Technical Reversing Camera on Android Radio

[baboon99]

Just replaced the head unit on a fiat 500 2013 to an android radio that has the canbus box.
Anyone got the reversing camera to work as connecting it up as the seller suggested does not work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Does the camera light up when reverse is selected?
If you apply 12v to the brown wire, does the display switchover even if blank?
If you try earthing the brown wire( disconnected from the red wire!! ) what happens?
Is there an option to activate the camera feature in the head unit menu, can you confirm that the brown wire IS the video input switching input?
What is the two blue wires near the video input?

Thanks for the reply.
No the camera does not lite up and when I, engage reverse the screen goes black and says no video. Yes you can select the different resolutions in the radio
Thr 2 blue wires dont connect to anything.
Seen on youtube that if can bus box is connected do not connect earth wire at camera end
Will test when a get in from work

The 4 leds on the camera should light up when power is applied in dull conditions ie when reverse is selected check your power feed to the camera? And or the connector in the cable

The four dots on the front of the camera are leds, I have a similar camera.
If the screen switches over but it come up no video and there's no leds on then check your earthing
