This is cool and all, but this tells me nothing about how to make it work in an actual car. Now I know how the wires connect but how do I connect something from my headlight to the back of my radio? Do I have to drill wire holes or something?
@@MrGamelover23 1st off, every car differs so greatly, that if your are looking fora vehicle specific video, you need to search specifically for that vehicle. 2nd, don't connect the camera to the headlight, that will do you no good. I'd suggest connecting it to the reverse light in the tail light. 3rd, you haven't mentioned what vehicle this is being installed on whatsoever.
@@ProvoBeastAudio Uh, 2001 Ford Focus but this is purely hypothetical, so don't actually waste time answering it. Also I meant the reverse light instead of the headlight. But I figured that I can just have the cord go from underneath the dashboard to the back of the radio unit. I'm a long way off from being able to afford that kind of set up anyway, as soon as I get a paycheck I spend half of it on car repairs. I'll probably start small with something that doesn't actually have a screen just so I can get some basic Bluetooth functionality before eventually working my way up to a full-blown infotainment console with the screen and backup camera compatibility. But thank you for taking the time to reply anyway, sorry for wasting your time.
I've looked at tons of these back up camera videos where the purple are actually doing all of the work. But this, without all of the other footage was 100% more informative.. clear and concise.. bravo sir!
This has to be the BEST video on the internet showing CLEARLY how to hook up all wires. I’ve been researching 3 days and been so frustrated and about to just give up. Then I stumbled across the video and it’s so simple and I cannot thank you enough. Subbed and liked !!!
This Video was a lifesaver...I bought a car with Pioneer head unit and had to install reverse camera..I bought from amazon and was able to install the camera without any prior experience in my Nissan Altima 2013. Thanks a ton. Love this experience and consider this as my achievement in DYI
I watched several youtube videos on how to install a backup camera and this one is the best. It took me about 4.5 hours to install a camera and a new head unit into my 2007 Toyota Tundra. Much of the time was spent running the wire from the back to the front. I had to drill a hole in the cab and fish the wire through to the head unit. It was a pain but I am happy with the results.
I am installing cameras on my experimental amphibious airplane, N71RJ, to monitor critical functions like wheel positions. This video has been more helpful than a dozen others in understanding the wiring scheme - and all done in less than 11 minutes. Thank you!
Out of all of the videos out there, this one changed my trajectory. No other video I found explains what the system needs to trip the camera and how the little red wires on the camera feed can be used for that. THANK YOU! I've been working on this thing off and on for three weeks. Your video got me across the finish line.
Haven't installed a stereo in over decade. Just got a screen with this back up cam. All new to this an this video was perfect at explaining. Bout to go give it a try wish me luck
Thank you so much, we've been struggling for like 5 hours trying to figure out how it works, tutorial after tutorial. Next day, we found this. We did it in 15 minutes, I am saying it again, thank you for making this tutorial.
A professional audio company made a UA-cam video where they added a wire from the taillight to the radio reverse trigger, at that moment I realized they didn’t know what they were doing. Thank you for clarifying, it makes sense!
Very helpful for me. I would’ve never understood that the red wire runs alongside the yellow RCA wire. My whole hang up was trying to find where to hook up the red wire coming off of the radio to get reverse power. You explained it so clearly. Thanks. I connected the other end to my reverse light👍
same here bro... the camera instructions that came with mine left that part out... had to figure it out on my own...im sure without understanding this connection, many people would assume the camera was defective... helpful vid!
I did not expect to find a video that explained in such an effective and simple way. so much so I feel 100% confident in doing the job when I was 15% before.
I already knew how to wire up a back up cam as I have plenty of experience with wiring, but I have never installed a back up cam and this video helped me confirm my thoughts on the installation process before I do it myself. Great video.
THANK GOD I found this video! The directions with my camera are bad. uTube videos just hook stuff up and don'texplain things very well. Now I know what the little red pig tail wires are for! I bought my stereo and camera from Crutchfield and tech support did not even know how to hook up the wires. It all makes sense now. Thank you!!!
I did everything like this video did, however my 04 Lexus is300 back up light has both positive wires instead positive and negative, should I run my own ground wire from the head unit down to the camera ground wire?
This is arguably the best explanation I have seen on UA-cam. I have been researching for almost a week now and this video just solved all my problems. Thank you guys for this amazing content
I've seen hundreds of videos about reverse camera installation and this is the one explaining clearly all connection and cables. Now, I'm able to figure out that in my particular case, I do not need the red cable connection to the radio since my radio is able to switch to reverse mode once I change the gear to do that. Thank you!
I cant thank you enough for telling me about that extra red wire hanging off the video cable.. now I dont have to find the reverse light under the dash! You are the man!
Thank you for breaking it down and making it simple. I have a small trailer and wanted to keep an eye on it while traveling this summer. Everyone out there is trying to keep this "Secret Squirrel" and it's frustrating. I have a great camera in my 2016 Nissan Sentra, and wanted to use it and now I can! Thanks again, YOU ROCK!
Holy crap... I've been looking into hooking up my backup camera and was loosing confidence in doing it myself. This is by far the best and simplest explanation. Thank you!
This is a great easy to understand video. Don't forget that some cameras use 6 volts instead of 12 so you will have to get some kind of converter to go from the backup light to the camera, the converter usually has three wires, a ground, a 12-volt positive in and a 6-volt volt positive out that connects to the camera.
I bought a wireless backup camera kit thinking it would be beneficial, while it was one of the more cheap kits I have put more time into a wireless receiver than what I would have had to put in this. This makes it more simple!
GEEZUS, how fkn hard is this from ALL the manufacturers who sell these? I was just about to make a video like this when I came across yours. I see no need to clutter the internet you did an amazing job Sir! Thank you.
My head unit gives me the option to look at the camera image anytime I want I’m driving down the freeway I can turn it on. And the way to do that is to take the red wire in the black wire just hook the black one to the Jessica car and then find any hot water in your car you could even go to your license plate light but you’d have to turn your running lights on to turn the camera on. Or even just connected to your cigarette lighter where it’s always hot then you can look at the image anytime you want. And it will still come on when you go in reverse
You can also use switch as a trigger for the video signal provided with 12volts source and 1.5 amp or 3 amp to be safe. This way, you can use the camera as a monitor and not only for reversing the car.
@@RealPivotTV yeah. It turns on the camera. The LED’s will have constant power to them unless you run that trigger wire all the way back up front to were the trigger for the camera is done. I tried it every way possible.
You've earned a sub! Normally, I don't view alot of these videos, but in this case I needed to and like everyone said, THIS IS THE BEST EXPLANATION on wiring properly.
Provo Beast Audio Installation I have a wireless camera but I am not able to connect them. Can you help me please? Camera have 2 wires yellow and red these fit the wireless transformer. Monitor have 3 wires yellow, white and red while the wireless transformer have only yellow.
It's true, I kept seeing others trying to tie the Reverse line off the Stereo in parrallel with the B+ and ACC wires off the harness I was like wtf.. I don't want my camera on the screen 24/7 This video is better than most
Thank you, thank you, thank you. FINALLY an explanation that SIMPLY explains what all included wires connect to. No modifications or alternative ways to get it done, just what everything is for and where it goes.
Thanks for this video. I am installing one in my truck and knowing that little wire goes directly to my reverse wire is going to save me untold amounts of time!!! Thanks again!!!
Brilliant video, so well explained with useful examples. The bench demo is so much more useful than on a car as it clearly shows the connection requirements.
Very clear and precise demonstration of the wiring. Many thanks to the presenter. These other videos demonstrating the process, the presenters reach somewhere, hide some content and leave somebody in the dark.
I had to check all the connections on my excesting unit. since someone just plugged the cables and did not secure them i had to go check the connections and found the power cables dissconnected in the tail gate. Make sure you out some electric tape to keep them from seperating in the future! Thanks for showing the cables like this, it really helped!
Great video!!! I've been wrecking my brain with this. I wish I would wave found this about 4hrs ago when I was trying to do the continuous power setup.....Well explained.
I figured out to remove the clips from my car myself but this video was on point and accurate and super easy to follow. Thank you so much for saving me the headache and money to do this myself. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
This video is wrong, please do not follow these instructions if your car radio has a Canbus. I followed these instructions for method 1 and while the camera worked I ended up with multiple errors on my car's ECU from multiple modules. You do not connect the red wire from the video cable to the rear light positive source or to the rear of the radio, if your radio comes with a Canbus module. The canbus will operate the camera when power is applied via the rear light bulb. The instructions given in this video only apply to car radio that do not have a canbus.
Hi, I connected the reverse camera I installed on my car exactly like your first wiring. The camera works, then goes off after 2 seconds. I probed the voltage on the reverse light power line : 6V. The camera operates (fine) in the range 9-15V. As there is a 12V output from my display, I used this one and it works fine ... whatever if the camera would be always ON ; at least it works. Sometimes, you have to be more realistic than fancy ... Note : the camera supplier (in China) provided a wiring diagram where it is indicated to connect to the reverse light. The only trick is that you have to probe the voltage on this line and it has to be sufficient for the camera.
I watched this video before fitting my rear view camera. I followed all the steps as per this video and the camera would only work when the cars ignition was on but car not running, start the car and the camera would switch off. What I found out after alot more searching on the Internet was if your car happens to have can bus electronics you have to energise the camera not from the back up lights but through a relay so you need a 12volt feed from the car battery to the relay, a ground to the relay, a wire from the backup lights to switch the relay and lastly wires from relay to the camera and the trigger wire. This video does not explain this so yes what is shown but not correct for all cars.
I just read you comment. Icannot get it to work. If the engine is off, the camera picture is perfect. Once the engine is running, the picture is completely distorted. Could it be the same thing? I have canbis as well, and power through the back light. I am not technical at all, so relays and stuff...i don't know.. Do you have any more info?
Your voice and the way you explain everything makes it's so easy to understand everything... if only you was my teacher at secondary and college, id probably be a doctor right now ☺️
This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you very much! I am installing a 13.9 inch Tesla style entertainment system in my 2010 Maserati Quattroporte S. It did not have a back up camera and the entertainment system I purchased did not have instructions. I was confused by the two small red wires co-located with the RCA plug and you explained it very nicely. Once again thanks for a great tutorial.
Clearly the instructions that came with the camera manual could have /should have been clearer, then it would not be necessary to hunt down tutorial on you tube. I'm installing jensen camera, wired exactly like your instructional video. I had the camera working, but it was on all the time. Now, I see why. Victory awaits..... Thx, Bro
Super clear. Thanks. Really helped me while doing an install. Amazing why the camera manufacturer Boyo did not make either their instructions clear and simple or even just make a video. Thanks!!!
This is the best video explaining the backup camera wiring !!!! Power wiring is clearly explained with fine details, no other video did that. Thank you.
Excellent video. I feel I have done enough research to correctly hook this up. The only enigma is how I run the wire into the car. I have a corvette and was told to jack up the car, remove the driver side rear tire, remove the wheel well and I can slide the yellow wire into the antenna wires entering the car. Not sure how easy that would be or if there would be some hurdles.
Exceptional instructional video. Well done. I bought an aftermarket (OEM comparable Rosen head unit) for my 2009 Corolla and need to wire a backup camera. Thank you!
Great video, who'd have thought showing how to wire the device would be more helpful than the ones that just tell you to drill holes and plug in wires.
There’s actually a third way to do it as well. You attach the purple back up camera wire to the red power wire attached to the video in behind the radio.
Thank you for this video! You freaking rule! Great tutorial. You've actually given me the confidence to do this so I did it today on my wife's 2001 CR-V 5spd. Hardest part was t-taping. My t-taps weren't able to get through the wire housings even with using the pliers to squeeze them down so when I fired it up nothing worked initially. So I removed the taps and used my wire stripper to reveal some copper then retapped. It was good after that. Only other issue was the wire from these cheap Chinese kits are such small gauge wire. Wish they were a little thicker gauge. I had a hard time crimping the power wire spade. It kept coming apart because of the small gauge wire. So I stripped more wire and doubled it over to make it thicker then recrimped and it held. My car battery also died while doing this so thought the radio was broken or a fuse popped because it wouldn't turn on. So I checked all connections. Removed the harness to make sure the crimps were holding. Then I noticed the lights on the dash were fading. I tried to start the car and nothing. I had to jump it. Then everything worked. Power hungry accessories. But thanks again. Your tutorial was super clear.
Very useful video.Fitted a JMCQ For Toyota Avensis T250 2 II 2003 - 2009 Car Radio Multimedia Video Player Navigation 4G GPS Android 11 Carplay 2 Din today. Bought from Ali Express the T10-A-Camera model for £93! Fitted well with a slight trim of the Toyota console. Came with virtually identical camera.

What I found out after alot more searching on the Internet was if your car happens to have can bus electronics you have to energise the camera not from the back up lights but through a relay so you need a 12volt feed from the car battery to the relay, a ground to the relay, a wire from the backup lights to switch the relay and lastly wires from relay to the camera and the trigger wire. This video does not explain this so yes what is shown but not correct for all cars.
I just read you comment. Icannot get it to work. If the engine is off, the camera picture is perfect. Once the engine is running, the picture is completely distorted. Could it be the same thing? I have canbis as well, and power through the back light. I am not technical at all, so relays and stuff...i don't know.. Do you have any more info?
Your voice and the way you explain everything makes it's so easy to understand everything... if only you was my teacher at secondary and college, id probably be a doctor right now ☺️
Thank you! Your video is very easy to understand and helpful 👍🏼
This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you very much! I am installing a 13.9 inch Tesla style entertainment system in my 2010 Maserati Quattroporte S. It did not have a back up camera and the entertainment system I purchased did not have instructions. I was confused by the two small red wires co-located with the RCA plug and you explained it very nicely. Once again thanks for a great tutorial.
Thank you. I'm having troubles installing my backup camera. You have made it clear as to how to install it. I'll try your way. I subscribed

Awesome video thank you so much
My biggest concern was which red went to which or if they were to be twisted together… the diagrams don’t specify. Thank you for your clarification!
Finally. A video that explains it well. Thank you, sir.
Best back up camera video on you tube!
This is a great Video. Explained everything I needed to know when hooking up my camera to my radio . thanks
Clearly the instructions that came with the camera manual could have /should have been clearer, then it would not be necessary to hunt down tutorial on you tube. I'm installing jensen camera, wired exactly like your instructional video. I had the camera working, but it was on all the time. Now, I see why. Victory awaits.....
Thx, Bro
This was a really great video. Thank you. Very clear and simple on the how to of backup camera wiring.
Dude you saved the day. I was so stuck trying to figure out how to wire it. You are amazing
FOUR MILLION views and counting, again! Again, thanks for the continued support and don't forget to Subscribe!
Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Explaining the two short red wire terminals allowed me connect the same camera to my Chinese Car Smart AI Voice Player Single Din Radio. Huge thanks.
You are the best if it weren’t for you I would of never connected the camera

I've seen tons of similar video but finally you're one explained clearly how and why. Thank you so much Sir
Best video!

Done! Thanks for that great video. It totally helped me out in connecting my multimedia with the rear view camera :)
Not just what I have but the basics does give me a better understanding than the limited instructions that came with.
Super clear. Thanks. Really helped me while doing an install. Amazing why the camera manufacturer Boyo did not make either their instructions clear and simple or even just make a video. Thanks!!!
This is the best video explaining the backup camera wiring !!!! Power wiring is clearly explained with fine details, no other video did that. Thank you.
Finally I find a video that makes sense
I watch four or five of these videos and yours was the clearest to the point and spot on information I needed to hook up a reverse camera.
Thank you
Excellent video. I feel I have done enough research to correctly hook this up. The only enigma is how I run the wire into the car. I have a corvette and was told to jack up the car, remove the driver side rear tire, remove the wheel well and I can slide the yellow wire into the antenna wires entering the car. Not sure how easy that would be or if there would be some hurdles.
Exceptional instructional video. Well done. I bought an aftermarket (OEM comparable Rosen head unit) for my 2009 Corolla and need to wire a backup camera. Thank you!
Did you get to do the backup camera ? Did it connect to the Rosen head unit?
Great video, who'd have thought showing how to wire the device would be more helpful than the ones that just tell you to drill holes and plug in wires.
There’s actually a third way to do it as well. You attach the purple back up camera wire to the red power wire attached to the video in behind the radio.
You are the greatest I’ve searched high and low for a proper tutorial good work
Thank you for this video! You freaking rule! Great tutorial. You've actually given me the confidence to do this so I did it today on my wife's 2001 CR-V 5spd. Hardest part was t-taping. My t-taps weren't able to get through the wire housings even with using the pliers to squeeze them down so when I fired it up nothing worked initially. So I removed the taps and used my wire stripper to reveal some copper then retapped. It was good after that. Only other issue was the wire from these cheap Chinese kits are such small gauge wire. Wish they were a little thicker gauge. I had a hard time crimping the power wire spade. It kept coming apart because of the small gauge wire. So I stripped more wire and doubled it over to make it thicker then recrimped and it held. My car battery also died while doing this so thought the radio was broken or a fuse popped because it wouldn't turn on. So I checked all connections. Removed the harness to make sure the crimps were holding. Then I noticed the lights on the dash were fading. I tried to start the car and nothing. I had to jump it. Then everything worked. Power hungry accessories. But thanks again. Your tutorial was super clear.
Very useful video.Fitted a JMCQ For Toyota Avensis T250 2 II 2003 - 2009 Car Radio Multimedia Video Player Navigation 4G GPS Android 11 Carplay 2 Din today.
Bought from Ali Express the T10-A-Camera model for £93! Fitted well with a slight trim of the Toyota console.
Came with virtually identical camera. Great explanation of two different powering methods. I will be powering the camera from a 12v ignition based outlet in the boot, and using the reversing light 12v hot to tell the unit to display the camera. Great job Mr Provo Beast!
Thank you so very much. I have to do this 4 times. I am going to use some rear view cameras tapped into turn signals to show me what is in the lane next to me.
Of all the reverse camera install videos on this channel, yours is the best ! Thank you for your help
Thank you so much for this video. The instructions that came with my radio are terrible at best. This explains it perfectly!
