Hi all,
I am trying to install the above into an Audi A4 which is a canbus vehicle.
I got everything plugged in and it all looked to be working fine but after 2-3 minutes the unit always switches itself off. I have noticed the Canbus adapter always gets very hot as well just before the unit switches off.
Could I have connected something incorrectly for this behaviour to occur?
Thanks
Please be more specific.
Do you have ISO connectors?
The CanBus module should be allready wired to the comnector. It was not? If no, post the wiring diagram received (maybe you feed 12 V in a 5V input?....).
În order to get help post pictures and more info.
Hi. The fitting kit I have used is the following;
http://caraudiosecurity.com/ctkau02-audi-a4-2002-2006-complete-double-din-facia-kit
The Canbus adapter is plugged in via the attachment to the ISO cable.
Let me know if you need any pictures.
Thanks
I'm sure there is no easy way to find the problem.
I would do the following :
First make sure that all pins in all connectors are firmly in their place (see below the example).
Get correct pinout data for all connectors (Car connectors, HU, the adaptor kit and the CanBus module and also the pinout for the old stereo). When searching for the car connectors pinout make sure you find the correct one (year, model, audio system type, etc).
After having all the data you should search for any mismatch (power instead of data, different voltages, etc).
I recomend this beacuase I bumped in a similar problem with my car. I have a Mazda 6 and for the same model and year the car Hu connector differs for the Bose system version and the non Bose version, and the pinout of the adapter and Hu is not taking in consideration this posibility. Therefore I had to cut and reconnect some wires.
And one more thing : when I installed my Hu, some pins slipped out of their slots inside the connectors and my CanBus module was beep-ing constantly and the Hu was not starting at all. I had to use a very thin metal rod to push them back into position (with the connectors plugged in).
Thanks for your help. It turns out a Parrot bluetooth module was installed at some point and they have a good mess with the wiring and piggubacked onto the cars wiring. I am having to use that to power the unit now as it stops it turning off after 3 minutes. My next problem is that I don't have the steering controls option available in the settings menu. Any idea why?
If you are using CanBus you do not need that menu. The Hu has two 5V out and two inputs. If you have non CanBus Swc you need to take the 5V wire, pass it through your Swc and then to the Hu Swc input (the clasic controls usses resistors with different values for each button that atenuates the 5V from the Hu in different values for each button pressed and the Hu read that value through the swv input). So if your 5V wire and Swc input is not connected, you will not have the menu available. Once connected you must first go to factory menu and define each button (see the user manual))

Thanks. I've attached some pictures to show how the unit is connected to the Canbus adapter.
Key1 5V is connected to its equivalent going to the Canbus adapter.
Key2 5V is as above
GND is as above
Do I have it correct and am I just required to correctly map the buttons now?
Thanks
Still can't get this working.
Should I reset the headunit, update MCU and software or does it look like my wiring is wrong?
Thanks
No one can help you without being there. If you do no have the skills to do it yourself you should go to a electronics service.
As I said, you have to analyze all data. You must get all pin-outs and characteristics for your car.
You must know if your Swc is resistive or Can-bus.
With the car main stereo connectors pinout you will see what you have (resistive Swc, Can-bus wires, external amp signal, etc) and theirs place in the connector.
With the Hu pinout you will know what does the Hu can provide and what pins you should use.
And in your case you have a adapter in the middle, for witch you also need the pinout to make sure that everything is routed correctly.
After you have a clear diagram for your car you must check if fizicaly everything is as it should be.
How to get the pin-outs?
The Hu pinout should be on a sticker on the Hu itself.
For the car connectors you must first decode you vin and get info like year, options, version (usualy a more detailed pinout you find if you search the old stereo pin-out by it's exact make and model).
And for the adapter you must get it from the seller or from the Internet.
You said that before you, someone made modifications to wiring; this is one more reasons to get all informations and make yourself a clear wiring diagram for you to be able to start troubleshooting.
I realy wish I could help more but I can't, and there is nobody else that can give you help without being there to see (otherwise it would allready said sommething)
Best regards!
You CAN get Rear RCA Pre-Outs working with a little wiring mod to the Audio/Video cable!
No need to add extra hardware to have Rear feed to factory, or aftermarket amps!
Recently bought a MTCD Android branded as a Pumpkin RQ0278 Android HU for my 1999 Infiniti Q45 with the Bose 4 channel Factory Amp. Well, the Audio/Video plug that came with it had only Front RCA Pre-Amp Outs. No Rear L, & R Pre-Outs! The Pumpkin support forum sucks, and google searches for other generic unit harnesses was fruitless for me.
So, I took a look at the Audio/Video plug and noticed that not all of the slots in the white plastic plug were populated with wires.
So, look at the plug from the side that the wires are going in. Notice the cavities where the Front Pre-Amp wires are going into the plug. Red wire is Right, and White is Left. The shielding braid is a common ground for both channels, and is tied together under the shrink wrap. Now notice the vacant cavities to the Left of the Front Pre-Amp wires,...These are REAR Pre-Amp connection points!
I just took the RCA cables for the Video Out 1, and 2 plugs (which I will not be using), out of the connector, and used them for the Rear Pre-Outs. Red lead next to Red, and White next to White. Jumpered the shielding over to the Front shielding, and insulated the connections.
Sorry no pictures for this post, but unit is back in car now, and it was a hassle to fit it back into the Infiniti dash, but I now have the factory Amp working on all four channels with functional balance and fader controls working in the radio software!
If you are technically inclined enough to be reading threads in this forum, then you can do this mod, and avoid having to buy extra hardware to get rear RCA Pre-Amp Outputs. Hope this helps someone with a rebranded generic unit that the selling company was too cheap to put the output cables in the plug.

Mate I have the same problem and there are empty slots next to the front RCA outs. How do you add wires to those slots and do you need to configure them through android to act as rear RCA outs? Pictures would help a lot. Thanks in advance.
The Dasaita V600 does not switch on the rear view camera until the multimedia is turned on. the front parking camera displays immediately. the rear parking camera motor does not work until the dasaita v600 main screen is turned on What could be the reason? this is very bad. the car is running, the rear camera does not display images for 35 to 40 seconds until multimedia is turned on. the front parking camera gives the image immediately without waiting. There is no such problem for the multimedia of other brands. I thought of it as a software
Help Me
does every user have the same problem? the park camera will not work to start the car and move back and forth immediately. Wait for 40 seconds to turn on and then move on. this is ridiculous.

Faced this issue on my Dasaita HA2021-V600 but in my case a little work on canbus wires solved the problem.
Looking at connection diagram on top of your head unit you need to search a wire named "Reverse", in my case the wire the nr. 2 in orange color.
This wire in directly connected to canbus box; cut that wire and connect it from head unit side to +12V from reverse lamp.
After that you will see immediatly camera images when you put your car in reverse gear.
Now my turn for a question: what type of front camera are you using and how you have connected it to head unit and which harness you have used?
Hope my suggestion can help you
P.S.: Make that at your risk, im not responsible for whatever damage on your unit with my "mod".

Hello. To attach the front camera to the car, first go to the factory settings. Activate the camera in the last section there. how many secs you want to see. then buy and install any front rear camera.
Place the cable in the D. aux in glass on the device. now the front camera will help you when you leave the back cabin during each parking.
Thanks for your reply, but i dont understand what you said in:

Hi,
I am having quite the same probem with my dasaita.
when I switch to reverse I can only see a black screen with the green guides and a sort of yellow alert.
Can you tell me the color of the +12V reverse lamp wire? did you find it behind the unit or you cought that +12v from the reverse bulb behind the car?
thank you

If you are facing that issue you simply need connect the yellow RCA cable from you rear camera to the right RCA connector in your head unit, you dont need perform any modification on HU wires; that RCA wire is usually labeled CAM-IN or Rear-IN. Check you connection
Also if you connection are OK the camera is not supplied with +12V and you need use the wire that come from the reverse lamp

I tried that already. I think it's a problem with the cables. I contacted the Dasaita Support and suggested to work on 2 pins of the canbus.

Not a probl with canbus. The only problem that canbus can do is "not switching on reverse gear". When you see the yellow "!" mark on screen mean that unit is not receiving video signal from camera.
Try this for checking the camera: connect the yellow RCA cable from reverse camera to AUX-Video IN harness and use AVIN app if you see images the camera is OK if not you need to check camera connections.
Cable 2 from canbus trigger only the "rear view" if the unit is not switch to reverse input.
What are the canbus setting on you factory setting menu? you car is an E46? what type of main connector are you using 17 or 40 pins?

I don't know my car type..it's a Nissan Qashqai
problem solved
problem solved. the original camera was removed and replaced with another camera. electric power was taken as 12v from parking light. As the original camera was 6v and powered from the unit, the rear camera was not working until multimedia was turned on. everything works fine now
Max 6 wrx rear camera
I am having the same issue on my 2018 wrx limited. When I put it in reverse I get the yellow ! Or see a black screen with the guides. If I go to the AV in , I am able to see the reverse camera image. I have the Dasaita Max 6 (px6). Any assistance would be amazing!

I tried that and tried every combination that I could think of with the Various RCA cables - just the yellows, all the rca connections, the different yellows. I think it may in an issue with whatever wire from the car that triggers the camera when it is put in to reverse.... I read somewhere that the harness provided from Dasaita may have an empty pin hole where that wire should be. I am not savvy enough to know. Thanks for taking time to try and assist. Any other tips to try? could this be a voltage issue?

I dont understand this. I also have android PX3, Back camera works as I put in reverse. Connected front camera tu AVIN, settings set to "enable front camera for 15sec after reverse". But I only see black screen.
When Manually open AVIN I see front camera, how do I enable this?

Hi there everybody,
I recently noticed my PX6 unit doesn't see any of the front / rear cameras. With all wires connected the f-cam app shows the orange triangle (no signal) for both front and back cameras. The same happens if I give a 12v signal to the reverse (pink) wire.
I never got to install the backup camera in my car but I did bench tests with a power source and had the cameras working when I first got the unit. Now, a few months later, the cameras simply don't work
I tested with 2 different cameras and also with a DVD player and none worked.
I even opened the unit and checked the motherboard to see if there is a fried circuit or IC...and saw nothing. The video inputs lead to a IC labeled "FMS6502" and the signal gets to it through a 75ohm resistor and a capacitor which both look okay.
What can it be?
Please give me your opinions on this as it drives me crazy !
Thank you!
I would guess your headunit is not providing the 12 volts to both cameras
Hi , I remember your Fcam app requires you to connect your front view camera to your f cam video input and provides thru another lead a 12 volt output in which you can conect the power for both your front and rear camera. If both cameras dont work most possible the radio is not providing the 12 volt output .

What. You've just said, connect the front and rear camera and the +12v feed. The headunit doesn't provide a 12v output for the cameras.
Not surprised at the guess, these topics generally are guessing games.
I'd suggest finding a skilled car audio tech or auto electrician. That's not meant to be an oxymoron, seriously
Hello All,
I have issue with my rear cam.
It is connected via wireless transmitter to the radio.
Here what's strange... When engine is off, ignition on, cam is sending video.
When I switch reverse during engine operation, I can't get any video.
I am sure I have mess up with the connection but do not understand where
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot.
Update... Not for my good.!
All wires connections are good. Theonly differences betwwen cam working/not working is when the engine is on.
So my guess is a weeak power. But i do notknow if it come from the front or tbe back of car.
In front the receiver is connecter to +/-12v of the unit near the canbus.
In the back the transmitter is connected to +/- of the back light and the cam is connected to the transmitter.
So there is two device that need 12v to run connectec to the back light.
Do you thing my truck provide same volt when engine is on or off to the back?
I don't know exactly how to explain this, but i had the same problem.
The issue is the power coming from the light bulb. My guess is that your car has a canbus system, that gives you irregular voltage on the transmitter wire.
I had my camera powered directly from the reverse bulb wires, and it turned off when i started the car.
The solution was to power the camera from another +12v, that wasn't on the canbus line (eveything else except the bulbs). Hope this helps!
Exactly!! I found out that, on my car and many nowadays, rear bulb get power from a source that power also other electrical parts of the vehicule. It is call "multiplexing".
When the engine is off 12v go directly to the rear buld. When engine is on there fluctuations of this power
Advise is or to find another stable 12v source or use direct rca cable with 12v power from the unit.
I will try the rca solution as even less easy than wireless transmitter, video will be better quality.
Thanks to yoir reply
I have the same problem but i am too lazy to search around for another source. As such, i ended up buying the only isolated dc-dc 12v coverter i could find with a decent power rating.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/183722250804
I dont know if it will work yet as i am waiting for the shipment but afaik it should smooth out the signals/noise for a clear picture transmission from the camera.
You need to find another 12v source or use a capacitor on the line from the bulb to gather voltage and give away a straight 12v to the camera .
The other line seems more fine to me.
I got my straight 12v line from the fuse box directly to the camera through a relay so that the camera won't stay on all the time my car is running.
The relay is activated by the reverse lights. When reverse lights on -> current flows through the relay to the camera. Its pretty simple
Hello,
i just bought a dasaita px6 for my 2017 toyota auris with canbus adaptor.
everything works fine, the steering wheel controls, shows me opened doors and so on.
when i shift into the reverse gear the head unit recognizes it, but only shows a yellow triangle with an ! in it. so it gets this signal from the canbus
i tried 2 aftermarked cameras, took the +12v from the reverse bulb for the camera, connected the rca cable with the first VIN from the radio, but nothing. same on the second VIN.
Has anyone an idea whats going wrong there?
Just to be sure, you connected the yellow male RCA cam cable to the female RCA cam in cable, correct? Those are the colours on my RAV4 harness, that solved my problem. Hope that helps
i connected it with a female/female adaptor directly to the bus rca cable. solved the problem by using an extra cable direct to the radio with a female rca

i had the same issue but i forgot you need to connect the yellow cables on the canbus and the harness together, one was marked cam vin . There was male and female connectors which need to be connected together.
It was all working while setting up also works some times, I don't think so an issue with initial setup. But at times when I put reverse gear display switches to show reverae camera with guide lines but instead of video there is a yellow triangle. Please advise
