head Unit Screen's Flashing On and Off

  • Reverse Camera Behaving Strangely

  • Intermittent Signal When Shifting Into Reverse

1. Locate the CANBUS Plugs

Behind the head unit, you’ll find two small SM plugs coming from the CANBUS decoder — they’ll usually be disconnected by default.

2. Identify the SM Plugs on the Main Connectors

Check the main 20-pin connector and the large white plug that connects to the vehicle’s factory wiring. Each of these will have its own SM plug.

3. Connect the SM Plugs Properly

Take the SM plugs from the 20-pin connector and the white plug, and plug them into the two SM plugs coming from the CANBUS decoder.

4.Test Your System

Turn on the car and test the reverse camera and screen.

If you’ve received the cable kit and the SM plugs are already connected to the CANBUS but you’re still having issues with the reverse camera, try the opposite approach: Bypass the CANBUS by directly connecting the SM plug from the main 20-pin connector to the SM plug from the white plug.

Fixing the Steering Wheel Control Issue

If you're experiencing issues with the steering wheel controls (SWC) on your head unit, this guide will help you resolve the problem. Even though the head unit is equipped with a CANBUS, this specific model relies on key lines for SWC data rather than using CANBUS for the steering controls.

1. Re-learn the SWC on the head unit. See the video guide below:

  1. If Step 1 didn't work, swap the Key Lines:

  • Start by plugging the Key 1 wire into the designated port for SWC.

  • Test your steering wheel controls to see if they function correctly.

  • If the controls do not work, unplug the Key 1 wire and try connecting the Key 2 wire to the same port.
