2007 escalade aftermarket radio

what I would do in either of you guys case is test the reverse voltage and if that is good then check to see if there is a actual video signal or not, but I have things that accept video input to do that. if you get a black screen on anything else that accepts a composite signal then the camera ccd is probably bad. ccd is a sensor that provides the video it's in every camera out there, it's works like a human eye. or there is a break in the wire somewhere, which you could possibly determine with a ohm test.
and you could do a test on the headunit by feeding it composite video from any source like a videocamera (with 12v applied to the reverse trigger wire)

So even though the oem radio works perfectly, theres still a possibility for the camera to have wiring issues with the after market radio?

Possibly low voltage, low enough to not effect oem but enough to effect the pioneer. I bet the pioneer has tighter specs than the oem deck.
you could always call pioneer tech support and ask
have you ever updated the radio firmware? there should be at least 1 release available since the radio was new that's about all pioneer ever does.
if the pac adapter has usb you could try updating it as well, that would be done via usb and the web browser or there app, the pioneer would be done either via recordable disc or sd card probably has to be like 8gb minimum.

I did update the firmware on the pioneer after this issue started. That didnt solve my issue. The pac i have has no usb. Atleast the one i have.

I hate issues like this. Everything works flawlessly for about 2 years then boom.

they should be able to tell you the voltage/amps needed for the reverse camera image and then you can check it with a meter
that's just a guess though if not they may have other suggestions considering it works with the oem deck.

Do you have an aftermarket head unit and is it pioneer?

It’s a kenwood ddx3
