I've only had mine in a week, but that's happened twice. I think it's a start/stop hiccup as well. Mine is powered from the footwell on INT2.
What is the benefit?
I'm hoping it'll cut down on glare and secondary reflections. It feels like I see everything but the image in some conditions. $7? worth the gamble.
The zip tie trick did the job. Thanks!
Of course AFTER I already paid full price. That always happens to me. Anyone reading this thread, I promise you that you will not be disappointed in this product. I won’t say the absolute best product I purchased for my Grenny’s, but top 2 for sure. Not only does it give you a nice clear rear view camera as a mirror, it records in case of an accident and the other driver lies saying they had the green light, also does some security recording when vehicle is off, etc etc. it’s not just a rear view camera. Please don’t ask me about these features, I know about them but I’m not smart enough to go into detail explaining them. I know my limits!!!
Maybe 10% of the time my G900 does not power on when I start my vehicle, or it will power on then turn off again within 30 seconds. Completely random. No correlation to auto start/stop for me. I can cycle the power and the mirror will then turn on.I finally caught it today turning off -- it's a start/stop hiccup. It goes off when the engine goes off, and does not come back on when auto start re-starts the engine. And, it's intermittent.
To anyone - Is there a way to wire up/power the camera to bypass the start/stop issue? I'm all ears/eyes. Installing this camera is on my electrical to do list and I'm almost to it.I finally caught it today turning off -- it's a start/stop hiccup. It goes off when the engine goes off, and does not come back on when auto start re-starts the engine. And, it's intermittent.
First I have to admit I am not knowledgeable in wiring/installing really anything like these. My limitation is plugging an electrical item into a socket in the house, then I’m done. So I have to hire people to do this for mine. So hats off to all of you that install these yourself. It is what it is. But I have had my G900 for some time and never had it go off with the auto start/stop or any other reason. My install guy has it directly wired into the fuse box and turns on when I start the vehicle and off when I turn off the vehicle and works the whole time driving. I love these things. Is this a normal issue people are having with these? I’ve been a huge proponent for them in other posts and honestly didn’t know of these issues. Or is this just a small number of owners that maybe wired incorrectly or have bad connections?
I've only done this once when I forgot to disable start/stop, but it worked: I flipped the INT2 switch to off, gave it about a 5 count, then flipped it back on and the mirror turned on.I finally caught it today turning off -- it's a start/stop hiccup.

All good! Please take some pics showing how yours is wired into the fuse box. Thanks! I and others are more than happy to stand on the shoulders of giants.
Man if you have seen any of my posted pics of the blue Grenadier I have (I have two, the other is Queen’s red and it’s completely stock), the blue one is over the top with accessories. I literally added every single one I could. Yea I know! But I do love how it came out. The pics on here are older as wasn’t finished all the way yet, so this weekend I plan on taking new ones. Anyway, I’m TRYING to get to the point I promise. It has just as much inside as out (Owl rail system with all kinds of goodies—cb radio, phone charger, 2nd auxiliary panel light switch because the ones we have in our Grenny’s weren’t enough to handle all the lights I ended up putting on, take that in!!!
, plus so much more stuff). Sooooo the fuse boxes are like rats nests with tons of extra wires everywhere and I was told by my installer not to mess with his work (I.e. open it up and let it fall out as he will have to charge me more $$ to come fix it). Thus, I am not opening any fuse box, but i will take some inside pics when I update my pics of “Ole Blue” (got to name your rides right?) and post some afterwards.
