Hi Bruss.

The control box basically just takes 12v and supplies the camera 5v then takes the camera feed and outputs it on the 5/6 pin connector.

If the pioneer has a power feed for reversing cameras you can take the box out, otherwise you'll need it.

 

@grog I've installed a Pioneer SPH-DA230DAB but I get no picture at all (switches to rev camera input and displays parking lines - but black screen). From what you say above it should work then? 

Does the control box not receive the camera feed on the 5/6 pin connector and then send it to the HU via the yellow RCA socket marked V OUT ?

I understand that the camera is NTSC (have tried all formats though!)?

Am about to lash up a bullet camera I have to hand and try it with another Pioneer HU so as to have a known good test unit.

Yes, the control box sends power to the camera, and sends the video signal out on the yellow RCA.
