I really like this project and it's turning out really well. I know you like to glue the plastic trim parts, but in my experience the glue never bonds well enough to interior plastic. I like to use two different types of plastic welders. The first type I use basically looks like a soldering gun, but with an arrow tip. I repair from the backside and basically use the part I'm repairings own plastic to bond itself. In some cases I'll use zip ties as filler rod on the repair. If I need a little strength added to the part I'll embed some stainless steel screen into the plastic to reinforce the repair. The other type of plastic welder I use is the hot staple gun type which works well for long cracks. In either case the smell of the melting plastic can be a bit overpowering so I usually do these repairs outside.
Last Friday night I installed a Boyo VTL17ir backup camera to the Kenwood radio in my 2007 Avalanche. The Kenwood has a reverse power wire on the back of the radio and a camera input as well, that’s how I hooked it up to the radio. In the back I tapped the trigger wire into the green wire for the reverse light on the driver side and bolted the ground wire to the frame using an existing ground bolt. The hardest part was running the wire along the frame and zip tying the backup camera harness to the existing factory harness on the frame. Now I’m just trying to figure out how to adjust the lines on the screen when the backup camera pops up lol. I may turn them off like you said.
@@TWAMotorsports sometimes we get ahead of ourselves. When I hooked up the radio itself I couldn’t figure out why I could hear people when talking to them on the Bluetooth but they couldn’t hear me. Took the radio out and discovered that I ran the wire for the microphone but apparently forgot to plug it in to the back of the radio.
Get ready for the white screen of death on that pioneer double din , come to find out it’s a very common problem it happened to to me only 5 months of owning it
Hey man been watching your videos for a while I'm a abs guy love the content I know my comment doesn't have to do with the video but had a question I see you use lasfit for your bulbs is that also on your headlights?

Thank you. I actually have a plastic welder but may have found another solution
I have a red wolf back up camera that replaces the tail gate trim n it works fine
Those are nice
I like the look of the backup camera in the tailgate handle bezel. They’re is a kit/part that holds the camera looks factory.
I should have done that before painting
@@TWAMotorsportshad it before messed up the wires tho. So getting a new one and when I fix my bed damage I have imma have that new bezel painted
@@TWAMotorsports I totally understand. The painted bezels look good.
Makes sense

Yeah mine just wasn't hooked up to the harness. Not sure why I didn't hook it up

That does happen
Heads up... I haad to resub the last two videos.
Thats wild. I have heard that from others too

Never had that issue with any of mine
@@TWAMotorsports never had a issue with any other model of pioneer only this one
@rodrigorocha9752 we will see how it goes I guess

Not on this truck but yes on most of them
Any update on the mirrors? Are they pretty stable?
So far so good. Hasn't seen much driving time
