Thank you! I have watched several videos about installing backup cameras and this is the only one suggesting powering the camera from accessory power. Exactly what I was looking for, and this is not the first time I have found what I was looking for on your channel, so you have a new sub here!
Great tutorial but this might be worth pointing out. Some license plate style units now have bright LEDs that activate when power is delivered to the camera at night. So, if you are constantly powering that kind of a camera those bright LEDs will be on even if you are not in reverse gear. Might be worth considering. Correct me if I am wrong. -Merv Himself
Can't figure this part out... What did you do with the black wire that the instructions wanted tapped into the reverse light? You capped off the red, but it looks like the black is still dangling.
I connected everything as per the video as I connected the red "power" wire to the "back up" lights. I did that, because the "back up" lights only get power when the car is put into "reverse." Since I only want my rear view camera to work when my car is in "reverse," I thought that this is the logical way to do it. Well, I am getting a "No Video Signal" message on a black screen! Any advice?
I just need to clarify. So you splice the power wire on the camera to the 12v switched power on the radio harness and you connect the purple wire to the reverse light 12v wire? That's how I understood it. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks for this video. You helped me get through some mental blocks I had regarding running power and how to hide the cord. I was able to install a new Pioneer AVH-211EX and a BOYO backup camera in my 2004 Honda Pilot and everything works great.
Hey...Yu did a awesome job with explaining what exactly is going on and why in this video man this is the best I have seen being that I really didn't get what I needed out of it Yu really did a awesome job man!!!🎉
So I suspect that since there is power going to the camera at all times when ACC is on, this means that I will not be able to do this wiring method on a camera that is equipped with lights, eg. eRapta ERT01? Correct?
I just hooked up my eRAPTA camera to acc.. wondering if I should do it the more "traditional" way since the light is on all the time... what did you end up doing?
@@hybridmotion I'm just hooked up directly to the reverse light power. There's no way to hook it up to acc without the lights being on all the time... unfortunately. You would need a different camera without lights.
Hi everyone. I have a doubt regarding the camera trigger cable and the red piggy tail for accessories added to the front harness. The camera trigger cable added that goes forward will be connected to positive cable at the car's back reverse light and will be connected to the purple(Pioneer/NEX) wire of the radio's harness . Now that piece of red cable added will be connected to the red piggy cable added to the accessory cable in the bundle please confirm don't want to blow my new toy. Thanks
So the issue I’m having is my backup camera works fine when I put the truck into reverse with the truck not running, but when I start my truck and put it into reverse the camera doesn’t switch over. Any ideas as to why? I am using a 14ga wire for my reverse switch wire would that matter?
Hey Dean and Fernando, I have already connected the cam using the reverse light as a power source. Now, I want continuous power so I can use the "cam view" feature as you described. Can I just tap into the accessory wire behind the Pioneer and splice it to the red cam wire (near the rca male)? Of course the red cam wire is already connected to the reverse gear wire off the Pioneer currently. Will this accomplish my goal? Thanks for all the awesome video over the years!
WhyI didn’t watch this video BEFORE, installing the camera ! Now I only have power to the camera when I’m in reverse not being able to set parking assistant ....... thanks a lot
I have the same issue, just had these guys install a pioneer dmh 2500 radio and a back up camera in my Buick lucerne, now the park assist won’t even turn on! Charged me a arm and leg for them to mess my car up, I was pissed
By tapping into ACC for power, doesn't that mean turning the key on also triggers the camera? I have to close out the camera when turning my car on before even getting in reverse. Is that right?
So you did not connect the red power wire to the backup lights because you found a backup power wire up front. What if you can't? Then do you keep the power wire in the back (instead of cutting it off) tap into the reverse lights, and then connect the red power wire up front (with the RCA) to the radio trigger wire? Thanks. (Love your videos!)
If you have a pioneer nex radio, connect the camera power wire to the acc. wire and run another wire from the taillight or reverse trigger of the car to the reverse trigger on the back of the radio. Then in the menu setting turn on the camera if it’s not already on
Great video but I have a question. I've installed a Kenwood DMX7706 with the Maestro RR. There is a purple/white wire coming off of the radio and one coming from the RR. Do I hook both of them up to the trigger wire from the lights or just the one from the back of the radio?
Did you figure it out? I’m hooking a boyo up to the same radio. I can make the camera work as intended on reverse but I’m stumped on the other manual method I’m doing something wrong. Not sure why he says not to use the red in the rear but then turns around and runs a reverse light wire.
TY SOOOO MUCH. I have an 02 ram 1500 slt and if yk anything about this truck it's half 2nd gen half 3rd gen... Spent the whole day hunting for the right wire to connect for yhe reverse switch and such... Basically I said fk it and now have it connected via the 1 positive from the tail light. All I wanted. I think your way is awesome, but I am NOT retapping every wire I just tried in the cab.
Help! back up camera doesn't work. The Eonon GA2185 head unit doesn't recognize there is a backup camera. When I put the car in reverse, and nothing happens. I followed the instructions and watched all the videos on UA-cam on how to install it. My car is 2006 Solara. It is frustrated! Please help!
Having trouble installing my Crux license plate rear camera on my 2009 Jeep JK. I watch a few videos including yours and done what they said but the camera does not come on. Any other tips you can suggest?
Hi I have a brand new 2022 Mazda 6 Sedan, which already has a back up camera fitted, however the graphics are crap, can I buy an aftermarket camera and hook it up to my cars existing wiring at the rear of the car for a simple fix? And if so which camera should I look for with the clearest images, and parking guide lines, or this information sent from the head unit n the dash?
I have a 2003 Buick range ever CX configurations and I would like to place a backup camera on the vehicle. What would be the easiest one to install on that vehicle?
Thanks Guys for your time and knowledge! So many you tube videos are done by people that really don't know what they are doing and its clear you do. I spent a long time in the auto repair business and its nice to see someone that's not installing something in their driveway. Its nice to see you have the right tools and knowledge. Its appreciated. And I got a few new ways to do things like using a big modified nylon tie strap as a snake. Ive been using electricians tapes for pulling wires, nice to have options.
So if I did not want to hook it to my reverse then don't use the purple wire and I would have to manually turn the camera on through the stereo right? My Honda has a built in reverse camera built into the i MID, so i wanted to use my stereo for the front camera
It's funny because I've done a few backup cameras but I watched anyway. I enjoy these videos, and I often pick up a new trick or two. Never done learning, thanks guys!!
Thanks for the video!! really appreciate it. On amazon so many of these backup cams get water or fog in them after some time which model do you personally use?
And yet you make something I've done 100 times so interesting.... And i learned something, why you put bullet connectors on which wire. Makes sense. Great job as always.
That was absolutely brilliant. I've just bought a reverse camera and the instructions on mine aren't that great (my car is a Honda Accord with a built in OEM sat/nav/gps screen). The way you explained the power for the camera at the beginning and under what circumstances you might want to use that red wire cleared my confusion with my unit (that these accessories aren't only for my type of vehicle but for all the others out there too, including aftermarket head units). Thank you soooooo much!
watching your videos are so helpfull.thank you! i was wondering when u came off the live wire to power the camera ,can u run a wifi adapter aswel as the camera off the same lead?
I have been looking for this video for the longest time to be able to view my backup camera and now my front cameras while in motion and still have the backup camera activate in reverse. I have the Pioneer AVIC-W6500NEX. Thought for a moment I needed to add some diodes. Thanks
What do you use to cap of the wires at 2:48 like that? I was looking at wire caps but I only found large ones for home electrical. I notice yours was like the wire size which is what I'm looking for. I'm just not sure if that's what you call them or not.
That shop looks like an old "Al & Ed's Auto Audio I used to work at in Marina Del Rey Cal. (mid 90's) For those with Jeep Grand Cherokee's most from late 80's on up, the Reverse wire in dash is *_White w/ a light green stripe_* under dash, off cluster. then run a relayed 12v supply triggered by the blue/white power antenna wire off radio to camera supply, or for the amp heads, tap off that monster 2 gauge rail thats feeding the Bass-beasts already in the back of your Hoopti Ta-Da!! Its its own voyeur monster viewer
My camera flickers and goes out when I hit the brake otherwise it works perfectly fine. Anyone know why? I have proper frame ground with bare metal and dielectric grease. I have a it powered to the red 12v ignition wire to turn on when I want. The reverse wire is connected under the dash. I also disconnected the reverse wire to troubleshoot and my camera still goes out when I touch the brake.
Thanks for this video. Today I am getting a Sony xav-ax1000 stereo installed in my 2011 Ford Ranger and will be installing a license plate frame backup camera myself next week. Without your video, I would have just spliced the power wire directly to the reverse wire and wondered why the radio's touch screen camera function wasn't working.
You should slow way down firstly. Otherwise, glad that you explained the differences between a 'backup view only' and 'backup available' options. I have a 'parking brake' wire on the back of my radio harness: does this need to be attached?
Sir, just add a backup camera to my 2016 Ram JVC KW-V850BT head unit, your video tutorial really helped me to resolved camera problems. You are a blessing. Keep up the good work!
I have a Saab 9-2x (2005 Subaru Impreza WRX wagon, but the license plate is in the tailgate). Would you recommend putting the camera above the license plate?
The advice on getting through the boot is priceless....I spent 2 hours trying to get through my Grand Cherokee boot until I remembered to use soap (Face in Hands) I had already watched this vid and didn't remember...and although I didn't have a giant sized zip tie...The way the guys looped it makes it much easier. You can't appreciate this stuff until you tangle with it yourself..Great channel ...I stopped getting anything done cause I am always watching!
I'm installing a backup camera on a 1997 Chevy C1500 this weekend. I got a Pioneer camera and an Alpine radio. The camera is an adhesive mount and I was planning on putting it on top of the receiver hitch. Any tips that would be different for a pickup truck like wiring through bed and into the cab? Thanks. Great video
This Video just saved me a huge headache and a ton of stress... Trying to hook up my F-350 with backup camera and this is EXACTLY what I needed!! Thank you so much
I was struggling getting a camera RCA through the boot at the top of the hatch and your technique of soap, pulling the plastic out of the ends of the grommet and pulling the RCA backwards totally helped me out. I wish I'd found the video last night. It would have saved me hours of frustration.
What are your views on Wireless backup Cameras?...and would there be a way if you had a wireless camera to get accessory power at the rear of the vehicle? Other wise I suppose you could run a hot wire from accessory back the the rear of the vehicle, which really negates using a wireless camera....lol
So I have the new 10.1 inch Kenwood how would I have to wire it to view the backup camera at all times the unit has the option to view it so do I wire it regularly or do I have to constantly have power to it
If the camera is powered by accessory power is the power on it when accessory power is on if so will that shorten the life of the camera or is the camera on only on when triggered by reverse trigger and head unit.
I am connecting a TTPS rearview camera to a Super Chips TD2 controller. The TD2 does not have the trigger wire connection. Can you help me with this installation?
So after watching the vid again, I could also run a wire from the reversing lights+ in the boot up to the units Reversing signal wire P/W. Then connect the red pigtail wire to the acc. (also joint the red wires in the boot) Thanks
Nice vid especially with the Pioneer settings! Can you do one with a PAC audio module and factory back up camera retention? I will have to look at my avh-p 4400bh and see how to trigger mine. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Hey thanks for the video. Just a quick question.. When you loomed the wire to run in the roof liner, did you tape(tessa tape) up the loom (like i have seen you before)?
So what would happen if you had the camera on through the menu feature , then put the vehicle into reverse? Other then that question it makes total sense.
Not sure how I didn't find your videos 2 weeks ago when I STARTED installing my new in dash unit with a back up camera, but man, I'm sure glad I found it today. You guys explain this better than any other channel I've watched for this, and I watched A LOT. Why doesn't everybody wire them up the way you do. It makes it SOOOOOO much easier. I've been trying for 2 WEEKS to get mine working. Granted, I complicated mine a bit because I have a previously installed rear view mounted dual dash cam and backup camera that I'm trying to splice together with the indash. I really don't want to lose my front dash cam's recording feature, so if you guys can give me any kind of hints about how to wire them both up together, or if they can't be wired together (which is what I suspect because the rear view mounted dash cam is on the back of that touch screen and I don't think my cheap little indash will support picture in picture), is there a way to wire it so that I will get the rear camera view on both, and then the dash cam would have to still project to the touch screen on the rear view mount. NOBODY has a video even close to telling you how to do that? And the rear view mirror touch screen currently gets it's power from a 12 volt plug, and I have the port that it's plugged into on a kill switch that I switch off when I stop the engine. I KNOW there's a better way to do that.
I have had my vehicle almost a year still can't figure how to program it . just use one radio station anyway its a Pioneer when I back up it has a black screen it says there is a back up camera I found a wire or plug in the glove box and I found a wire or plug under the trunk mat don't have a clue what either of those wires go to. maybe I should just take that pioneer out get another brand with a manual
I have one of the knock off ones its one of the 2 part ones the rear cam has the round hard plastic and only a red wire but no black wire and the wire that goes to the mirror with a head phone jack. How do i hook up to the reverse light if i have to i can do a short vid of wat i have on my channel
I've got an '07 (next gen) Santa Fe- have you all done a camera on one of those? If so, same blue wire coming out of BCM? (Just hoping not to have to run the second wire from the back :) )
in this video u hook the power cable of the back camera on the headunit harness (red cable) , if i want to install a backup and a front camera, can i hook both of their power cable to the red cable of the harness? thanks
It answered enough questions for me to say "Uh, yeah, I'll pay someone else to do it." You explain things very well and I think I'm going to leave this one to the pros.
Thank you! I have watched several videos about installing backup cameras and this is the only one suggesting powering the camera from accessory power. Exactly what I was looking for, and this is not the first time I have found what I was looking for on your channel, so you have a new sub here!

How do I fix that problem I'm having it right now
Yup, don’t do what these guys are recommending. You only want this camera when your in reverse.

Thanks for pointing this out!
1/18/20 and still relevant. Getting ready to install a backup camera in my Jeep WJ with an Alpine iLX-W650. Very clear instructions here. Thanks

With this configuration, if my back up camera has an LED light built in the light would be ON whenever the vehicle is ON??
It will
So I suspect that since there is power going to the camera at all times when ACC is on, this means that I will not be able to do this wiring method on a camera that is equipped with lights, eg. eRapta ERT01? Correct?

probably the best backup camera install video i’ve watched! Very thorough!

When you connect your reverse wire from the camera to acc., how do you turn the camera on when you put the car in reverse? It's already on.
Exactly, its already on, so you shouldnt need to do anything special to see it.
If you have a pioneer nex radio, connect the camera power wire to the acc. wire and run another wire from the taillight or reverse trigger of the car to the reverse trigger on the back of the radio. Then in the menu setting turn on the camera if it’s not already on

Great tutorial for the novice couch tech. Too bad you're not in southern CA. Too many shady shops out here.
Is it possible to wire the backup camera both ways? Wire to activate when put into reverse and activate with the head unit
I love your video's how does that work with the Micr Bypass I'm installing My Pioneer 1300 with backup Cam Thank in advance

So I have the new 10.1 inch Kenwood how would I have to wire it to view the backup camera at all times the unit has the option to view it so do I wire it regularly or do I have to constantly have power to it
Is there a way to "Automatically" see the rearview camera when you're in reverse AND whenever you want to through the controls via head unit?
Absolutlly! This is very professional introduce ! including each details, and good experience during installing !
If the camera is powered by accessory power is the power on it when accessory power is on if so will that shorten the life of the camera or is the camera on only on when triggered by reverse trigger and head unit.
I am connecting a TTPS rearview camera to a Super Chips TD2 controller. The TD2 does not have the trigger wire connection. Can you help me with this installation?
I'm doing a 2014 yukon xl and the video cable is to short what to do?
Thank u for the video, but it will not work with ignition on. Can u help.
Hi ,, with this function the camera stay all the time on or the radio makes on and off? Thank you.
So after watching the vid again, I could also run a wire from the reversing lights+ in the boot up to the units Reversing signal wire P/W. Then connect the red pigtail wire to the acc. (also joint the red wires in the boot) Thanks
I have hooked up my camera and followed your instructions with no power to the camera please help!!
Awesome videos Buddy, thanks for all the help over the years! I sure wish your shop was in SE TX! 😎👍🏻
Pro job all the way.
I have hooked up my camera and followed your instructions with no power to the camera please help!!
Nice vid especially with the Pioneer settings! Can you do one with a PAC audio module and factory back up camera retention? I will have to look at my avh-p 4400bh and see how to trigger mine. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
+Poppa T will do. The Pioneer will have a Purple white wire
Hey thanks for the video. Just a quick question.. When you loomed the wire to run in the roof liner, did you tape(tessa tape) up the loom (like i have seen you before)?
So what would happen if you had the camera on through the menu feature , then put the vehicle into reverse? Other then that question it makes total sense.
Not sure how I didn't find your videos 2 weeks ago when I STARTED installing my new in dash unit with a back up camera, but man, I'm sure glad I found it today. You guys explain this better than any other channel I've watched for this, and I watched A LOT. Why doesn't everybody wire them up the way you do. It makes it SOOOOOO much easier. I've been trying for 2 WEEKS to get mine working. Granted, I complicated mine a bit because I have a previously installed rear view mounted dual dash cam and backup camera that I'm trying to splice together with the indash. I really don't want to lose my front dash cam's recording feature, so if you guys can give me any kind of hints about how to wire them both up together, or if they can't be wired together (which is what I suspect because the rear view mounted dash cam is on the back of that touch screen and I don't think my cheap little indash will support picture in picture), is there a way to wire it so that I will get the rear camera view on both, and then the dash cam would have to still project to the touch screen on the rear view mount. NOBODY has a video even close to telling you how to do that? And the rear view mirror touch screen currently gets it's power from a 12 volt plug, and I have the port that it's plugged into on a kill switch that I switch off when I stop the engine. I KNOW there's a better way to do that.
I have had my vehicle almost a year still can't figure how to program it . just use one radio station anyway its a Pioneer when I back up it has a black screen it says there is a back up camera I found a wire or plug in the glove box and I found a wire or plug under the trunk mat don't have a clue what either of those wires go to. maybe I should just take that pioneer out get another brand with a manual
I have one of the knock off ones its one of the 2 part ones the rear cam has the round hard plastic and only a red wire but no black wire and the wire that goes to the mirror with a head phone jack. How do i hook up to the reverse light if i have to i can do a short vid of wat i have on my channel
I've got an '07 (next gen) Santa Fe- have you all done a camera on one of those? If so, same blue wire coming out of BCM? (Just hoping not to have to run the second wire from the back :) )
If you all were in OR, I'd just have you do it for me!
No questions from me. Now I feel I know enough to fit the back up camera in my new van. Thank you
Good afternoon folks...can you shed some light on how to install a back camera on Alpine VIE-08.
in this video u hook the power cable of the back camera on the headunit harness (red cable) , if i want to install a backup and a front camera, can i hook both of their power cable to the red cable of the harness? thanks
It answered enough questions for me to say "Uh, yeah, I'll pay someone else to do it." You explain things very well and I think I'm going to leave this one to the pros.
Would you recommend this camera? What is the LUX of the Camera?
Haven't seen a license plate camera installed through the bumper. It's like those type of cars don't exist.
Thank you for the great video! It was easy to follow and very helpful!
I have noticed when you guys drill the holes what grommets are you using maybe a link?
Is there a way you can make the picture not show backwards? When I'm backing in a driveway on the screen what's really on my left shows on my right.
Yes most camera have a wire loop at the connector or a button switch on them to do just that.
@@FiveStarCarStereoInc you talking about the wire loop for the lines on the screen?
