    Hello, the problem is that I connected the reversing camera everything is ok but I can not find a contact on the radio rt3 that after turning the reverse gear the image will be shown automatically. The second problem I noticed is that when I reverse slowly it is ok when I start driving a little faster this cam turns off.

    Write where you got the current for the camera and what kind of radio it is.

    I took the current from the wire that is connected to the reversing bulb, the radio is RT3 short red cable that I connected with the power supply at the back. woke up the video on the radio automatically after throwing back.

    For me, everything is ok, if I switch the radio manually to the video option, it is about what I read, you need to connect this red cable (the one next to cincz) to the radio in a place that will wake up the video after throwing it back, even when I listen to music or use the navigation .

    I don't know much about such schemes if the radio had numbered pins, maybe I would have invented something. I added pictures, so you can help which pin on this radio is responsible for automatically waking up the webcam

    This is a photo cube from RT4, not RT3.

    Not RT3 but RT3eV - this is the first RT4 projection.

    Ok, I will check again. In that case, will you help which pin is responsible for it?

    The 407 never had a rear view camera, just like RT3 and RT4 never had such a function. To connect the camera you have to go a little bit around. From the description, it appears that you have an RT4 system and the screen turns off after exceeding 5km / h. You must change this scripting protection first. It will be harder to turn on the camera after throwing back.

    So the same in the so-called I won't make a garage? Would the car electronics manage it or where should I look for help?

    However, this is RT3. I just don't understand why there is no optical fiber in the picture with the connector. RT3 also had a limiter turning off the video after exceeding 5km / h but here you can not turn it off with scripts. You could have the old version of PP200 or hardware. In the film you can see that the camera turns on automatically after throwing back, so I conclude that someone has already changed the installation and in this conversion should look for defects.

    Hello, I have an rt3 in Peugeot 307, I sent the screen for processing, the camera turns on after turning on backwards but the image is black and white and the top of the image is a little cut and is at the bottom, turning on the camera through the menu causes the image is colorful, maybe someone already had problem??? camera purchased on aliexpres

    Hello! I have exactly the same. Did someone solve this problem?

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around issues with the Peugeot 407's RT3 radio system and its integration with a reversing camera. The user reports that while the camera activates when the reverse gear is engaged, it fails to display the image automatically on the radio. Additionally, the camera turns off when the vehicle exceeds a certain speed. Various users suggest checking the wiring connections, specifically the red cable linked to the radio, and mention that the RT3 system may not support automatic camera activation without modifications. Some users indicate that the RT4 system has similar limitations, including a speed-related video cutoff. The conversation also touches on the need for potential scripting changes to enable the camera functionality at higher speeds.

FAQ

TL;DR: RT3/RT4 video cuts off above 5 km/h, and “The 407 never had a rear view camera.” Auto reverse-camera needs a retrofit trigger and possibly scripting or hardware changes; this FAQ shows wiring, limits, and fixes. [Elektroda, zi.ko, post #17228951]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps Peugeot 407/RT3 owners fix auto-activation and speed-cutoff issues when adding an aftermarket reversing camera.

Quick-Facts

Quick Facts

How do I make my Peugeot 407 RT3 show the camera automatically when I select reverse?

Use the red trigger wire next to the RCA from your camera interface. Feed it with the reverse-light signal so the screen auto-wakes to video. Then verify it switches even when audio or navigation is active. How-To:
  1. Tap reverse light wire for trigger.
  2. Connect to the short red wire near the RCA.
  3. Test auto-switch in reverse. [Elektroda, hubert17042, post #17219878]

Why does the image cut out when I start moving?

The system disables video above about 5 km/h. That built-in limit makes the image vanish as you roll forward. On RT4-type setups, people bypass it via scripting changes. This limit is the primary cause of the symptom you described. [Elektroda, zi.ko, post #17228951]

Can I disable the 5 km/h video limit on RT3?

RT3 also has the 5 km/h limiter, but you cannot turn it off with scripts. “RT3 also had a limiter... but here you can not turn it off with scripts.” Hardware or diagnostic-tool approaches may differ by version. [Elektroda, zi.ko, post #17233995]

Does the Peugeot 407 or RT3/RT4 support a factory reverse camera?

No. “The 407 never had a rear view camera, just like RT3 and RT4 never had such a function.” You must retrofit and route triggers externally. “To connect the camera you have to go a little bit around.” [Elektroda, zi.ko, post #17228951]

Which pin on the RT3 head unit triggers the camera input?

There is no dedicated factory camera-trigger pin on RT3/RT4. These units lack native camera support. Use a retrofit interface with a red trigger lead tied to the reverse signal instead. That is why pin-mapping requests go unanswered. [Elektroda, zi.ko, post #17228951]

My unit says RT3, but someone says it’s RT3eV/RT4. What’s the difference?

RT3eV is described as the first RT4 projection. That can change connector expectations and pinouts. If your photo shows an RT4-style cube, plan wiring accordingly. Confirm the hardware generation before choosing a harness. [Elektroda, SZYMON BYDGOSZCZ, post #17227559]

Is it normal that my RT3 photo shows no optical fiber in the connector?

A member noted RT3 usually includes fiber, and questioned its absence. That suggests a variant or prior modification. Inspect the installation for earlier conversions. Verify every adapter in the chain before blaming the camera. [Elektroda, zi.ko, post #17233995]

Can a regular garage handle this, or do I need an auto‑electronics specialist?

Because there’s no OEM camera input, you need scripting or hardware workarounds. An auto‑electronics specialist familiar with PSA retrofits is recommended. Ask for experience with RT3/RT4 video enabling and reverse triggers. This avoids chasing wiring that cannot work natively. [Elektroda, zi.ko, post #17228951]

Why is my auto-triggered image black-and-white and shifted, but color via the menu?

One user saw B/W and a shifted frame after a screen modification, yet color when enabled via menu. That points to differences in the auto-trigger path or processing. Recheck the modified screen’s input mode and the trigger interface. Verify the camera and harness involved in the auto-activation chain. [Elektroda, damian2988, post #17260738]

Can I power the camera from the reverse bulb circuit?

Yes, users tap the reverse-light wire to power the camera and feed the trigger. That supports auto activation when selecting reverse. If images drop while moving, the 5 km/h head-unit limit is the cause, not camera power. Stabilize wiring to avoid noise. [Elektroda, hubert17042, post #17219878]

I saw a video where the camera turns on automatically in reverse. Why not mine?

A member concluded that car had a modified installation to enable auto switching. If yours does not, inspect the conversion harness and trigger feed. Confirm the red trigger wire receives the reverse signal at the interface. [Elektroda, zi.ko, post #17233995]

Where can I find connection instructions for this retrofit?

A participant shared a link to a guide with connection details. Review that referenced thread for wiring steps and diagrams. Match your unit (RT3 vs RT3eV/RT4) before applying any pinout. The shared resource was cited as sufficient. [Elektroda, actin, post #17221547]
