Are any of the main brands noted for getting a faster boot time than others? Or is there a certain feature/spec that determines startup time?

Alpine has had the fastest startup time from my experience with the ivaw505. The new inaw900bt is a little slower, but not as slow as the others.

Thanks. Btw, are we talking 2 seconds or 10 seconds for the inaw900bt?

5 sec for the 900bt.
15 sec for the avicz2

Wow, 15 seconds seems slow ... and you're saying that's faster than the other brands.

It seems like most people would already be backing up before their units came on and the backup camera was working.

FWIW, I replaced my HU with a Panasonic double bin DVD with rear view camera.

I get a rear view within 3 seconds of turning on the van. Not a problem.

I have Pioneer AVIC F700BT.

This thing is so slow that I can start the car, back out of my garage and leave the street before the radio will come on, or have a chance to display the rear view camera.

Everything else is good, but the slow start up time almost makes it useless.

I should have previously written that I have a Pioneer P4200 unit with a boyo vtk200 rear camera. Mine is displaying a view within 3 seconds so I know Pioneer can produce a quick unit.

I wonder if there is a problem with your installation
