    Tried installing the germes lab camera system and I can't get the thing to work. I've got the latest version for entune 3.0 and a natika camera.

    Here's some pics of everything connected, but no picture (front or rear) pops up once the battery is connected and truck is turned on. What am i missing?

    1st attempt used the red wire near the yellow connector.

    2nd attempt used the black and red wires that were bundled closer to the camera.

    His Germes Lab is not the updated one, so his harnesses look different from the one I got. I checked his channel to see if maybe his camera setup was similar to mine, but it looks like he's also using a different Natika camera than the one I got too.

    Have you tested the video output of the Natika camera into a TV with RCA video in? This would confirm if the camera is even working?
    Use the + and - at t camera to power.

    I didn't, but I did get it working though. Turns out dip switch 3 was 'on' instead of 'off', so once i turned it off everything worked out.

    I really like it! I'm short so it really helps when parking nose in somewhere. I don't know if you can disable it, I think there might be a way to shorten the time the camera stays "on" but I never bothered looking into it since I just hit the Mode button to turn it off once I don't need it anymore.

    It's 12mph, not 20. And 30 seconds if I'm not mistaken. The front camera only turns on (automatically) after going into Drive from Reverse. Otherwise you can force it on in Fwd or Rev at any time. I've had mine installed for about 3 years now. Works great :thumbsup:
