When I installed one on wife car it was doing the same thing as yours. I checked all the wires and it turned out to be a pinch RCA video cable. After I fixed that it work like a champ. Make sure you don't have a pinch video cable.

Also for anyone who cares it was a Pioneer camera model ND-BC4 and has been a great camera for over a year. Day and night its clear, bright and easy to see. I used it to replace one of those cheap brands from ebay after it failed in 6 months. I highly recommend the pioneer ND-BC4 to everyone. It will not disappoint!

So you are saying I should have not used the green/purple wire from the GMOS and just ran a wire from the reverse lights (green wire) straight up to the head unit's purple wire?
yes
the GMOS revere wire does not work
so you have to go to the green on reverse lights

Figures...they should give away these GMOS setups away for free for all the trouble they cause.

They work fine as long as you know how to wire them.

They work fine if you avoid and bypass all the non working parts of them!

What is the issue with the dimmer? I haven't noticed if I have a problem there or not.

You might want to check and see if key for hatch on fob will still work.After I installed my backup camera the key in fob would hit camera and not allow it to turn far enough.
