I installed a wireless back-up camera. Works great, just the cheap $129.00 from pep boys. The camera hooks to the reverse lights and the monitor plugs in to the accessory outlet. PROBLEM: the keyless entry won't work if I leave the monitor on when I get out of the truck. However, it works fine if my cell phone is plugged in to the other accessory outlet and the monitor is on.:confused: Ideas? (besides "turn the monitor off")

Still baffles me. I would say it was frequency related, but the cell phone plugged in baffles me.

Looking at the wiring schematic reference you sent me...what circuit did you connect the blue wire too? Red wire? Ground?
If you can't find anyone who can figure this one out, could you wire it into the RAP circuit, so that when you exit, it turns off by itself?

I would love to wire it to a wire which works off the ignition. The camera is the only thing I wired. Red to the reverse light positive and black to the ground. The monitor just plugs in although I do have the option to hard wire it. It's not a huge deal, just weird.;)
