The manual is just a piece of paper.  I will scan it.

But brightness, contrast etc are all on the menu button !

Seriously, yes, menu brings up brightness, contrast, colour and maybe even volume. The mode button lets you swap from mirror view to turning round view and even lets you stand on your head.

Some versions have touch buttons on the right hand side which are more convenient than the remote.

What the manual does NOT tell you is that the monitor has a memory.  It always remembers where it was when the ignition was switched off which can be a real pain.  So you reverse into a space or onto the pitch, apply the handbrake, switch off the ignition and then put the van in neutral. Later, you start the engine to drive away and are surprised that the monitor is on, even though you have driven off forwards without engaging reverse.  By this time you are in traffic and need to fumble for the remote to switch the monitor off. If you remember to shift into neutral BEFORE cutting the ignition then the monitor starts off blank as normal.

So, if that happens to you, it is not a fault.

BTW  A/S started to use no button monitors because the buttoned type were prone to interfere with radios.

How did you put the improved image into the post?

We use it as a rear view mirror so it works when going forward.  After Marquis rewired it with two feeds it goes off when you select reverse and the comes back on using the reversing light feed.  If you just want a reversing camera you could just take the power from the reversing light feed.

But presumably you can edit HIS post because you are staff?

I can do the same thing by pasting the link into his quote on my reply but cannot add it into his post.

Have a 2015 Symbol and the reversing camera has an opaque image on it which I cant seem to get rid of.  Does anyone have any ideas how I can get the proper image back.  Have tried the remote but no success.   Lyn

I like to use the camera when towing motorbikes on trailer to check every thing is secure. Unfortunately fumbling for the remote and trying to hit the right button on a slow to respond device in not really possible / safe while driving. A simple button on the side of the mirror would be so much easier. They are within reach after all.

Is this the mirror that is fitted to the new van conversions ?  And if so can it be set to be on all the time with the ignition on?  That's how I want it on the new Kingham.

You have a 2015 van.  Does the monitor have some kind of protector over the screen which has not been removed? Or are you seeing the reflection from the half-silvered screen - they are designed to work as a rear view mirror as well as a monitor.  When I use mine as a full time on camera I have to tilt the monitor down so that I cannot see the mirror image out of the rear window of the van.
