    Question for those with a Kenwood Excelon HU and using the front camera input. My Kenwood model is DMX957XR and using the Natika camera.

    Has anyone experienced a brief camera interruption when the vehicle starts moving? Typically at slow speeds. I have the interruption for the front camera turned off. There doesn’t appear to be any other settings to change. Kind of annoying, but not a problem. Besides that functions exactly they way I intended.

    I have found how to correct the issue, "Maestro setting"
    Let me know if you haven't found the solution.

    I left the Smart Parking enabled, which turns the front camera on only after coming out of reverse for a designated speed you set under that tab.
    Turned off the low-speed trigger, and the problem with the camera turning on at every stop sign and red-light was gone. Don't know how many times I missed this in the menu setting.
    Guessing you have a Maestro controller with the head unit?

    Geez, that was easy. Thank you! To be honest, that setting is buried. My radio menu was slightly different up to the "camera settings" picture but I was able to find it. Smart Park was off, but low speed was turned on. Again, thank you.

    Awesome!, took a few phone calls myself to find the solution, Kenwood first and the iData Maestro folks, got lucky and the phone was answered by a great technician. The menu was not obvious on my end as well, missed the scroll-down feature to get to those menu items.
