    I have a 1st gen aucar Tesla style touch screen radio. I installed it in January 2022. Since then I've installed 2 back up cameras and both show "no video signal" on the screen. Is this common on other radios? Is this aucar blowing the feed? Is it the wire being run under the truck? It's not the ground. It could be the camera or the wire shorting out. But 2 in 12 months.... I don't know.

    What's your opinion?

    I think those cameras use a different voltage than the radio is supplying.

    It's not a factory back up camera though. It's a metra. I think it's 12 volt.

    Don’t think, you need to know. Confirm if it’s 12v or 6v.

    Is "blowing" a technical term?
