Hi all,
When I select rear gear and my rear camera is on, it mutes my music.
Please, does someone know how could I avoid this behavior? I would like to maintain my music on if I select rear gear.
Thank you in advance,
Regards
Depending on which HU you have but ifyou go to Factory settings you can change that on the OTHER menu.

Hi,
I have an "Ashutc Wireless Smartphone Photo RF Remote". Its a bluetooth remote that is supposed to function as a camera button for your phone, so you place your phone on a hard to reach place and then take photos without touching the phone.
Its supposedly compatible with android and iphone, and has two buttons, one for each OS. It pairs with my phone well, but clicking the android shutter button just toggles the flash setting, and clicking the iphone button opens the camera settings.
Does anyone know how I can change what the buttons do, so that I can take pictures?
I'm thinking the Tasker app maybe can be useful with this? But I'm far too clueless about how to use the app and its possibilities.
Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm thinking about buying one of these and re-configuring the buttons for music controls. The small size would make it great to mod into steering wheel music controls for an older car.
Hey there,
I was looking for a similar solution, but with any bluetooth headset.
Got it working via Tasker for any camera app, just have a look here:

Hope I could help. ^^
Did anyone get one else of those fob thingies with their M8 that does the same thing?
Having the same problem with my selfie stick... It toggles the flash instead of taking photo....
Appreciate if someone could help!
My wife's Note 3 has no issue with that...
Hey guys,
I just bought a new unit and have had fun installing/setting it up. But I've run into a few problems/questions that I can not easily solve from searching. I'm hoping for some help. I appreciate any insight that can be provided!
purchased:
MTCB 800x480 (EONON GA2114)
1.) I can't get the reverse camera to work
My previous head unit was the Astroid Parrot Smart and my backkup camera was working. I've setup my MTCB as follows: HU reverse wire to reverse light 12v & HU "cam in" to camera's RCA plug. I'm experiencing: when I put in reverse gear, I get a yellow triangle exclimation point and no proper video. Could this be becuase I have not grounded the HU parking wire (everything else is working properly without having to do that. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change?... pal vs ntsc?
2. ODBD not working correctly.
I can connect to it in bluetooth settings but Torque can not connect to it. I do have blue OBDB icon that appears in the taskbar
3. Keypress (for the physical hardware buttons) volume is too loud
even if I have the radio volume turned all the way down
4. music volume is too loud when volume set at one
With the volume of music at it's lowest setting, it's at a normal listening level.
5. Elements in Settings disappeared
It's just gone. I can't change the physical button colors any more. It was there before.
6. Saved radio stations.
After a scan is complete.... I can't figure out how to reorganize the order of stations.... or even delete the unwanted presets
7. Best way to automate wifi hotspot?
Should I set a tasker action to start hotspot upon bluetooth connect to unit? I sometimes have bluetooth manually turned off though. ... what's everyones solution to this? I though about a NFC sticker placed on my phone dock to automate bluetooth/hotspot.

When you say parking wire I assume you mean park brake wire. The park brake wire has nothing to do with reverse video. It is suppose
to turn off DVD video during driving. Which can be changed in settings BTW. Exclamation point normally means no video. Are you sure
you used the right input and that your camera is providing video? Test your camera on a normal video in and verify if you get a picture.
Also verify that your reverse camera gets 12 volt when selected.
Hi,
I'm new to this, i have an android HU and rear cam installed. Rear cam can only be viewed once you switch to reverse mode. Is there an application that will allow you to view your rear cam even if you are not on reverse mode?
Many thanks for your help.

You have to connect power to the camera so it is powered up all the time. In addition, you will need a video splitter to share the camera's input with the head unit default input and another AVI camera input supported by your stereo.
Then you can switch the AVI input on to see what's going on behind you. This will most likely silence anything playing on your stereo while you're watching the rear camera, but it should let you see what's behind you while you're driving.

i actually had this installed and making any changes in the wiring is something that is beyond my capability, is there an app that will allow you to do it? thank you so much for your help markmorto;73145228
No app (that I know if) will control power to the camera. The issue here depends on how the camera is already powered up. The usual method is to get power from the reverse lights, or the head unit, and only power the camera on when you need to use it. You need to know how it's getting its power first.

I got a weird problem. It's a pumpkin headunit that can with the car I got. It's been working fine ever since I've gotten it. But last night when I was driving the music stopped playing and the rear view camera came on the display while i was on the freeway. Clearly I was not in reverse as I was going forward. It seems like it was doing it when I was just going forward, until I came to a stop then it'll go back to playing music, but then once I got going again it'll display the rear camera on the unit. I wouldn't mind if it kept the music going. None of the buttons are responsive when it is in rear camera view mode.
I've tried a factory reset, it is still doing it. Even today when I the car was not on. I was just setting the radio presets again, low and behold the rear view camera came on but for a few seconds and went away. It is still doing it when the car was off. I'm kind of confused as what the problem is.
Is autopumpkin.com working for anyone also? It doesn't seem like they are in business anymore?
Thanks for reading, and any possible places to look.
Hi, any progres? I have https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/DtwdJIt its px5, Mtce_gs_v2.90c. Now I have a little problem with rear camera. I bought reverse camera and tried to connect it into front camera input(I was curious how it would look like) and since then its stuck on camera view. Even after disconnecting camera. Only solution was disable "prohibit reverse" in factory settings menu, but with "prohibit reverse" disabled is obviously not showing reverse camera when I gear the reverse down. Everything is shown in this video. https://photos.app.goo.gl/XbYUHApzT8qTezkq6
Turns out it was the canbus decoder that has gone haywire. It reads the canbus and checks for the reverse message and turns on the camera. With it unplugged I do not get random rear camera view anymore, but I also lose my steering wheel button to control the unit. I'll see if pumpkin will help me out, my unit is out of warranty.
I have recenlty purchased a few selfie sticks that are rated as being compatible. They all pair successfully with the phone's bluetooth radio. Unfortunatley the remote only functions as a zoom button rather than a shutter button. Am I missing something or are there settings that require adjustment? Alternatively, if there is a tried and tested selfie stick that forum members are aware of then please let me know. I'm in the UK.
Go to your camera settings, shooting methods, then press volume key to - change it to take picture or record video.
