Backup cam issue

[Auce]

Sony XAV - AX150 head unit.

I recently installed the above head unit in my car, everything works as it should except the rear view camera does not come on when the car is put into reverse even though it's wired correctly to the reverse trigger wire. The camera comes on when the camera button on the screen is touched. I've also tried using the normal camera set up under settings. This is not a new backup cam install. I had it previously wired in and a small monitor mounted on the dash. Prior to the new head unit, the cam worked perfectly when I put in reverse, which leads me to think the wiring should still be correct. Any insight or suggestions is appreciated.

It sounds like you don't have the reverse trigger connected correctly. Did you connect the reverse signal to the Purple/ White striped wire on the head unit?

I can't be certain Skull, honestly don't remember, Id have to take it back apart, but this seems to be the consensus.

If nothing else verify the trigger wire is getting 12v when in reverse. Sometimes when moving things around connections come loose. As a possible thought.
