- Опубліковано 8 тра 2022
- We're finally installing the optional reverse camera that comes with the iDoing 9" Android headunit! There were a few hiccups, but we got it working! The routing and most of the wiring will apply to almost any aftermarket backup camera and radio. Check out the results if you're on the fence!
Be sure to watch for a little surprise we have coming up!

I may be wrong but doesn’t that look like the exact size of either of the license plate lights? It just seems odd to me that they would have that big rectangular piece holding it in when other kits for reverse camera is just the camera and much smaller profile.
awesome video, i ordered a headunit and a camera. hopefully it goes smoothly. thanks!!
Thank you! As long as you’re careful and pay attention to where everything goes, you should be fine! Good luck!
This was helpful, thank you for posting.
Thanks for watching! And thanks for the kind words!
you could have easily replaced it with the licence plate light. idoing or other sellers sell that and honestly it doesnt affect the camera either. at night it improves the quality actually
What if you cut a rectangular cut-out to hide the chunky block on top of the camera so that it only shows the black part/camera... It'd be a huge hole but would look super discrete and clean imo. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! And that’s definitely a good suggestion. I had actually thought about that or possibly separating the camera from the base and finding a mounting plate with a smaller footprint. Honestly, if the generic camera looks this good, a nice aftermarket like an Alpine or a Kenwood will probably blow me away. That’s probably the route I’ll go since those both have more discrete mounting plates!
The camera mount is supposed to replace the left hand reversing number plate light.
How is it holding up? I just installed mine. Already having issues… it doesn’t turn on, it did before I reinstalled all the panels, now I can’t figure out the issue. Everything seems plugged in and wired properly…
might use this video for later on in my school year since my brother took mine of for no reason at all but it was his car untill he blew the engine, so now its mine if i fix it wrx 2010 wrx impreza premium btw thanks have a great day
Do you have to tap into a reverse cable?
I have 2 line when i put the reverse ,do you know how to delete one?
I mounted my camera under the wing of my hatch under the third brake light. Works well in that position. You had mentioned adding an on/off switch to activate the camera when not in reverse, I’m going to do this mod. I didn’t see a plug and play option for this, is there one? I was going to tap it in from a constant power source, I was thinking the clock display, and connect to the same “reverse in” lead on the back of the head unit.
Great thinking on the positioning of the camera! I definitely think I’m going to swap out the camera for a lo-pro option. The constant on option is really nice and it’s something I’ve had in my newer vehicles. I actually haven’t looked for a PNP option, but it would be easy enough to do with raw materials. I’m not sure what I would tap into, but the clock display is close enough to the head unit and seems just as good as any!
anybody know, why my backup screen is black and white? it works fine but it’s black and white. help are much appreciated
I thought the camera would be replacing one of the rear license plate lights by the looks of it. Is that not the case?
I definitely could have gone that route, however I replaced my license plate lights with full Diode Dynamics replacements. I didn’t think the light supplied with the backup camera would have matched or been bright enough. Since I don’t plan to keep that particular camera long term, I mounted it separately.
Yeah that's definitely what that camera does replace your licenses plate light one of the I had it on my 2013 wrx I have a sadan his licenses plate lights look different than mine maybe it doesn't fit
Any suggestions on why mine is in black in white? Same head unit/camera and same car
Did you ever figure it out? I'm having the same issue.
You need to go in factory settings and change TVI to AHD ON. The password for that should be either 3368 or 1818
i purchased the idoing package with the backup camera and isntalled the back up cam but the image appears in only black and white. do you have any idea why?
Go to settings, select “factory”, input password (mine is 3368), select “sing video format”, turn on “TVI”.
@@adamb.4750 Thanks man! Hadn't tried going in there yet because I wasn't sure of the password but it worked!
I have 2 line when I putt the reverse ahah do you know how to delete one?
Can't you use the build in mic from the car to the radio?

The camera is supposed to replace one of the license plate lights..............
bruhhh they make a license plate light with a reverse camera for your car. Can't believe you cut into your car lol
I understand that’s a license plate light, however I had purchased a set of the Diode License plate lights and the color doesn’t quite match (OCD). I’ll be replacing the camera with a more compact option. I only made a few holes in a piece of plastic that no one will ever see. It doesn’t bother me all that much now that it’s done, but if you don’t like drilling or cutting then the tag light option is the route to go.
