There could be a couple of things happening here:
1) When the Auto is selected, the TV can turn off the lights in the daylight and;
2) if the DRL (Daytime Running Lights) are on, this may be a reduced voltage depending on a number of factors ie: make, model, year, etc...
The Camera runs off the
12V DC supply from the TV and is wired into the rear marker lights closest to the camera.
These lights get their power from the TV when the circuit is energized. If your marker lights are on, your camera will get its needed power.
Auto mode will vary based on the vehicle but simply turn on the parking lights in the TV to get power to the camera for backing purposes or leave the parking light switch turned on if you want to use your camera when cruising down the highway. I tried this once and found it too distracting.
