Hell yeah, this is the best explanation with actual steps on showing how to do this that I've found. Thanks.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your feedback:) I made another video showing more of the full process with a different setup. Thanks for watching! ua-cam.com/video/RLgS8ziPeLo/v-deo.html Thats the link to that video if you're interested
Best description out there. Was looking all through videos etc. The short red wires coming out of each end on the video cable had me scratching my head. The instructions that came with the BOSS camera are just short of useless. Thanks for this video!!!
You have no idea how many of these videos I've watched and yours is the most simple and helpful and easy-to-understand thank you alot
Nice...I bought a Boss with backup camera and I have a Jeep Patriot,but seriously what a great video..will definitely help with my installation also glad someone finally explained not having to use the red wires on the video plug!
I'm your fan because your videos interesting informative well presented and they all not on one subject. That's why I'm always waiting for your new creations. Thank you. 🤘👍👏
Thank you so much! ❤ Really helps motivate me. Stay tuned because I have a lot more interesting videos coming soon!
Very helpful bro I just got my first radio with the camera you made the ultra simple for me thanks.
The handi box is a good idea, with all the salt and moisture it should extend the life of those connections, nice job.
Never got a notification for this Kenny! My brada Kenny😎 Thank you for all your support, you're awesome. I think the box will defiently help👍
@@JumpermanTech Your welcome, you make great videos.
This Unit is awesome, the back up Camera look great. Just ordered one from Crutchfield, thank you for this preview of this Boss Unit and Back up-Camera review.
Thank you for an actual in depth installation for the wiring, the red positive wires on the video cable were making me nuts
Thank you I appreciate videos like this
You are more than welcome & thank YOU! I appreciate comments like this🙏
Helped me out. Thanks!
Great video man! Thanks for showing and explaining all that. I think I can get my Boss backup camera installed now. 🤙
awesome explanation! Very good video
Extremely helpful thanks
1. What is the use of those red wires sticking out of the RCA lines? When do they need to be connected?
2. Also my aftermarket stereo back doesn't have anything that says 'Camera' or 'video in'. But I was told by the manufacturer it supports backup camera. Also they don't reply which one is for RCA input. Is CCD AV IN is the video input? Thanks
Thanks, very informative!
Thank you for this video it was very helpful
Great video, very helpful. Thankyou. One question, does it matter which end of the video cable goes to camera? I know theres a tiny little wire attached to it at one end and it must remain attached if you want to keep the parking guide lines. I accidentally installed the end with the little wire to my head unit and really didnt want to have to pull my wire back out and have to switch it around. I would think it wouldnt matter as long as it is attached....right?
I did follow your instructions thank you 🙏 very much , one problem though… my JVC stereo won’t automatically switch to the rear camera video id try and try but not successful, so I have to push manually on the unit when I’m going to reverse 😢
Nice video pal.
Nice job!
Best video yet.
Awesome video good explanation thanks
thankkkk uuuu!!
Thanks for the video.
Very well done, simple
So I have a boss stereo right and camera however when I put my car in reverse the camera is inverted any idea how to fix it? I seen a video (different set up) and the guy cut a white wire and the camera fixed however boss have black and red so idk which to cut or how to properly fix. More of a QoL fix
This was a great video but i need a lil more help i how to connect to the wires to my break lights!. Awesome video!!😎
Hell yeah brother thank you
Very helpful thank you
I have this same Boss 22 cam. How do you know what the top of it is? I would hate to snap it in and it’s upside down on my screen?
My Kenwood Navigation head unit has an additional "Reversing" wire in addition to the CAM RCA yellow input connector. Does this wire attach to the red wire you cut off that runs along side of the RCA cable then attach to the reverse light along with the red power wire?
Yes
Do not cut the red wire! If you cut that red wire you will have to manually put the stereo in camera mode to see the back up camera. If you hook up one end of the red wire to the reverse tail light and the other end to the back up camera input on the stereo, then the stereo will automatically display the back up camera when you put the car in reverse.
Depends on the application..
I’ve done this many times now.. one 2012 traverse I only needed to use the red on the camera side as the trigger from the reverse light..
the next vehicle was the same exact radio and camera.. 2006 Altima.. however I had to wire the one red to the trigger off the radio, the other to the reverse lights and use the secondary trigger Jack and also wire that red to the reverse lights and use the ground as well..
After that then I had to use the double trigger and radio power but if I grounded the secondary trigger it wouldn’t work..
To make a long story short and not list 20 different applications.. even with the reacts same radio and camera every single application and way to wire it is different..
That’s incorrect. Watch the whole video and he shows you how it works appropriately. The red wire gives you the option of getting the power from the head unit. Not all head units are the same.
@@NCalebWard Hi Caleb, I just rewatched the video and I can see how someone could misunderstand what's happening. The stereo has already been manually set to the rear camera display before the poster began recording. That's why the display reads no signal. I just did a little scrolling through the comments and looks like davidroland441 found that his stereo wasn't switching to to the camera when he put it in reverse, Jumper Man (the op) replied to say that he has to manually put his stereo in rear camera mode and that maybe he shouldn't have cut the red wires. I installed a Boss stereo similar to this one on a Ford van like this one and found that I had to connect the red wires from the rca cable for the reverse trigger to work. I was sure glad I didn't cut the wires and just wanted to save someone from making that mistake. Better to have them and not need them then need them and not have them!
@@MrJfred78so where I can connect the rear red cable since I’d connected the front to the stereo unit to the reverse cable and have issues switching automatically when put car on reverse ? Thank you
You didn't show how you hid the wiring from the truck cab to your bumper? So can provide pictures of your cab? Where did you hide the wiring from the RCA cable from the radio to the truck bed?
Can you figure out with wire from the reverse light is positive or negative with a meter and not burn out the camera? I figure it’s a 50/50 shot that I’d get it right the first time and if it doesn’t burn anything out i could just switch it if I’m wrong. Any advice Is appreciated. I don’t have a meter and I’m not completely sure how to use one anyway.
On most vehicles both are hot, there's not a positive or negative. The bulb is grounded in its housing, or isn't grounded. Because cars use DC for lighting, one wire has power coming in to the bulb and one has power going out. But both have power.
What are those red wires used for?
I assume you need to hook that ground to the back up light as well and not just any Ground on the car?
Great job Jumper
VERY GOOD VIDEO !!!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing 🤙🏽
When I connected the DC 12 volt wires to my reverse light positive and negative wires just like in your video It blew my Guages fuse(couldnt see my gauges and was no longer able to move my shifter
Ouch! Did you check voltage on those wires before connecting them? You want to make sure you didnt wire it backwards. DC is direct current. Voltage can only flow in one direction. Let me know!
One of the best videos I seen on this subject. U rock
Thank you so much for your feedback! I really appreicate the kind words. YOU rock & thanks for watching🙂 Glad you enjoyed this video. Sending blessings your way from NYC!
Grate work
Good review
For everyone watching. The red wires from the video in/out (yellow) are the power and input for pulling the cam up when shifting to reverse. Red at the cam goes to your hot reverse and from back of head unit connect to back up cam input purple wire.. or a cam 12v wire (red)
well that doesnt make any sense. This guy did it without them. If you connect your reverse light switch leg to the reverse + coming from the stereo, then the deck now knows when to turn on reverse screen and if you connect the camera to reverse switch leg it now gets powered up meaning the 2 red short wires are useless. the only way those 2 wires would be of use is if possibly you do not have a reverse + coming from the back of your deck, which doesnt make any sense either.
@@troyb3659 lol your missing the point bro. Go through the steps again. Watch his video witch works just fine lol. Then ask yourself why I added that..... Meh it's like you want to argue.
@@cptjaxie1925 what? You clearly said what the wires are used for and he clearly cut them out. I am saying you are wrong and you are now argui.g that you ....well I do t know wtf you are saying now, you sound d like you are crawfishing while pointing the finger. Ima cut my red wires off and mail the useless wires to you.
@@troyb3659 ohh install it how ever you want man the wires are there for a reason lol
@@troyb3659 you didn't even install yet
Hella helpful
So it didn’t need reverse trigger to the radio? The purple and white?
Did you run wires from your radio all the way back to the rear i have a Silverado extended cab trying to figure out how to get from the radio back to the camera any help would be greatly appreciated
That''s what I was wondering. This post is a year old so I'm hoping you can provide the answer now to a guy that's getting ready to do this install.
You said you cut the red wires off both yellow male connections. Aren’t they there for a reason? I thought you had to connect the wire behind the radio yo a 12v? Sorry I’m just confused after watching a few other videos that say otherwise.
Should my video out cable show power? I had my camera working but tried to extend the video cable and think my camera shorted
Also my power cord is working correctly
Thank you only one with the flush mount
Ty 👍
So what is the red wire for tho
I have the same camera wiring as you do but there is a green wire on the stereo harness that is labeled reverse? Any ideas would be helpful.
That wire tells the stereo that the car has gone into reverse, and to switch over to the camera feed. You'll need to find which wire carries the "in reverse" signal to your dash.
I thought that that is why the reverse light is tapped into, to “send a signal that it is in reverse ” and therefore apply power to the camera.
Do you have to click on the camera button every time you want to use it? I just installed it and it doesn’t automatically show the camera when I go into reverse unless I have the camera “app” open.
I have to do the same. Can't figure it out.
Greetings, I recently bought a camera like this one, when in reverse does it change automatically to the rear camera screen or do I have to navigate via my boss radio to the camera?
I have to navigate to the camera mode on my boss radio.
Nice job man. Thx!
Thank you so much! You're very welcome🙂
I like your junction box
There is a reverse line on the wiring harness, where does that get hooked to? or does only the 12v to the reverse tail light need to be hooked up for this to work?
2:13 explains it. Take those 2 wires and wire it to the reverse lights🙂 The way its wired is shown later on in the video at 5:04
Connect the red wire to positive and black wire to negative on the reverse lights👍
Recommend watching the entire video to fully understand the setup. Have a good week🙂
@@JumpermanTech Right I saw that, and I see a wire in the harness from the back of the radio that says reverse signal input. Do you need to hook this up to something?
@@JumpermanTech can you answer what the reverse signal input wire on the back of the radio harness goes to?
@@jeffk7966 Should be a wire connection on the back of the head unit, called "Reverse Signal Input" or something similar! So the screen knows when you're in reverse
Great video very helpful
Thank you so much! Glad you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching🙂
Thanks a lot i was confuse with the wiring :)
For a motorcycle, how would you keep the rear view camera always on so you have can have more field of view behind you?
Probably just hook up the 12v wire to your IGNITION ON wire instead of to your reverse lights.
How u know witch is positive or negative or reverse light wire
The wires are all color coded and labeled. Match up the colors 👍 Thanks for watching!
You have to run a wire from the purple in the back of the unit call reverse to the reverse light. It will flip the screen automaticly
Can I connect the purple wire direct to the red wire on the camera system?
Yes, the yellow rca, with the red wire in it. That red wire you connect to reverse sensor on deck to energize camera upon going being in reverse. The red wire on deck marked rear camera is constant 12v, so you’ll have to manually switch to camera on deck to view.
On camera side of wiring, the red wire with the yellow rca will crimp to the red power camera wire then go to your positive reverse wire. Take black to chassis
Why do we cut off/not use the red strands on the yellow video RCA cable?
You’re not suppose to. One side of the wire hooks up to the receiver while the other side gets 12v from the backup light
Mine doesn’t go on when in reverse. I have to actually click the camera on my Home Screen why is that?
What if I don’t want the camera installed?
Is there a way you can set it up so that once the camera is powered, it automatically switches to it?
U ever figure it out?
iinsomniia Unfortunately no
I have a feeling that’s the little red wires on the yellow rca video cable
This is where that red wire he cut off comes into play. One side hooks up to the reserve light and the other hooks up to a purple and white?? Wire. Something like that. 12Vdc input for reverse camera
@@TheCurlyNomad I thought that wire goes connects to rear camera power? The red and white wire
Awesome! In a different video one guy was saying that that red short wire (NEXT TO YELLOW VIDEO CABLE) is suppose to connect somewhere on both ends. But you just proved its not needed! 👍
It actually depends on the stereo. If you don’t connect the red wire to the reverse wire on the harness, it won’t sense the car going in reverse. The stereo that he’s using doesn’t need it, because it senses the video through the yellow rca, and that’s by design of the manufacturer
Gucci is wrong. It's still needs the signal wire. I have the same radio. If you don't connect the short red signal wire on the camera end to power and the radio end to the reverse in wire (purple) there's no way for the radio to automatically sense it. In the video he has the camera up on screen already with no source, until he puts it in reverse.
@@davidelliott8324 dude help me...this is the problem im having. i have to have it on camera for it to show up when putting in reverse. how do you have it show up automatically if you have it on tuner or cd mode?
are you saying the little red wire on the camera end needs to have power to the reverse light also? and the unit side little red wire needs to go to purple wire? does the purple wire still need wired into the reverse light as well?
@@madmicky4088 it's been over a year since I did it myself, but let's see if I can explain it. The red signal wire on the camera end needs to be hardwired to your vehicle's reverse light wire. On the radio end, the short red wire needs to be connected to the purple " reverse in" wire that goes into the boss radio. Basically the little red wires create a straight line from the reverse light power wire to the radios purple wire.That way you're making a circuit from your white backup light to the radio that automatically connects when you put the vehicle in reverse. The radio will automatically show the camera feed on screen over any other function automatically as long as the vehicle is in reverse. Hope this helps you picture what you need to do.
To use the camera as a dedicated back-up camera, you need to connect the camera end red wire to the reverse light and the radio end red wire to the purple radio harness wire. Imagine they red wire runs straight as one long red wire all the way from the reverse light to the purple wire on the radio. Then the camera only gets power and turns on in reverse, because the white reverse light only turns on in reverse. And the radio is designed to show that purple wire source at all times when it is getting power.
❤️❤️❤️
You couldn't have just installed it with the mount that goes on the License Plate? Like it's supposed to installed?
Did you have to manually be in camera mode to view it? Or did yours kick in automatically? I just installed mine but it doesn’t switch to camera mode automatically.
I have to click the camera mode and when I put my car in reverse, the camera gets energized. Most people just put their cars in reverse and it goes straight to camera mode without having to manually be in camera mode. There was 2 red wires if I remember correct that I wasnt sure what to do with them. Those wires might be what overrides everything but I'm not sure. It might just be this cheap BOSS audio equipment haha thanks for watching!
The red wires he told you to cut are trigger wires that send unit automatically into reverse screen.
@@JumpermanTech O yea... So we do need those wires... LOL!
@@vals8062 Hey do you know where to connect that red wire to get switched to cam mode automatically? Thanks
@@ahb199 on the stereo end it connects to the reverse in wire(should be purple I believe) on the harness. The other end connects to the same power source as the red camera wire.
The red pig tail wires your going to cut off are your trigger wires to head unit this how the unit will switch automatically to the reverse screen than return to radio.
Why my guide line don't show?
I would put a ring terminal and ground that to chassis ground. I would not trust the negative of those parking lights they might not go to a direct round. Too many of these cars have multiplexing voltage sensing wires in them.
hi, there is a red wire at the RCA connector with you plugged into the Camera at the Headunit, where do you connect this red wire to??
Yes I need help with this as well please how did you wire the head unit side? Did you attach the 12v constant to the "reverse" wire on the radio harness or the the constant?
@@shpamow9095 ua-cam.com/video/to9K2QSYZz4/v-deo.html
Is there a way to get the head unit to turn to the camera screen when you put it in reverse without pushing the button manually?
There should be but I'm not exactly sure how. When you put the car in reverse then it should automatically come up. Might be there setup or something to do with those 2 wires I taped off that were for the camera screen
I replied to another question about the same thing.
Tapping into the reverse light is the initial trigger and turns on the power to the camera.
Then the “purple” or whatever colored wire from the HU is to trigger the HU that the vehicle is in reverse and should therefore turning on the screen so you can see so you can then make an informed choice as to weather you want to proceed with caution or wreck-less abandon,,,,,,lol
But aside from the joking, doe what I’m saying make sense?
I mean, why else would there be a wire (violet & white in this case) coming out of the head unit?
It’s like the white & green coming out for the paring brake, it is to prevent the video player from working while the car is in motion.
Unless of course you’re into burning up your rear brakes trying to be the newest member of The Fast & Furious,,,,,,lol
So nice of them to give a thing to drill out hole… few mins later it was complete trash
My Boss head unit doesn’t switch to the camera when shifted into reverse.
I have to activate the camera thru the menu button in order to see.
Any ideas what I can do to remedy this problem??
Did you found a solution i just finished installing everything and have the same issue?
No, I have not
Just did it today, you have to connect the red little wire of the rca camera cable to a violet cable from the boss unit called rear view camera and then on the back connect the same little red wire to the positive of the reverse light and thats all!!
@@alanquattrocchilucero3649 thanks. I’ll give it a try
@@alanquattrocchilucero3649 thanks!! That helped!!! It works correctly now!!!
Thank you!!!
thanks buddy;
👍
This is only half correct. He is wrong about the other two red wires at either end of the rca jack cable. the one at the stereo needs to splice to the reverse light wire coming out the back of the stereo and the one at the camera end needs to also splice to the red (load) wire of the reverse light. If you only do it his way the camera won't come on when youre using android auto or apple or if you're in any screen other than the boss home screen. The red on the rca jacks doesn't supply power to the camera or stereo but the presence of current on that wire does make the stereo screen switch from whatever app or music or whatever to the reverse camera.
What radio you got bro?
how much should someone charge for this kind of install? friend price?
Holy rust batman.
Runs like a charm 😂
@@JumpermanTech great video btw!!
They make a size small glove…
Look man no hate at all. I thumbed up your video however these instructions are completely wrong. The camera should always be energized through the wiring and not just when in reverse. You do need to tap in separately for that but to my understanding not on the camera end but on the head unit end to trigger the camera hence why they generally have you do it somewhere near your shifter. While your method works fine to have it be energized while it reverse hence working while in reverse it will never activate like a regular back up camera. For the third time while I have had time I'm tackling the issue again and I will update other curious people on how this should be wired up to activate when in reverse.

🤘🤘🤘
Got same camera with a BOSS BV9364B; the instructions that comes with it for connection are garbage as well; mine caused me an issue in the electrical system because their horrible instructions, because of that I ended up getting a Pioneer radio and a eRapta camera, screw BOSS but I keep reading all systems have their share of problems and complaints of radios quitting, what can we expect with this invasion of Chinese market the world is living today under!
So you can't clean your before fucking setting up
Jumper man, you really should delete this video and make a new one. The way you show to hook up the backup camera is not correct. When done correctly the backup camera comes on when you put the car in reverse, the same way all factory installed backup cameras work. You do not have to go into a menu on the touch screen to turn on the camera. Those two red wires are an essential part of the design to make the camera work when the car is in reverse. Your other video is OK, but that is for a backup camera that is not part of an infotainment system, and you can use it whether you are going backward or forward.
This is why you let people install these things for you. That "junction box " is not needed and the way you splice is absurd.
No one found it helpful because with the title you gave it you’ll never find this video on purpose when you need it. Put a camera in my truck a week ago and never saw this video anywhere-
That's a really terrible video from someone who has obviously no idea about the topic! Don't tell people to cut essential cables just because you didn't understand what they are doing and why they are there. That's really bad! To your information, the red cables you were cutting are for the radios reverse trigger input. Ever wondered why your radio never switches to the backup camera automatically when engaging the reverse gear!? That's because you cut those cables! When wired correctly, those cables tell you head unit that the reverse gear is in and that your head unit should switch to the reverse cam. You even pretended everything works by manually going into the rearview video feed submenu. That's just misleading your audience fooling them into believing your head unit is actually switching automatically. Well that's not the case as you are already in the submenu and the head unit just shows the video feed once the camera is powered. I wonder how many people screwed this up because of you! I was almost one of them but luckily checked out how to do this correctly! Please delete/redo this terrible video...
where's the video that shows how to do it correctly lol im not tryna cut any wires
