I have a 2006 mega cab. I installed the BOSS 850 with Maerstro Rr along with R-CH2 wiring harness. The radio/backup camera works fine but when I turn on the fog lights the backup camera comes on at the same time. When I go into radio settings to turn off the backup camera, the fog lights still work. What do you think is triggering the camera to come on? I trouble shot the wiring diagram and am stumped.

I’m right there with you. Same setup in a 2006 with a BV 800 ACP and all other hardware is the same that I’m using. Fogs turn on the camera. I’m troubleshooting now… I also lost function to my rear door speakers. Have you had any luck yet?

I found a fix for the fog lamp switch turning on the reverse camera. I called the tech support line with Maestro 866-427-2999 and spoke with Chris. We tried quite a few different firmware options and finally found one that worked. He had to manually upload it into my Weblink profile. Firmware ADS-RR(SR)-CHR02-AS (512) V3.0 resolved the fog light switch turning on the reverse camera.

I am still trying to figure out my rear door speakers... they work with the stock head unit, but will not work with the Boss unit. I've talked with Maestro, Crutchfield and also Boss and have multiple different answers. Does your truck have the factory Infinity amp in it?.. mine does.
