Rear view cam backwards??

Alright im confused this can't be how they are normally ok so theres a shovel on the left (drivers side of my truck) but on the cam it is on the right. Everthing is backwards i flipped it everyway possible when everything is upside down it shows so the shovel is on the right side but everything is upside down???
What could this be???

 

Sober up a bit and look again? LOL

Have no clue bud. Hope you figure it out. I would like to install one myself.

 

so its suppose to be a backwards mirror image so if theres a tree on ur left and u crank it to the right ur gonna nail it?
I just cant get use to it i cant back anything up with it.

 

Some rear view systems have a tiny switch setting for mirror or surveillance. I work on postal vehicles and there is a tiny switch that you flip with the tip of a pen on the back of the monitors which are installed in the trucks. Not sure what you're working with though.

 

move the shovel to the other side. problem fixed. =)

 

i have a kenwood 5120 HU

 

If you turned your head around and looked out the back of the truck which side would the shovel be on? The right side. The camera displays the same image you would see if you turned your head around to back up. Makes sense to me.

Now if the ground is on the top and the sky is on the bottom in your camera view I'd say you have a problem.

Haha you're probably one of those people that thinks a bit too much and gets confused by the old double-sided DVDs that have wide-screen on one side and standard on the other. Do you put the wide-screen side down knowing thats how the disk is read? Or do you put the label side up thinking most people don't know how DVD players work? Its okay...I'm one of them too.

 

alright say i put the shovel on the left side in my truck i turn my head around and look its on the left side but on the monitor it views it on the right side. Thats whats confusing me.
nah im usually pretty good with this stuff because im a cable technician and im only 22yrs old so im not like my father who knows nothing about electronics or doesnt want to know lol

 

Ok...I think I get what you're saying but I want to be clear.

You put your shovel on the DRIVER's side of the truck bed. You turn around and physically look at it and it is of course still on the DRIVER'S side of the truck bed.

Your rearview camera shows that the shovel is on the PASSENGER side of the truck. Is this all correct? If you look at a sign through the rearview camera, are the letters reversed? They should be if what I described matches what you're getting out of your camera. In which case I have no idea whats the cause could be...

 

i am SO confused

 

if you put your shovel on the left side of your truck, turn around, and it's still on the left, somethings wrong..

 

If thats what he's got then everything is fine since thats the exact same thing you see if you physically turned your head around to look out the back of the truck right?

Major confusion here...if thats not what you're seeing RDAY I think some pics would be in order. And we want proof that your shovel doesn't have legs!

 

x2

 

yeap!

 

you should take your truck back immediately..it has teleporting powers!! you do NOT want to be responsible for the outcome of this...

 

not sure which way your explaning it but on kenwood HU's they have an option in the headunit itself to reverse the image if you want to.
