Backup Camera Question

Hello,

I have a 2007 S550. I was given a backup camera with dash camera kit for free from my brother, so I decided to try it out. When I hook it up like he instructions say to my reverse light, the reverse camera only stays on for a few seconds and then changes back. It keeps doing this until the car is out of reverse. Is there a better place to wire it?

Thanks

I would try a relay and not a direct wire option. The relay takes the connection to kick on a full power supply to the lead. Might work better to help you resolve this. Could be any number of issues, so this could also not work.
