I wonder if someone could shed some light on this there's a friend of mine who is replacing his reversing camera. He has fitted one but its in black and white so asked me to have a look he assures me its a pal camera as this was the first question I asked and on the box it does say pal. But by it appearing in black and white it would appear it's ntsc and when I go into the hidden menu on the touchscreen stereo and switch the test mode to ntsc it displays perfect picture in colour. Am I correct in thinking if was the other way round ie a ntsc head unit and pal camera nothing would display at all?

It's a 2005 touchscreen Ffrr

Thanks in advance. [/u] The difference between theory and reality is that in theory it will work.

funny that, my 03 shows PAL and NTSC on the screen settings for the tv, my camera supports both..... but only works on NTSC  If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

Yer it's weird I can't find a way of forcing it to stay in ntsc mode I'm guessing it can't be done on touch screen cars?

Thanks The difference between theory and reality is that in theory it will work.

It's definitely NTSC as I tested the connections with a PAL home surveillance camera and the image was B/W...

Thanks adara, does this mean that the touchscreen cars need a ntsc camera or is it just the earlier none touch screen ones that are ntsc?

Thanks The difference between theory and reality is that in theory it will work.

Mine is touchscreen and it still needs NTSC. But it's easy to test through the 753 secret menu...

I've done the test through the 753 menu. He has ordered another camera in ntsc format. Will let you know how we get on fitting it over the weekend.

Thanks Again The difference between theory and reality is that in theory it will work.

The reverse cam is opposite to what the TV input is , this is to stop you feeding TV in to the screen while in motion using the reverse cam input

Thanks for all the input. Problem solved and a ntsc camera has been fitted and is now working. Just to let anyone else know that needs to swap there's. The difference between theory and reality is that in theory it will work.
