Finally...... a video on this car stereo with commentary and actual helpful information. Every other video has no helpful info and/or some insane music that makes you want to put your head through a plate-glass window. Thanks for a decent vid
I was able to test my camera before I installed it by applying 12V from an old ac/dc adapter I had laying around to it and hooking the yellow cable to the back of my TV monitor (once I changed the source to the video input) it worked and I knew it should also work on my head unit. And now is a good time to mark with a sharpie which end is up on your camera, so you don't mount it upside down. So to answer the mystery of the pink wire. The radio (head unit) is looking for a +12V input which lets the head unit know to switch the screen to view the camera. The super long yellow video cable goes into the rearview video input and the little red wire hanging off of it must be spliced into that pink "parking" control wire. ***Hint: if your muffler is on the right side of your car you'll want to run your wires to the left side just to eliminate the possibility of the wires melting on the muffler in case they dangle.***Then once you've hidden that cable under all your door molding to the rear of the car you'll need to get access to your taillight (a cheap $3-$5 multimeter from Harbor Freight would come in real handy about now), start your car, put it in reverse, apply the parking brake (if it works) or get a friend to hold the brake on while you go around back to discover which lamp is lighted on the taillight. Mine had all the wires going into one connector so I had to probe on the back to find the 2 wires that gave me a +12V reading on my multimeter. On my Highlander a white wire with black stripes was my negative and a red wire with black stripes was my positive. You can now turn your car off. Take the black and red wire that came with your camera (assuming it is like the one I bought). The black wire goes to the negative wire on your reverse light and the red wire goes to both the positive wire AND the little red wire hanging off of other end of the yellow video line because the +12V needs to feed all the way back to that pink wire on the back of the head unit to let it know to show you the camera's image. For a couple more hints: My camera came with a hole saw, after it went through the plastic I then needed a bit a little smaller than the hole saw to reach about 2 inches further back and drill into the 1/2" or so thick Styrofoam behind it so I could run the wires all the way through the bumper (I taped the ends to a wire so only one connector went through the hole at a time and ran the wire behind the bumper so I could reach them) and pushed the camera in the hole with the up mark up. My taillights are attached to my rear quarter panel so in order to get the wires run to the outside I took the taillight off, hooked up my wires and ran the power and video connector wires through the big holes not used for screws or other taillight fittings down toward the ground behind the bumper. I attached the connectors to the camera, pulled up the slack and reattached the taillight to hold all those slack wires in place behind the taillight.
Good day sonic I have an issue with reverse camera I also table test my camera but when I Trigger it to the pink wire the monitor is saying reversing but the monitor is just showing a blue screen same as your aux on your video hope you can enlighten me regarding this issue.. but when I supply power to the camera the light did not lit up
Anthony Oliva there are 2 posibilities , camera is not properly conected to the right port or wire harness doesent have the camera option on an iso conector , or camera doesent work, you can try the camera to a smart tv or connect it to a dvd to see if its working
Hey David thanks for your input on the Pink Cable to be connected to +12 V of reverse light to switch the unit on reverse camera input. That puts the unit on CAM IN port showing the Reverse Camera. The Video cable which comes with the Camera has a Red cable tails which can be used to connect that +12 V from reverse light/Camera Power source to trigger the Reverse Camera Input on the stereo.
People are commenting about the remote. If you have an SUV or truck and are hanging in the back listening to music, you dont have t run back to the radio to change track, volume, station, etc....
Pls help me with this unit 7010b car mp5... my USB slot doesnt work. But when i plug in the cellphone onto this slot, it works... What will i do? what would be the remedy of this problem?
I know this is old but I hope you know by now that the wheel options are to map the buttons on your steering wheel. Select a button on the screen then push the corresponding button on the wheel. Also, Micro SD is a form of TransFlash. Though micro memory stick from Sony is also TF, it won't fit. Anywho, I think someone who isn't technologically impaired would have given a more complete, better review. Sorry, just being honest.
Is the input to the steering wheel control only 1 wire even ?? Is it only input 10 ?? My car already has control on the factory steering wheel, I made the connection in the input 10 but I can not configure the buttons. When set, all the buttons on the steering wheel do the same command or after giving OK the MP5 performs commands alone without me pressing anything. Do you know how to operate the controls on my original factory steering wheel ??
Two Questions: 1- Can you hook it up to the controls in your steering wheel? 2- Can you use the usb port to play music if using a cable that goes from usb to aux into your phone?
To set new boot logo, you enter settings and enter under logo 1983 ent. You can select different car manufacturer's logos. How can I add more? Do you happen to know? Thanks in advance!
Hi, there is screen mirroring function on this DVD? it means that if I connect my iPhone to USB port on the DVD, then I can mirror the display on my iPhone to the DVD screen? Thanks
where does the wire go that comes off the Jack that plugs into port 1 for backup cam, is positive or negative? do connect to a positive source or negative I'm confused can someone help?I have the license plate camera and do I connect to backup or brake lights?
I have the same but there is no RDS for the radio Wich mean that you will never see the name of the radio station displayed on the screen which for me is very annoying. Also I would like to know if there's any firmware upgrade possible. I bought it on a very famous website and the seller told me that the device was running Android 6.x so I would like to know how to install software on it. Thanks.
Hey Dave, quick question, does this have a feature to change the background or loading screen? I recently ordered This from Ebay... it looks like this product you are reviewing. 7'' Double 2 Din Bluetooth Car Stereo Radio Touch Screen MP5 AUX/USB/FM Player
hey there i hooked it all up no problems was putting it in dash getting ready to put the dash back together and lost my sound deck still lights up just no sound everything was shrink tubed so no bare wires any chance this deck has a mute button i can not find it
anything that has 12V+ when the car is in reverse, so you can attach it to the + line of the reverse light, which is why the wire is added to the video cable. Attach one of that little wire to the pink, the other to the reverse light + cable. Some cars may have something that activates in the fuse box but if not, you can just pull power from the back of the car via the reverse lights.
My stereo which is exactly the same as the stereo in the video but mine keeps flashing from reversing back to the home and then back to reversing and then back to home. does anyone know how to solve this problem. This also happens when I'm in first gear as well so I can't use it at all atm

I have the same problem. how did you solve it, will you help me
I don't know why no one is talking about the boot time (~13 seconds) wait. My 7018B will not display backup camera before this time. Frustrating. I barely use the camera because of the long wait.
Hi Tom I installed headrest monitors but the video shows only on either the head unit or the monitors. I cant get the video to show on the headrest monitor and the head unit at the same time. Do you know how to solve this?
Hi. I got mine too and working fine. But when I play movie from USB. It plays but showing a message "Warning! Viewing while driving is strictly Prohibited. Parking brake must be Engaged to view". There is no parking brake cable available in the unit. Do u have any idea how to bypass same. Thanks in advance.
hi mate, just installed this radio but I'm having issues with my rear camera , basically when the engine is off and I put car in reverse the imagine is perfect but when the engine is on the reverse imagine keeps flicking? I have installed both power wires to reverse wire (the camera red wire and the yellow connector with red wire)
sounds like you need to use a rely as you're getting interference. Use a ground connection and 12V+ from the reverse light to close the rely (basically a switch operated by a 12V source). Basics of that can be found in a similar example such as these backup lights video: ua-cam.com/video/ZVG7X-ae298/v-deo.html Replace the aux reverse lights with your wires for the camera.
Is there any way this unit 7012B work the GPS. There is a possibility to change the firmware? I bought this device with you and now I see you don't have GPS. Thank you.
Mine says it comes with GPS but there is not outlet in the back for it. One website indicates UBS port adapts it to GPS ...so I would like to know how to do that
any way to get the memory settings to stay if you have to replace the car battery? it's a real pain to have to re-enter all the presets and what not :-(
Ah ok.... I need a radio that can set the subwoofer to Low Frequencies only, and if possible adjustable EQ for front, mid and sub. My Kenwood is good, but the processor is slow.
Sounds like a defective unit, consider returning for a new unit. Pink wire connected to 12v+ while in reverse only should trigger the radio to switch to reverse camera mode. You may also try adding an automotive relay in line with the reverse power signal as some cars have a pulse of power even when not in reverse which fools some camera systems.
The LED looking bulbs in the 4 corners of backup camera should not be light outputting bulbs but rather they absorb all available light from the surroundings and it uses that light it has taken in to light the picture it shows back on the screen. This is more night vision than lighted vision. The fact these actually light up is crazy stupid.
Hello Sonic,i installed this radio. When I starts the engine a blue screen with in the left top corner the word "reversing" appears. What I'm doing wrong?
saludos, tengo un problema con mi reproductor mp5 player 7018b, toda la pantalla se invirtio y no se como colocarla de nuevo como va, ya intente por todas opciones de menu y nada. alguien me puede ayudar?
Hi All am having this radio installed in my car. It was working fine so far. i face the below problems and i tried getting help online.. but no luck as no where i am able to see.. Something i have changed in it and am not sure how to get back. New Problem. 1.When i on the system it shows me a white screen showing at the bottom "Prease Press Center of '+' ". when i do that there is a + symbol on the screen which moves from top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left , center and keeps continuing the same. I am not able to go back to the main menu. 2. If i power off the radio, the reverse camera working fine (as it should). If radio is on.. it still shows the white screen with + during reverse. Existing from the time of installation. 1.when i on the car, there are two pulse of current will flow to the radio, one is for the ignition and other is after starting the car....this one behaves the way like its getting on two times all way till the main screen. any help is really appreciated..
Hema Bairavan Venkatraju when you see the x press in centre of it, thats calibration of a screen . its hard with technology in india? How do you have cars there ? :))
Looks like you have gone in to Calibration Menu. Looks like wiring has an issue. You should have Yellow cable which should be connected to always on +12 V and Red cable to Ignition On.
Hema Bairavan Venkatraju the "+" means it wants to calibrate your touch input, so your the center of the crosses as they appear and it will allow you to continue setting up the device.
Sonic Orb Studios I have tried and succeeded but the head unit display should be off so the second headrest screen could be on. how can it happen please let me know ..
My radio comes on fine and it plays and everything seems all good to be true, but as soon as I start driving off it starts glitching and goes funny.. and once I've stopped again it goes back to normal, has anyone else found a solution for this?
For EVERY BLUETOOTH CONNECT QUESTION,.......... Go to BT on phone & radio......Pair.......then type '' 0000'' Ent.( ON PHONE ) ! BAMM.....Your Connected.
my bass and treble option doesn't show up when I press the large button. granted I haven't messed with it alot but I do know bass treble was not there. I used to be into bass offs and iasca competition so I know IL hitting right button. anyone else had this problem n how do I fix??? ugh sounds like poo lmao
this radio sucks to many problems backup camera does work with reverse least not automatically and doesn't work in port 1 as the book says and customer service sucks can't get a response with any issues you may have,in short save your money and by a good quality American radio and backup camera possibly separate from each other.I don't recommend anyone buy this not worth the money or time installing it.
Finally...... a video on this car stereo with commentary and actual helpful information. Every other video has no helpful info and/or some insane music that makes you want to put your head through a plate-glass window. Thanks for a decent vid

Connect the pink wire to one of your reversing lights, it will then only power, & switch automatically to camera when you select reverse
The Wheel Setting is really for the Steering Wheel volume control!
good to know, thanks!
Does anyone know how to wipe and replace the software? I personally find the interface ugly.
Hi sorry to bother you just wondering if you figured out how to upgrade software on your car stereo

Hey Sean Adler ,would you know how to wire up the steering controls?
Can it be controlled over the steering wheel? Is it possible to play music and video with a bluetooth connection from the phone?
Two Questions:
1- Can you hook it up to the controls in your steering wheel?
2- Can you use the usb port to play music if using a cable that goes from usb to aux into your phone?
1 - Not sure
2 - That's an unsure as well, it works best with a thumb drive so if the phone can mount like a thumb drive it may work.
To set new boot logo, you enter settings and enter under logo 1983 ent. You can select different car manufacturer's logos. How can I add more? Do you happen to know? Thanks in advance!

I want to put a subwoofer on it will it sound alot worse than my sony unit

anything that has 12V+ when the car is in reverse, so you can attach it to the + line of the reverse light, which is why the wire is added to the video cable. Attach one of that little wire to the pink, the other to the reverse light + cable.

hi mate, just installed this radio but I'm having issues with my rear camera , basically when the engine is off and I put car in reverse the imagine is perfect but when the engine is on the reverse imagine keeps flicking? I have installed both power wires to reverse wire (the camera red wire and the yellow connector with red wire)
sounds like you need to use a rely as you're getting interference. Use a ground connection and 12V+ from the reverse light to close the rely (basically a switch operated by a 12V source).
Basics of that can be found in a similar example such as these backup lights video:
ua-cam.com/video/ZVG7X-ae298/v-deo.html
Replace the aux reverse lights with your wires for the camera.
Hi TOM TOP can i use the power wire from my old radio disc changer. instead pink wire?
the pink wire needs 12v to it while in reverse gear only, this triggers the radio to go into backup camera view mode
have you tried installing a car logo on the start up/power up menu? How do you do it? thanks.

yeah same problem!
have you tried Android Auto or Apple Carplay?
Your interface is so much different than mine
this video was uploaded quite a while ago, im sure the software and such has changed.
any way to get the memory settings to stay if you have to replace the car battery? it's a real pain to have to re-enter all the presets and what not :-(
apply 12v to the radio power leads and then isolate it from the car wiring. At that point you can remove the car battery.
thak you for video David

Hello my friends. How can I save the date and time information ?? I adjusted it, but when I turn the radio off, the date and time are reset.
it should save as the battery from the vehicle always provides backup battery.
I think the + 12V wires were inverter binder. The memory is in the car key. Thanks
can i pair wheel controller on this 7010 B ?
can you navigate and listen music too? i have the one with navigation feature.
not sure, sorry
My radio always i turn it on write reversing but i dont have connected the pink wire? Please help.
Sounds like a defective unit, consider returning for a new unit. Pink wire connected to 12v+ while in reverse only should trigger the radio to switch to reverse camera mode.
You may also try adding an automotive relay in line with the reverse power signal as some cars have a pulse of power even when not in reverse which fools some camera systems.
can you connect your radio with PC and copy the files from radio and send me radio files?
Why when I click on aux it's just a blue screen ?
can we connect the steering wheel controls to this device ?
Some say it does, check the manual on the website. Link in description
thank you
The LED looking bulbs in the 4 corners of backup camera should not be light outputting bulbs but rather they absorb all available light from the surroundings and it uses that light it has taken in to light the picture it shows back on the screen. This is more night vision than lighted vision. The fact these actually light up is crazy stupid.
Hello Sonic,i installed this radio. When I starts the engine a blue screen with in the left top corner the word "reversing" appears. What I'm doing wrong?
not sure on that actually, My guess is you have a video wire sent wrong somewhere, the back panel is not 100% clear so refer to the manual.
The pink wire is the switch wire for the back up cam! When that wire sees 12+ the stereo switches to back up cam mode.
Does it have GPS or can you add GPS in it?
No gps or additional option for it that I'm aware of
Are the RCA's in the back outputs or inputs?
Yes, i'm also interested to know if we could put a dvd player with this head unit

Do you know how to update the firmware?
I'd assume it's similar to gopro cameras and such. Get the firmware file on an SD or memory stick and go to the prompts on the radio display.
Hi Tom What about connecting an external lcd screen
Tom? I'm Dave lol
Yes it supports an external LCD for multiple uses with the output jacks on the back. See the manual on the tomtop website.

2. If i power off the radio, the reverse camera working fine (as it should). If radio is on.. it still shows the white screen with + during reverse.
Existing from the time of installation.
1.when i on the car, there are two pulse of current will flow to the radio, one is for the ignition and other is after starting the car....this one behaves the way like its getting on two times all way till the main screen.
any help is really appreciated..
Hema Bairavan Venkatraju when you see the x press in centre of it, thats calibration of a screen . its hard with technology in india? How do you have cars there ? :))
Looks like you have gone in to Calibration Menu. Looks like wiring has an issue. You should have Yellow cable which should be connected to always on +12 V and Red cable to Ignition On.
Hema Bairavan Venkatraju the "+" means it wants to calibrate your touch input, so your the center of the crosses as they appear and it will allow you to continue setting up the device.
there is reset botton on the next of tf hole
brings me back to the same calibration screen that doesn't recognise my touch :(
Does anyone have the codes for choosing the logo settings?

yes
Sonic Orb Studios I have tried and succeeded but the head unit display should be off so the second headrest screen could be on. how can it happen please let me know ..
My radio comes on fine and it plays and everything seems all good to be true, but as soon as I start driving off it starts glitching and goes funny.. and once I've stopped again it goes back to normal, has anyone else found a solution for this?
sounds like a grounding issue or power ripple, may want to making sure your ground connection is good

nope
it does

can you connect your radio with PC and copy the files from radio and send me radio files?
No, it does not offer internal storage, you will need to put media on a flash drive or micro SD card then put it into the radio.
It have internal storage take a look.
my unit would not allow me to import music or anything into the radio itself, it needed to read from a card or USB device only.
yes but some files for radio to work normal are on radio if you connect it with usb to PC.
can this support .lrc (lyric file) ??
sorry, not sure. My guess is no though
Can I watch like a UA-cam video on this radio
not on this one
Every time I turn the car engine off the date and time resets, anyone else have this issue and any fixes?
sounds like a bad connection to 12v when the ignition is off, or possible bad backup battery in the radio
@@SonicOrbStudios Yeah need to get the red and yellow wires swapped round.

Ardit

I used to be into bass offs and iasca competition so I know IL hitting right button. anyone else had this problem n how do I fix??? ugh sounds like poo lmao

Be sure you have your FM antenna securely attached at the back of the radio. It's usually a large barrel connector.

default pass is either 0000 or 1234
this radio sucks to many problems backup camera does work with reverse least not automatically and doesn't work in port 1 as the book says and customer service sucks can't get a response with any issues you may have,in short save your money and by a good quality American radio and backup camera possibly separate from each other.I don't recommend anyone buy this not worth the money or time installing it.
GPS?
not on this model that Im aware
