Takes a few seconds for the 8200 to boot up. I have front and rear cameras. Yes, the back up camera will turn on before boot is complete.

Another nice thing about this unit, and I believe all Pioneer Avic Nex models, is that the Pioneer has a "discreet" built in emergency brake bypass feature. I just activated this feature the other day after not being allowed to access some photos on my SD card while I was in motion. It's a one time activation that stays on forever unless you change your car battery and lose all power and/or repeat the steps to turn it off. Here's the steps if anyone is interested,
1- Press the main menu button (bottom center button on my mine)
2- Press AV button on the screen to access AV options
3- Press the source off button
4- Press and hold your finger in the bottom left hand corner for about 10 seconds(about a half inch from bottom and a half inch from left side of the screen, there is no visual icon there, it is a hidden button)
After 10 seconds you will hear a small beep and see a small box appear in the center bottom of screen the says "set on". Procedure is now done and your parking brake is now permanently set to "on" as far as the head unit is concerned.

Reverse Camera
I also went with the 8200nex. I installed this last weekend with a reverse camera, and am super happy with it so far. One of the improvements over the 8100 is that the warning screen goes away on its own in a few seconds without having to press ok. Reverse camera comes on right away too, haven't had to wait to boot up fully. Prices on this unit have been coming down lately also. I've seen them on Amazon for under $800. That's where I got mine.
Torch, thank you for the info. Im getting ready to have the 8200 installed and wondered what reverse camera you went with and where did you locate it.
