How can I check if my pioneer camera is working?
Put the car in reverse, make sure the H/U is showing the backup screen, then check the camera’s power (at the camera) to make sure it’s getting 12V. You can also try connecting the camera to constant power instead of switched power temporarily. Some Pioneer head units run a video signal input check when they’re first turned on.
