This is the absolute best backup camera installation I have seen. The diagram is exactly what I needed. Excellent!
The diagram is exactly what I needed. your drawing made it so simple to understand instead of the unit instructions. Excellent!
I've seen a million how-to videos and I gotta say this is probably one of the best I've ever seen. The same goes for your radio install video. Clear, concise, and your descriptions are well done and easy on the ears. 👍🏽
same here explained very well pics to wiring
agree@@JohnJames-ui2ts
After watching 20 + videos, and searching multiple websites and forums, THESE instructions finally enabled me to install a backup camera in my ‘01 Wrangler!!
Man you are a life saver, i wish you know how many trash videos i had to look though to find this gold mine. Thanks so much for posting this VERY HELPFUL video.
You maid it as simple as you can make it great video I wish everyone can explain things like you did
Finally, an actually helpful, detailed, how-to that doesn't leave anything out! Spent weeks looking for help and I think this is it. I'll be doing my 3rd brake light camera on my chevy express and I'm sure this will be my study guide, thank u sir🙏🏽
This was Extremely helpful, I looked at a ton of other ways to tap into the reverse gear input and nothing worked and this was just plain simple and worked out great...:. Thanks a lot man
This video is how instructions on any wiring hook should be. Very informal and easy to follow. Thanks for putting your time into this tutorial !
Man........., you're the best. I've watched a dozen videos on how to install the reverse camera and not one, I mean not one of them gave a full explanation like you did. Thank you.
You did a SUPERB job walking us through this process. Sincerely, the best I’ve seen. Thanks!!!
Best video on how to connect a rear view camera, a lot easier to understand.
This video really helped me out because i was really wondering what the second red wire did and i got it to work right
I went through a dozen of these videos and he’s the only one that helped me and got my camera to work!
Thank you bud ! 🤙🏼I’m smashing that like button and
you have saved me a lot of headache, a car electrician was here and had no idea without your diagrams why its not working. kudos.
Awesome video, straight forward and the instructions are clear.
Thank you! Ordered a new head unit from Amazon, and it came with a very poorly written instruction booklet. The included free backup camera instructions were even worse! And the diagrams were so small, I couldn't even make them out with a magnifying glass. This video cleared it all up for me! (Honestly, it was pretty much exactly what I planned to do anyway, but it verified that my instincts were correct). Top notch instructional video!
Dude thank you so much for this, I'm disabled and all I want is a backup camera in my truck, because my lift blocks my back window I was sitting here thinking this was a big old problem and you explained it so easily. Thank you so much for your video I really do appreciate it.
You picture is worth a thousand words - best video for this!!! Worked perfectly! Thank you!
Great Video man, been watching hours of videos on this exact task and yours by far was the best I've seen. Very informative and thank you for the diagram.
This is ONE of very few videos that is VERY HELPFUL. the wiring diagram that you drew is what's so helpful for us non-electronics guys. Your video, plus one other I found helped me figure out how to use/wire a backup camera as a Front View/Facing camera.
In my case, I have a new Pioneer DMH-2660NEX head unit, which has a purple w/white stripe wire that is a trigger wire for the Reverse camera view. It does not have any trigger wire for Front view use. However, you can go into the menu for that signal. (later on that)
When used as a backup camera, the little red wires send the 12v signal from the backup light wire up to the head unit. This a 12V INTO the head unit. It tells the head unit when the vehicle has been shifted into reverse.
Now, I'm also using that same (model) camera as a front view camera. If you don't have a head unit that supports a "trigger" for a front view camera, you need to wire it in for a constant 12V. Instead of going all the way back up to the head unit for that 12v, I wired the RED wire off the camera directly into an unused fuse in the fuse box, which in my 2003 RAM P/UP is under the hood. So, long story short, I didn't need to use the "little red wire", there's no need to send that signal back to the head unit.
Now, when I shift into Reverse, the backup camera comes on automatically. The Front Facing camera is actually ON all of the time. When I want the Front Facing view, I select it from the menu on the head unit. It's not automatic like the Reverse camera view, but after very little practice, touching two funtions on the head unit is very easy.
WOW! That was a lot of words to describe this, but I hope it helps compliment Chris' video.
So, now I'm actually working on the wiring for the FRONT FACING Camera, and I'm not sure of myself (lifeling problem guys!!). No worries about the backup camera. Thats easy. I have a Pioneer DMH-2660NEX. It has a Reverse (backup) trigger wire. However, for a Front Facing camera, there is no trigger wire. To capture the Front camera image, two steps in the menu are pressed. I've joined the thin red wire that comes off the first yellow RCA plug into the 12V Red Power wire that feeds the camera. But, since I'm doing a Front Facing application, and powering the camera off an ignition 12V feed directly, do I really need to connect the thin red wire that normally connects to the head unit trigger wire? I hope this makes sense? I guess a better way of asking this is, since this camera is receiving 12V constantly, and there is no "trigger" hook up, but just the camera RCA, should I just tape off the thin red wires on the black video wire?
Thanks for your help folks. I hope I've described my situation in an understandable manner.
@@randytaylor885 I'm sure you got this handled by now. You explained it perfectly but in case anyone else reads this and was hoping for the answer yeah, you can just tape off the one at the head unit. The one at the front of the vehicle should be the same as well unlesss it is bundled with the ground needed for the camera (I dont think you mentioned if or where you grounded it but its late and im tired and might have missed it) . In short you can cap the red wire at the Head Unit and as long as you're tapped into a 12V constant and grounded at the device that 'should' be all that's needed to complete the Front mount Camera.
@@ImanAhole Howdy, Yes, everything worked out well. Only problem now is that since I so rarely drive this truck, I have troulbe remembering which two icons I need to touch on the Head Unit to turn the forward camera on! It happens to us old farts!😕 Thanks for your reply Iman
Great Job best video I ever seen on the install of a rear view cam. Spent a couple of hours and this is by far the best step by step and in detail video. I work as a installer in Circuit City and your video is great should be the first video to pop up when searching for rear view cam installation.
You did an awesome video (BIG props to east Texas). Worked on this for over 4 hours in AZ heat 115 degrees, watched your video done in 20 mins... not including buttoning up and things Thanks a lot
Great video and your drawing made it so simple to understand instead of the unit instructions.
Chris I’m with you bud, I live in Houston with an 04 Tj project and I didn’t work on it this summer since it was too freaking hot! I put that same radio in and bought the same backup camera that I haven’t put in yet, this video will help me perfectly! Thanks for doing this and I look forward to more videos.
Great video. I put off this part of the job for 6 months since I didn’t know what to do. It was quick thanks to your video.
Thank you man, this saves me, its the best video tutorial
Very helpful, so many BS video's out there that leave so much out and then I found yours. The best one yet, Thank you for posting!!!
This video is so detailed!! Perfect to DIY without any problems. Thanks a lot for that!!!!
Best video on Backup Camera installation I've seen so far. Mainly, the cheap connectors. Installed one this past weekend. Didn't work. My Head Unit said CVV In not RC In. Also I used the same connectors you used on the back of the Jeep. What I'm going to do is connect a 9 Volt battery to the Camera and a spare monitor, to make sure they work. Should have done that first. lol.
This made it much easier, thanks a million.
This was so helpful dude, thanks man.
Best explanation ever. I bought it a F150 with the same pioneer radio and didn't know about the RC in. I followed your diagram and voilá, bingo.
Thank you sir.
I’ve looked at more than 40 videos on UA-cam and still don’t know how to connect the wires. This is by far the best video I’ve seen so far. However, I still don’t know how to route the wires appropriately to the front unit of my SUV.
you have to pull the interior floor pieces out.. start with the door bottom sills .. I didn’t show that because all cars are different.. I did show it in the video but the Jeep did not need anything removed
@@chriscraft77022Thanks for your quick answer Chris. The problem is that the camera is placed on the lift gate but one of the wires needs to be connected to the tail light so I have to figure out how to route the wires to make that connection and then re-route them again to reach the screen on the front of the car. So in essence is the same situation for everyone who has a SUV because the taillight is never on the lift gate, it’s on the body.
Thanks for what you do. Extremely helpful!
Love the way you explained. I'm a visual kind of guy, and your instructions were great.
Best damn how-to! Super helpful. Thanks!
Dude you rock! Just the video I needed.
I love this dude 1:05 "I crunched these up cause I got mad" yeah been there done that:/
so easily explained so anyone can understand what to do. love your diagram ...
Oh ma Gawd.....this video was MEANT FOR ME!! I'm SUCH a visual learner and people make fun of me because I need things broken down "potato-head-style" (meaning piece by piece lol!) but that is the ONLY way I can grasp most concepts. (Wish I knew that back in school!) Anyway, thank you SO MUCH for the tutuorial..!! Keep up the great work!
Cool video man, I really like that you even left the fail in it and you troubleshoot it , also a great thing is the diagram thing, that is an awesome thing too man, cool
thanks thanks thanks for the video man. step by step very informative
Great video, buddy. Thanks!
Finally a good instruction show how do it thank you bro for this video
Great video. Thank you!
Excellent video!!!!
Dam so simple. Love the video. You da man.
Nice job explaining the wiring.
Thanks man that’s the simplest and clearest explanation of wiring these $&@): reversing cameras I’ve seen - having trouble with mine hopefully your insights will help me figure the issue out.
I love this video u make it so so super easy
Thank s for the video it’s very helpful I got mine installed and it’s working now I just need to find the right spot to install the camera at the back
excellent. very thorough.
Awesome video. Keep up the great content.
Your video is very helpful, thank you so much
Great video dude thanks so much.
Thanks fam you’re a professor in disguise
answered my question. great video. thanks
nicely explained , thanks chris
Very easy informative video.thanks for Charing.
Thank u this is exactly what i needed
merci Chris,
tu m'as beaucoup aider.
So helpful thank you so much
Super cool
Awesome, thanks
finally after hours of video watching frustration madness i think this will work I'll let ya know
Thank you you are the best
I love it when it didn’t work the first time - adds to the suspense and final reveal, with extra sleuthing thrown in!
I had the camera in video in... it needs to go to RC in
Thank goodness for you..
Bravo super video
nice video
Ty so much
Perfect diagram
I wish I saw this video 2 days ago!
Thanx
Doesn't your reverse signal wire (RSW) provide +12vdc? Is there a need to tap the reverse lights if you have +12vdc from RSW. Your video signal wires ground should be sufficient for power as well as signal shouldn't it?
Yes, power is good
you might have to enable the video in the radio menu
Bro… thank you
If 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee does this work? Not have rear camera and no wires
Cool thanks. why wasn't it working exactly? Was it bad ground in the end?
i had the camera plugged in to VIDEO IN.. needed to be plugged to RC in...
Did you figure why you blew your fuse on the backup camera?
What camera did you get from OReilly's? Love the video. You explain the wiring part very well. I feel confident on this and future projects.
it’s the only square one at oreilly.. it still works perfect to this day
Amanda, these are also sold at Walmart 👍🏼
Does everybody on here not understand how to hook these cameras up okay simple easy as can be. your head unit there's a wire that says reverse it wired into the red wire into your RCA. there's red wire on the other end of the RCA cord has a red wire coming off of it connected to the reverse light wire .other wires red wire and black wire coming off the camera red wire goes to a constant hot or accessory connect that black wire chassis ground that is now the correct way of installment . camera will come on when the put in reverse . camera will also come on when you click icon on your head unit . when not in reverse simple
I am using a Roadtop MMI with my reverse cam. Connection is exactly as shown in the video. However, I am getting some voltage going to the reverse light every time I start my car. What could have triggered this? If I don't connect one end of the RCA cable red wire, I don't get this issue but the camera only stay on for a few second before the screen goes all black. In case the red wire on the RCA cable is actually trickling voltage back to the reverse light, is there a way to stop this?
a 50 cent diode
So I can ground directly to the reverse bulb ground wire?
yes
by the way how did you finally fix the camera after changing over?
I had the camera plugged into “video in “on the radio... it needs to go to (brown) RC in
@@chriscraft77022 I printed out your diagram to use with my BOSS BV9382NV double din, I bench testing all the components to help with the installation. My F-150 will have the tailgate handle camera and the wires coming out of it has a cylindrical plug which goes into the long wire plug and at that plug has a red, black, and purple wire, the cab end of the long wire has the same configuration on the other side as well. So using your diagram I can hook up the red to the reverse light, the black to ground , forget the purple on the tailgate side. On the cab side I'll have to hook the red to constant 12v, black to ground, and the purple to purple wire which is the reverse camera wire. That all seems to work ok, I wouldn't know until hooked up in the truck, so if nothing else, Thank you very much for your help.
What was issue that caused it not to work originally how did you fix
camera was in video in ... it needed to be in RC in
Thank God I came across this. The rest of the videos are trash. This is the one
I have a white screen. It was working well for about a year, but not all white screen when in reverse. Why is that?
I have no idea.. could be moisture on the camera..
@@chriscraft77022 I found out its a camera problem
Hey can you help me? We have video, but everything is appearing upside down
flip the camera that’s all I can think of
What he said
Chris, why in the end of the video it's a different camera? I am having trouble getting mine to work, checked my power and ground and it still does not work! I am also plugged into rc on the back of the unit. Do I need to get a different camera as well? Thanks for video, helped me out!
are your reverse lights coming on..make sure of that first
@@chriscraft77022 yes, I put my 12 volt checker at the connection and put it in reverse, reverse lights are on and there's power at the camera connection!
You're a lidd saver. And im a dumbass 😂
Yeah well can't do that to an a6 berline with full digital cockpit 😂
don’t know what that is
Y sure?
