  • RC6 blue led on controller blinking rapidly after yellow wire grounded

    As per title, all connections are ok and checked. Software has been updated. Recording does not follow the on off switching anymore. Even with yellow wire connected to ground, rear camera stays warm for extended period

    Hi Frank,
    The yellow wire should not be connected to the ground.
    The yellow wire must be connected to a switched power source—in other words, a wire that receives power when the ignition is turned on and loses power when the ignition is turned off.

      Hi Hans,

      Let me explain: the yellow wire is connected to a switch. This switch is connected one side to the battery (direct) and the other side to ground. So I would expect that when the yellow wire get’s the battery tension, the unit switches on and when the yellow wire is connected to ground, the unit switches off. What I see now is the following: switch is on battery tension: unit switches on but recording does strange things: recording not starting, random recording, etc. When switch is on ground position: blue led on controller is blinking rapidly. The power supply of the unit (red wire) is connected to the same battery.
