I'm tired of not seeing anything when backing up to a parking spot and I bet so do you. Here's a guide on how I hooked up my rear view camera and routed the wires into my Sony XAV-AX3000!

I just want you to know that this guide was extremely helpful. I installed this camera yesterday and it took a reasonable amount of time to follow all your steps. Could have shown the wiring just a little more clearly but otherwise a solid tutorial. It was like having an experienced friend working on the car with me. Thanks man
Hey man, Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad that it helped you. And I'll admit that I rushed through the wiring explanation! I'll revisit it in the near future since it's technically not done yet. Cheers!
Thank you for this detailed video, it really helped a newbie to cars like me. I bought a salvage title 2015 370z that was already mostly fixed up.. however I knew I had a lot of work ahead of me. I am learning more about cars, and am adamant on doing every repair/upgrade myself. The backup camera is the third thing I added to my 370z, and I was able to get it installed and working first try after watching you! Getting the dash/center console apart was some work haha, but your other video on that helped a lot. Will definitely come back to your channel to continue learning for future upgrades. :D

I'm glad this video helped you, Emily! Let me tell ya, i didn't know anything about cars until 2015 so it's never too late to learn and do things. The back up camera is a convenient mod for sure!
Feel free to ask if you have any questions in the future!
FYI, the wire you want to tap into is the orange wire for reverse, and not the red wire (which is the taillight on during night wire).
Greetings from AB 🇨🇦. Great video, so I helpful I found some of these interior pieces were not even reinstalled properly from the previous owner. Really, really helpful. I’m using the AUX function on the nav screen but I’ll take it. Thank you.
Thanks man! I'm glad you found the video. 🤙
Good in-depth video bro!
Thanks man! I tried 😅
what radio unit is this...??????
This is a Sony XAVAX3000. I believe this unit is discontinued and successes into XAVAX3250
Good video bro 😎
Thanks for watching! 😬
Just approved your post in the 370z owners group on FB. I’ve been needing this for a while now. What would you wire the camera to if you wanted it to have constant power?
I appreciate it man! I'll update this in the future but I would run a longer power wire from the camera along with the video wire an hook it up with the headunit's power and negative
@@ItsEricVenzon Did you ever make an update video, or figure out how to have the camera turned on even when you're not engaging reverse?
@@ThatRedNismo I haven't had the time because I changed my headunit. But to make the camera on all the time is to tap the reverse wire from the camera (rear) to accessory which would be along way from the back. That's my hypothesis.
Quick question- does anyone ever just go through the middle? The center console? I feel like that would be easier. I know you'd have to go past the stick, but when I gutted the car from all the excess wires when I first got it a few months ago, the dude before me had wires running past it on either side. I haven't taken apart the trunk enough to know if there's access to the back of the center to know tho, maybe that's why? Otherwise I feel like it might be faster and less work. Totally guessing here and just looking for the lazy way.
Hey man, great question! I actually thought of that at first but upon researching on how to take apart the center section, it's actually more time consuming to pass through wires through the middle. You would have to remove both sides of the interior to get the middle part off. ✌🏼
@@ItsEricVenzon ahhhhh ok. Honestly I keep starting to do this project and stopping. There's already a backup camera license plate frame wired in, but I don't think I can plug it into the head unit I installed. I may at least be able to follow the wires of the old one to wire the new one, but the new one is from this absurdly massive 12 inch screen from Alibaba I put in with 0 instructions. Maybe I'll give it another shot cause it looks like this one is wired the same exact way you did it, running along the driver side.
I'm back, with my trunk apart, attempting to put this camera in AGAIN for like the 12th time LOL this time I've actually taken the tail light off so I'm already much further than I was before haha...this car tho... literally zero visibility when backing up. I can't take it anymore. Half the time when I'm backing out of a parking space I just kind of hold my breath and hope for the best lol
@@ItsEricVenzon ugh I'm bout to blow you up again sorry lol... at 4:30 you tapped the appropriate wire- which wire? When I took my tail light off and followed the bulb, it's a green and black wire... Did you tap in somewhere else to a some red wire I'm unaware of further down the line? Because it looks difficult to tap into this green wire there isn't much room
@@SwazNasty Haha it's all good. I'm here to help. I totally missed to point out which wire it was! My bad! As far as I remembered, it was the green/mint/teal wire. You will have to pull down or open up the sleeve/tape that's wrapping all of the wires and that's how I managed to wire tap it. I will upload an updated video this spring because I still need to hook up the headunit properly 😁
Great tutorial Eric! Would you happen to know if this camera can be install to the factory navigation system?
Thanks, man! I don't think so? You might need to double-check if the headunit has a video input.
Hey Eric I watched your head unit installation right how did you wire the usb from the head unit to the female usb u found in the arm rest I need help
Hey man. The USB cable is actually built in the headunit. Check your headunit's manufacturer if it comes with USB connectivity first ✌🏼
Nice tutorial video!! I have a couple questions. Where did you tap in the power and ground to? And the red wire connected to the yellow rca cable, that goes to the reverse light correct?
Thanks man! Power and ground from the camera side: tail light reverse and ground.
I know this is old, but shouldn't you connect the reverse from the head unit to your reverse yellow cable from your Z?
I'm not sure what you're referring to but my back up camera has been working for years now.
Hey, how are your Firestone tires? I have Bridgestone Potenza’s would you recommend the Firestones?
Hey! Thanks for checking in. My Firestones are doing fine right now, great in dry, good in light rain. I haven't tried it on heavy rain. I haven't considered Potenza but last time I checked that they're basically the same company.
I’m thinking to get some Continental DWS I live in Washington so hopefully they work well with the weather and grip!
@@xlegendxftw1427 Oh they definitely should man!
I’m having an issue with this. I installed everything but the image is flipped. Not really sure what to do
Check your head unit settings, or the item listing (wherever you bought it) to see if it's flipped image cameras or if they have a wire for flipped image (because sometimes they have those)
@@ItsEricVenzon hmmm let me look. The head unit didn’t seem to have any adjustment settings. It’s the same one you bought
@@joen9 interesting. What about the camera?
@@ItsEricVenzon nothing that flips the image. Only like color settings and stuff. It’s weird though. It flips the right way if you tap the camera. I’m thinking it’s a wiring issue
@@joen9 oh boy. What's your headunit model?
Hey bro! quick question. I’ve done everything up until running the video wire from where the interior fuse box is to the back of the head unit. How did you manage to get it up and over?
Thanks!
The back of the headunit has an empty space on both sides to pass through any wires. Just feed the wires up to the back of the driver dash and catch it from the back of the head unit. I hope it makes sense! Feel free to message me on Instagram for a photo reference. 🤙🏼
@@ItsEricVenzon I’m gonna sound like a lunatic but I managed to wire it UPWARDS from the pedals 😭😂 got it above the steering wheel in a trough with other wires, then fed it through this small opening on the back left side of the head unit. My neck hurts, but it’s DONE
@@mkezar4530 that works too! And yeah, i hate working inside the cabin, it's horrendous but I'm glad you got them routed,
Bro does the wide screen rear view mirror help? Been debating that piece too 🤔
Honestly, i feel it does. You have more surface area to see stuff but mostly inside and not the visibility outside. It's wide enough to see your rear and a blind spot. 👌🏼
Nice bro. What’s the exact model of the headunit you installed and how is it so far?
Thanks man! It's a Sony XAV-AX3000 and I installed it on this video: ua-cam.com/video/aWbTAGTzb8M/v-deo.html
The headunit is intuitive, not a whole lot of confusion features and it works how you think it should work. No complaints at all!
Thanks bro. Planning on getting this on my Z. Hopefully I don’t break anything. Lol
@@titoleokusinero1253 You're welcome! Feel free to hit me up with questions when installing it. It's always nerve wracking doing sht like this lol
Do you have a link to buy the camera for us
☝It's in the description.
@@ItsEricVenzon The link doesn't work anymore.
@@Pollojr_ my bad. It expired. DM me on insta and I'll find you a similar one.
Everything was going great until wiring to the taili lights 😭 believe me I tried understanding the diagram but I am so bad at reading them 😅😂
😂 I'll update this one this year. DM me at my Instagram: @its.ericvenzon
@@ItsEricVenzon it's ok just wanting to let you know people like me who don't understand diagrams tend to want an easier route, which is why you make videos...to make it easy for slow people like me 😅 I prefer lettering instead of a diagram pic ...for example: camera red wire splices into tail light blue wire and camera black wire splices into tail light black wire 😅
Overall yes, your video is probably the best video out there so I am still watching it while doing this upgrade on mine 💪💪 just wanting to let you know 😀 I actually found a link to the wiring lol
What I did tho, instead of passing the wire through the trim I passed it through the weather strip up the the back seat and through the driver side center console :) thanks for the vid 💪💪💪
@@hiimappy haha okay i understand now. I just hope you got them buttoned up properly. I've taken apart the interior hatch maybe 10 times already and I hate it. 😅
Nice 👌
