Great job explaining how to hook up my backup camera . I've searched 6 other UA-camrs and none explained it so clearly as you. Thanks so much . I started install and got stuck on the red wire near camera . And to NOT do what I also wrongly thought was correct , which was the reverse light to the red . You just saved me $90 , $100 , $150 . Those are quoted prices .
I know this is an older video but it saved me from some frustration on my NEX install on my 2018 Nissan Titan. Could not find anything in the manual that came with it that stated that the factory backup camera input was the brown Rca input. Thank you for all the work you two put into sharing your knowledge. Defenitely helps out the DIYer!
Same here with my Frontier, I had it hooked into the yellow video-in on the 1500nex
5 years later and still useful. Have been looking at adding front and rear cams for my Grand Cherokee to make trail driving easier.
I been fighting with this rear camera for 3hrs.. re checking my wiring and my connection.. I had it plugged in in to the yellow video.. Not in the brown output 🤦🏽 U guys Explain very well in detail on all your videos.. Thanks for the 📹 videos
Okay so let me get this straight. I read though most of the comments to make sure it wasn’t already asked and didn’t see it but I’m guessing for the reverse camera to come on when I put the truck in reverse, I tap the red camera wire into the red on the head unit. The black to the negative on my battery and then run a new wire from the purple with a white stripe on the head unit back to the reverse light bulb and tap into that positive wire? And of course the rca goes into the brown rca jack
Really good info on the camera install.
I will be applying that idea in my Super Duty using one camera to show the bed when I hook up to 5th wheel/Goosenecks, while the other to actually reversing mode!
Thanks, Razor!
Razor Works does it force you onto the reverse camera when you're trying to hook up the 5th wheel? I'm looking at installing an ancillary camera on my trailer, for reversing, but don't know if the reverse camera view will override it
Thank you very much. The purple and white wire information was what I was missing from every other install guide trying to hook up my esky backup camera in car.
Great video thanks hopefully now I’ll be able to get my back up camera to work now.
I've got a license plate mount rear camera and it has lights on it. If I take the power wire to the accessory wire of the head unit so it has power when the unit is on, won't the lights on the rear camera always be on? IE: in wiring it the way you mention won't there be constant power to the rear camera?
First off you guys are legit .. I am challenged when it comes to electrical but after one of yur rescue 911 fixes .. Ive decided that I'm not totally doomed lol.. interior panels are far more frustrating as I'm disgusted how many clips n covers I've damaged as I dove into the deepest install that still could use Lil buttoning up but I wish I would of been a subscriber prior but you guys helped me at the end :) so thank you for being the shiz .. btw I own a 09 tts audi and removed factory deck ..bose amp and ran new wires to all mid n highs with aftermarket amp n pushing L7 with a rms fosgate 500 . 720 certified monoblock and coarse a new dbl din so now Bluetooth works with audio instead of just for calling like before and have a screen . Also installed rear camera n removed back up beeping and installed toggle for a shut off to deck just in case but I also added a 2nd battery :) Its so temperamental as if a connection isn't perfect my car goes wacko .. I have it to constant only as I think it's better that way so far as if it's not running and doors shut its constantly beeping at me and appears to drain battery probably cuz of hid lights . But regardless Sitting in car with stereo on without noises is nice. Is this a smart way or ?Sorry about novel.. last thing.. I have a note 10 plus.. mirror linking has been struggle as do I need a special adapter to plug into my soundstream vr651b.. so close to being complete after so much adversity.
Great videos!! I really appreciate your awesome tips! Answered so many questions for me! Now I know what to change and why my backup camera wouldn't work other than in reverse. The BestBuy tech incorrectly wired my backup camera red wire to the reverse switch. Best wishes! Thanks!!!!!
I just install it yesterday night tomorrow I will run the cable for the Camara thank you for that.
I’ve got the purple wire on the stereo .... but where do I find the backup wire from the car to connect it to? Xxx
Great vid. Certain head unit has limited A/V input. I used A/V input for my dynavin miracast unit to cast my smartphone screen (Google map, tuniein, youtube, drivemode, etc) to my A/V input. I used a splitter to auto (when gear is set to "D" or "R") or manual (a physical button) switch between backup cam & front cam on my backup cam input on the kenwood ddx1035 head unit. Anyhow, great vid, keep it going.
Thanks. That sounds very clever. Sweet.
Hi, brilliant video and helped me, I was struggling with the wire set up. I have the pioneer Avic f80 DAB radio but it looks very similar. I love the way you explain things
So what wire do I connect to the reverse signal wire coming from the back of my in dash?
So, sorry I didnt get the connection of the red power wire for rear camera; I have a Pioneer AVH-4100 NEX and a Pioneer ND-BC8 camera; thanks for your series; clear and casual.
Where is the this Purple/White wire that you are referring to? Is there a special harness that is needed? I didnt see that wire at the beginning of the video. Thanks!
Mark Aquiningoc it is located on the main power plug
My red wire from the camera connects to either the purple-white or red accessory wire? in order for me to always see what's on my camera all the time.
Camera red wire to car accessory wire, also red at radio. Purple white goes to reverse light trigger. The camera will turn on in reverse and when selected from menu.
yall are so awesome been watching for a great minute im also an installer and I just love watching yalls videos great help also at times I know this is an older video but its like im always seeing new videos of yall lol go ahead and wrap it up fenando lol
Hello guys ,thanks for what you are doing ,just to make sure that I understood what did you say about connecting the revers purple white wire
Should I connect it to power coming from revers light and connect the ground to the ground and cancel the black and red wire coming with the camera
Thanks
Yes purple white to the reverse light wire
Red from camera to the red accessory wire behind the radio( T connection)
Black from the camera to car ground
Can you show a simplified how to video of how to wire the backup camera for constant power and reverse at the same time? Or post a link? Should i run a power line with my av cord from the radio power to the camera and hook the pigtail from reverse wire at radio to my reverse light?
I just purchased the pioneer dmh1500nex and purchased a back up camera. My problem is everything works but after 10 seconds the screen goes back to black with the timer how do you eliminate the timer while car is on reverse
Hello 👋. I have a pioneer DMH 1500NEX...with the maestro
..question, so the the camera power wire (red) from the camera goes connected to the 12v red wire from the radio or from the purple/white wire??????? Same with the from camera??????
Thanks this was extremely helpful installing my new screen with an aftermarket reverse camera!
ExHaLe Haxz cool, thank you for watching
Hi . My reverse camera was working fine until today ? I have checked the wires at the back of the stereo but they're all still plugged in but the screen is still blacked out ? All other functions on the stereo are working fine
I'm installing a Pioneer 7201nex in a 2012 Ford super duty, Are there adapters to retain the use of the factory Navigation and Sirius antennas?. Do I need an additional Sirius unit?.
Thank You
I've been thinking about buying the AVH 4200NEX as I need two rear cameras, one for my SUV and the other for my camper. Just about every question I have had I was able to answer by watching your videos...great job!! One thing I can't find. While towing, I want to leave the camper rear camera on all of the time to use as a rear view "mirror" while driving. The question is, can I turn off the back up camera on the SUV so it won't come on or switch over when the camper camera is on. If the "always on" camper camera switches off when the SUV is put into reverse, the purpose while towing is defeated for me. Many thanks in advance!
Hi AZ Total Estate Solutions LLC...I too have a cargo trailer and I want to do the same thing as you. I have two ND-BC68 cameras, one mounted on the rear of the towing vehicle that I use to line up the trailer hitch ball, and the other is on the back of the cargo trailer. I mounted the second camera that came with my AVH-4201NEX on the back of the trailer. I want to view the trailer camera while I back up the trailer, BUT I do not want the tow vehicle's (hitch view ) camera to come on automatically when I put the vehicle in reverse. So.... even though I have not yet installed the new head unit, (I will tomorrow) my assumption is that I will choose to NOT use the purple/white striped wire. This way the head unit will NOT switch to either camera when I put the tow vehicle in reverse. I will simply choose the camera that I want to see while driving forward or reverse. This also solves a problem that I had with my previous Pioneer AVH-X2600BT unit where every stinkin time I put it in reverse the camera would come on,,, at night, the display was so bright I hated it. So,,,,, I will reiterate... I am not going to have the reverse "gear shift" automatically turn on any camera. I will choose if I want the camera on,,, and which one. I too was thinking that if I had the trailer connected and wanted to see the trailer's camera that the mere fact of having the vehicle in reverse would block my ability to CHOOSE the "other" camera. I think I have beaten a dead horse here,... but I believe that our choice to NOT use the purple/white wire is our best option. We can then choose what camera we want to see, regardless of whether we are driving forward or reverse. I hope this makes things clear.
So the red wire at the camera goes all the back up and connects with the power at the head unit?
Great vid. What gauge wire should be used to connect the reverse trigger wire? and Is it ok to use a fuse tap to get power from the reverse lights as a trigger instead of tapping into the actual wire? Thanks.
You can use 18 or 22 awg wire. Typically it is easier to tap into the wire, but if you have fuse and it work use it.
Five Star Car Stereo found it. Thanks!
Hey I have a question I bought a camera but the connection is not making good contact and it glitches once in awhile. Is it possible to cut the connection and hardwire them.
I have the pioneer AVIC-5201NEX and I'm wanting to Install 2 blind spot cameras... This install is on 1999 E450 Minnie-Winnie..
Would you guys explain the difference between the battery and ground option for the reverse gear setting? Thanks!
I just purchased a cheap backup camera that has a wider viewing angle and an easier manual adjustment of the camera angle. I have the Pioneer NEX2300 and I tried the new camera but could not get it to work. The old camera still works okay. The new camera has what they say is AHD1080p. Will this work with the Pioneer are will cutting the wire harness and getting CVBS be the way to go? Wish they would have put some other switching option other than cutting the wire harness, but I bought cheap! Also does the NEX2300 have the ability to use the video input for using a front facing camera? It has the receptacle for Video input (yellow) but not the pigtail for a second camera. I also don't have second camera in the settings menu.
So... to be clear. I have a pink wire "back car" essentially what it is called reverse detection wire.
For rear camera power and AV side to back of car, the reverse light + and - goes in right reverse light or just + and other goes to metal ground.
On other end of that cable facing forward of a car, there is a ACC +12v and ACC GND with a blue monitor test 12V wire.
Are you saying that I should connect my ACC 12V to the reversing detection wire, and not using 12V source because other end has reversing light power.
Please clarify. Seicane for Hyundai IX45.
Pioneer has same functions, just little different colours.
You guys smashed it out the park! Thank you for your help 👍🏻
Hi There I need to know which pioneer has a reverse camera with parking assistance guidelines that works with the steering wheel, like on Toyota Navigation Matsushita NDDN-w58
So what your saying is that the RED cable on the Camera needs to be connected to the purple white stripped wire?
Hi im using avh- p2450bt my camera is setup but there's no image showing when not in reverse,what do you think could be wrong? How do i fix it to show image always?
What if you already had a camera installed and it went out and had to just replace the camera? While hooking it up I realized there was a blue wire on the new camera and not on the wires that were ran to the rear of the vehicle. I managed to get get the camera to work in the camera view setting but not when the vehicle is put into reverse like it worked before. The blue wire is not connected.
Hi can you do video on how to wire the camera do it has continuous power
So I bought a Metra 70-1761 but there isn’t a purple/white wire so which one should I use?
I have a Pioneer DMHW4600NEX unit on my 2018 Honda Ridgeline RTL. Can I retain the factory camera?
I enjoy your videos and have learned a lot about the NEX 4200 watching them... Regarding video, I would like to use my second camera inout for a wireless camera I can move around from the box of my truck for hooking the 5th wheel I cannot see... to the back of the RV when I am pulling it. Lots of wireless cam's on the market, but all come with monitors. Can you point me to something I could point to a dedicated receiver hooked to the camera input on the NEX without needing to rig up a separate (and clumsy) transmitter on the camera end?
I own a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage G4. I also own the pioneer avh-391bhs. I'm wondering can you recommend a good backup camera for my radio? Now the factory oem equipment cost around 125 dollars US? EBAY sells back up cameras for 50 dollars US? Please lmk asap
What should the camera options be set to when you hook the back up camera to
So if the aux powers up the camera , then won’t the camera be drawing power whenever the radio is on ?
With the lines, is the only way to get them is via the reverse switch wire? I noticed the lines will come on initially but when manually going into camera the lines do not appear even though they are turned on. Thanks!
I wired the camera just like you, red to power, black to battery ground and purple to b/u light fuse in fuse box. As soon as I turn the key on, all I see is the view from the camera. I can’t use any of the buttons on the radio and touching the screen does nothing. The camera view just stays on the whole time whether it’s in reverse or not. I unhooked and tried changing the settings( because I can’t access menu while wired up)., and still the same results. The only difference is my camera has a red wire at camera end and a red wire at head unit end.
Head unit is avic 5201 nex
2012 Dodge Ram 1500”
can you record from the rear camera using a USB drive to record on?
You can ad a video switcher to for more cameras
Hello! Helping a friend with a head unit and backup cam install, and we got a little confused. Originally, we were going to tie the backup cam into the power for the backup lights. However, after watching this video, you say not to do that. So, we need to run a red and black wire from the backup cam up to the front dash, to the red and black wires there. Yes? Then, to control the headhunt so it comes on when in reverse, I splice a wire into the hot wire of the backup cam and run that to the the purple/white wire on the head unit? (The head unit is one of the newer Pioneer ones.) What gauge wire should we be running? The wire on the harness and what comes to power the camera seem to be 20 or 22, but the smallest stranded I've been able to find is 18.
Paul Lukasiewicz sorry for the delay. Yes you have everything right on how to do it. A 18 or 22 awg wire if fine for a camera
I just got the pioneer mhv 1400 with the apple play. I installed it and everything works great except the backup camera. Whrn I put the truck in reverse the camera comes up but everything on the right appears on the left and the left on the right. I need help can you tell me what I’m missing or doing wrong?
Hey you guys of been super helpful with the installation video I finally got my pioneer AVH installed but when I use the back up camera when I let off the gas it gets real shaky and the picture breaks up any thoughts on what might be
Hey guys, what front/rear camera do you recommend for the 8200NEX unit, the Pioneer BC8, or the Pac UNO 1, or any other camera option? Thanks for all of the great info!
If i wire the camera correctly to the back of the unit and source power to the purple wire, can i still access the camera while driving?
What gauge wire should I use for the reverse signal wire? 22awg? As my camera harness only has one power wire and an rca video wire , I will need to run an additional line to connect to the purple reverse signal wire at the back of the deck.
I have a question for you in regards to the two cameras. I hooked them up correctly per your guidance and when I put the car in reverse the front camera showed on the screen, I tried swapping the plugs thinking I might have the wires crossed, but when I did the parking assist lines showed up on the front camera but not present on the actual back up camera anymore. Prior to hooking up the front camera the rear camera worked as advertised. Do you have any suggestions?
Great video slowly going threw them, learning lots. Is it posable to get the cameras to shift between each other when parking ?
Wanting to install a backup camera on my rv and my tow vehicle. Is it possible to use the brown and yellow camera inputs both and switch in settings which one comes on when I put in reverse depending on when I have the trailer hooked up or not? I’d like to be able to have tow vehicle cam on when disconnected and trailer come on when connected automatically. I may have to just use the brown wire and manually switch it at the plug each time I connect and disconnect the trailer.
Are all of these settings with the camera wired into the reverse light light you previously talked about? Does this apply to the pioneer dmh-220ex?
why am I reading tons and tons about this black screen issue for reverse cam on the internet and people saying pioneer is troubled with it and people send back the NEX Units
Cause people aren’t bothered to read an owners manual
What are those things u use to tie the wires down to the amp rack I would like to get some
hooked my camera up like you said but the picture is grainy I thought the camera was bad but the other camera does the same thing
when connecting the Rca Cable to the back of the unit do you have to connect the red coming out of the Rca cable
Question...avh 2550 bed does not seem to have the parking assisted guideline on/off. I can adjust the lines and toggle on off when I’m backing up but would love those to default on. Any thoughts or similar experiences with that model?
I have the AVH 4500 NEX, I have a Pioneer camera install as a front camera. I don’t see the camera 2 reverse setting to flip the image, is there something I’m doing wrong?

I have the 3300nex and a back up camera. The camera doesn't have the lines but the head unit does. The guide line adjust is greyed put. Any idea why?
Does the 2400 NEX have the ability to add lines.
I got the AVH 4200 NEX, but I am missing reverse signal from my outlander 2016. There is no wire for that. Any other way how to make it working without buying new camera and running wire through the car? How about connecting rear view camera to front camera input or video input? I am aware that I will loose parking guidelines. But switching input may not be that bad for now.
Another very informative video - thanks again!
I have an NEX 8200. Can you adjust how long the reverse camera stays on after you take it out of reverse? Our new car has an adjustment for this and it's very handy to have the cm stay on for 15 seconds or so.
ScottDLR they do not have the feature, but it sure would be cool.
ScottDLR what did you connect rear red wire too? Reverse lights?
I'm having problems with my pioneer nex avic-8100 radio my 1st issue is my HD radio not working can't get any stations from the radio is there a different antenna I need to get for the radio to work in HD I got a 2011 Chevy avalanche and my 2nd issue is my backup camera when I put it in reverse the black screen shows up with no picture I don't what to do
Hey how do I hook up a furrion rv camera to my pioneer radio. A car place told me they would do it but I rather do it. What’s the adapter or Modulator called

I bought a esky backup camera and mine his 3 red wires. What should I do with the third one?
Is there a way to tie into the reverse light trigger anywhere other than in the rear of a '11 GMC Sierra?
as you say my camera only comes on with the revers gear. I have nex 7201 had professional company put it in. How do I tell themI am sure its wired wrong by the way you explain it? I cant even adjust my back up assist lines with no video feed to do it, I keep putting it in reverse then back to park to adjust them and back to reverse for camera and lines and park then adjust assist lines repeat this process is annoying.
Great video, but I have one question. I have the Pioneer NEX 4200 radio and a Radio Pro 4 adapter and trying to make sure I hook it up so the factory reverse camera works. I can't figure out where to connect the purple / white (i.e. "Reverse signal input") from the Pioneer to the Radio Pro 4. The Radio Pro 4 does have an unsued red / white cable ("Factory Reverse Camera Power") cable which does not match up to anything on the Pioneer.
Should I simply connect the Pioneer purple / white cable to the Radio Pro red / white cable to get the camera to work?
Or does the purple / white get joined to the main solid red cable?
Thanks!
do you guys recommend the 2016 pioneer nex units ? what's your opinion on the nex vs the 2016 Kenwoods?
Here are the things you need to know about the new NEX

The new Kenwood have not shipped yet.
Under camera settings, does a camera needs to be connected to view the extra set of menus. Currently all I see is Back Camera Input and Camera Polarity.
Mine has the same rca with a red wire on both sides but then the wire that plugs into the camera has a positive and negative. I’m very confused
I'm so illiterate when it comes to wiring. My lord. I still can't understand the purple gear signal wire vs the red positive wire that comes with the backup camera. I have the purple wire installed and setup, so whenever I put my car in reverse my head unit automatically shows the backup camera (black screen since my camera's red/black wires aren't connected to anything). Do I still need to connect the positive wire to my accessory wire? Or do I only need to connect my ground since I have the purple wire set up? So confusing....
can you make a video on setting up and wire up amp powered car antenna. I got a e46 m3 and wanna get it done NY self since the shop who installedbmine didn't bother to do it
Can I just run a fuse tap to the reverse Fuse from the head unit? My rear lights are in a spoiler so tapping into the reverse fuse would be easier.

I have a pioneer avi-2550nex and my camera stays on all the time. The red is connected to the red in the back of the unit. Black is grounded in the back and I ran a reverse light wire. How do I keep the camera from being on all the time? I tried changing the settings and nothing happened.
I had this installed with an MVH 2300 NEX and there are no guide lines and no options for it in camera settings either, is this normal?? An explanation would be greatly appreciated!
Does the front camera record video ?? I know there is a slot for a micro sd card. So does it record video or not ??
My 7600 nex doesn't have the camera view option. Is it because of the wiring?

Dean & Fernando, how do i find the reverse trigger pin and the reverse camera input on a stock headunit? No labels on the wires and back of unit. Dealer sells a harness for $75 US and its not even a smart harness, which i dont want to buy because i could buy 2 pairs of coaxials for that money. Am i correct in assuming i can find the reverse trigger with a voltmeter but how about the camera input? Thanks

I accidentally activated the camera coming on by itself every 10 seconds or so on my Pioneer head unit right after I got it installed and thought it was broken. I can't think of a legitimate use case for this "feature", can someone tell me the reason why this is a option and why Pioneer softwre ingeneers included this on their radios?
