Default Need help with backup camera [SOLVED]

Installed a cheap ebay backup camera with my pioneer x2600bt today in my 07 JKU. The problem I'm running into is that the camera doesn't automatically come up when I'm in reverse, but works fine when I hit the camera button. I have the power and ground tied into the reverse light on my passenger side. Is there a certain wire I was supposed to tap into with the harness when I installed my head unit? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Page 68 of the manual has the settings for you. Here is a link - Pioneer user manual

Thanks but from what I've found it's not a settings issue, but rather how I have the head unit wired. Trying to figure out which wires to run to and from the head unit to trigger it.


EDIT: to be more specific, I'm looking for a reverse sensor wire to connect to a wire on my PAC harness (I think).

I believe I currently have it wired as: (Pioneer Violet/White - [Reverse Gear Signal Input] >>> PAC Harness Green - [Reverse Output]) So I'm not sure what I would change to make the camera come on automatically.

EDIT:: Solved by reading this thread:
