Thanks, I don't think so though. It seems like when I plugged the module in and did a system reset the XM was "grayed out" no longer when I first installed it. You should be able to access it in order to see that Check antenna screen and get the Serial number for the unit when you are activating the service as I recall.
I will try unplugging and replugging it to see.

Here's how you get to the demo mode (for offroad use only, of course):
Hit Menu-Settings-"Next"
Press/hold at the top center of the screen for 5-10 seconds.
Menu should pop up that says "Brake Override On-Off".
Choose "Brake Override - On"

As far as the Sirius tuner issue - the only reason it would be greyed out is if it wasn't plugged in - try unplugging it, then plug it in again and check to make sure the male plug is all the way seated.

I'm about to install my Advent system and picked up this tailgate camera:
http://tailgatecamera.com/products/f...back-up-camera

It has a red wire next to the video input that is supposed to tell the head unit when to switch to reverse camera. The other end (by the camera) is hooked to the reverse wire and also powers the camera.

Advent has an "instant on" for reverse camera. Does that mean the use of the red lead (by the video output) isn't needed?

Thanks!

I bought my BU camera with the Advent. It is the Ford emblem camera. On it's setup, I could either get the trigger on power at the rear or in the cab. I tapped the center wire in the 7-pin trailer socket. The red wire in the cab I taped off since it was not needed. I am guessing it is the same for you. Use one or the other but not both.

Thanks, good info. Any idea what the blue wire is behind the radio? I found some articles calling it the "camera trigger". I hooked it up to the red wire, hoping it would power the camera...which I don't think it is. Do you know if the blue wire is a +12v source or is it an input from reverse light tap from the trailer socket?

My camera is different. With that in mind, The only thing I did was tap the center wire on the 7-pin trailer connector with the red wire, connect the video wire to the camera in the back of the truck. I taped off the other end of the red wire in the cab. I grounded the black wire in the cab and plugged the yellow RCA to the Advent. That is it. The was no blue wire. For me, the trigger wire was the center wire of the trailer connector.

Blue wires are usually amp/power antenna turn on. Use a tester to find out if it has power

For anyone that has hooked up the factory backup camera. How's your picture quality?
Mine is very grainy and has some interference lines. I have double checked the splices RCA connection and routing the RCA cable differently with no change at all.

Mine is a little grainy but not bad. Can definitely see what is behind me. No lines for me.

Thanks for the reply.
I can see everything as well but not as clear as the mirror view.
Also the black dashes in the middle have ghost images.
