I installed the DNX891HD in the wife's '10 this weekend. If you have the factory nav the backup camera is in the harness to the radio display. It's pins 3 & 9 on the 12 pin connector that isn't used with the T-harness. it's still brown and brown/yellow. It wasn't coax on her's just two wires.

Maybe 12V can help me out. I installed a DNN991HD in my 2009 F150 along with front and rear cameras I bought from Camera Source. I hooked everything up exactly as instructed but when the camera s engaged all I get is a blank screen. If I touch high center of the screen I get a picture of a car showing front and rear camera angles. If I touch center screen near the bottom I get a box with an X'd out camera in it.
I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd call Kenwood on that one.

On my two camera setup, I access the cameras by holding the audio button. Then touch high center to switch between front and rear. Touch low center to quit camera view.

Did you go to setup and turn on the cameras? One of mine is the factory backup camera, the front is the ultra expensive Kenwwod CMOS 320. They both work as advertised.

Same here. If you go to the setup page then input I think, camera setup and make sure the camera's are turned on. What camera's did you get? Depending on the hookup the wires may be backwards/reversed. Did you use factory made coax cables or make up your own?

I did the set up and both are on. I bought them from camera source and wired them exactly as instructed. As for the cables they are factory. I'm baffled

Wow I'm stumped too then. Did you use the T-harness as well? The only other things I can think of to try is to make sure the parking brake, green I think, from the radio is only grounded. The other is to try with a TV or something and a power supply. Where are you getting power for the cameras at? It may be a blown fuse.

That head unit has at least one other video (yellow RCA) input. Try that as well.

I figured it out and thought I'd share in case anyone else encounters the same problem. It appears that the camera + line coming from the rear of the Kenwood DNN991HD does not supply sufficient voltage to power up the camera. I switched to a different ignition power supply and BAMM they both work. I've only been beating my head on the wall for a week but now all is good.
Merry Christmas

So you swapped it from a radio power line to a back in the dash type power line and that fixed it? Just rephrasing because I'm headed down the same path in the near future...
