@robertmallette5705 Nowadays, it's best to buy plug and play Android head units. Something like this: amzn.to/3DO4X8y I'm not sure if that is the exact fit for 05 Equinox, but you get the idea. Look around, and you will see plug and play head units for your car.
@@DarkDragonWing I need to put the reverse camera on my equinox, I really liked your work, you can give me the stripe with all the materials to be buying, thank you
Nice clean video. I'm getting ready to put this exact same radio into my 05 Silverado. However, I have a few gotchas like the Bose amplified system and On-Star system. I have to run an interface module like the PAC RP5-GM11 to retain my factory features (On-Star, SWC, Door Chime, etc). Your video has given me some ideas on how I want to tap into my reverse like wire and what to expect from the radio.
let's say this 2 years ago I had never touch car audio it's really easy match color to color threading the wire can be difficult but the installing part is simple read directions and you will get it it beats paying outrageous amounts of money for somebody else to do I know do installs all the time
Joel Murray I have two cars, but I was talking about my old 1998 Impreza. I installed a rear sensor, but no cameras and people who do this kind of stuff here in my country usually do it all wrong.
What an amazing video you are very smart man, I would like to be able to do to my car which is identical, that job without using the cameras or microphones, here in Tampa it would be difficult for me
Hello, best and most useful video since I want to install the same system in my car. Question: what make and model wireless camera did you install? Thanks.
+Francisco Reyes I use this one. It works good, but only for a few minutes at a time. Once it gets hot, it will get fuzzy.

Though wiring it might be some work. www.ebay.com/itm/Wired-CMOS-II-Night-Vision-Car-Rear-View-Reversing-Backup-Camera-Kit-/351609344872?hash=item51dd8cd368:g:ZSkAAOSwxN5WT-Vn
There's some very good useful info here but a lot of major do nots in car wiring. If your going to go through all the trouble to properly solder all your connections, please use shrink wrap on them as well. Electrical tape is not a safe way to go here. Be very careful when probing wires on any vehicle that uses a data system like the equinox shown. You can very easily damage a computer. Use of a relay would be a safer connection for the reverse wire. Use the reverse wire simply as the trigger and run a fused line from the battery or spare fuse at the fuse block. Again this vehicle uses a data system. Always use a grommet when going through sheet metal. The dum dum putty used will not stop the wire moving and shorting out. Some of these practices used can and will cause a fire eventually. If you must use electrical tape, use tesa tape which is much stronger and offers better insulation factors and will also handle the heat in a vehicle (tesa is designed for use in vehicles including under hood). GL on the next install vid. Hopefully you use better wiring practices than shown here.
I followed all your instructions and the radio works perfectly. However, after the installation was my singal light and my emergency lights stopped working. You said to use the yellow wire from the emergency light as the connection to the red acc 12volt wore. Please help me fix my problem
Thank you for the video. Looking at installing this radio and was wondering if you lost your door/warning chimes or what you did to retain them? Thanks.
+routedworld I actually didn't notice it. I might have lost it. I'll check again sometime. But even if I lost it, I don't see no use of the chime at all.
Very nice video! Helped a lot! I do have a question about the wires for the steering wheel controls. Where did you hook up the 3.5 connector up to? I didn't see it in the video when you was installing the new radio.
I have the same radio. It won't keep it's memory. The installer even ran a power from the battery and it still advances the station .2 every time it is shut off. I will be on FM 92.3 and it will advance to FM 92.5 , it does this on all stations
This video was very helpful. I have an 05 Chevy Equinox and we have been following the same steps as you! The only problem is that when we put it in reverse it changes to camera view and them when we put it back to "D" is won't change it stays on Camera with no signal. We seem to be having trouble with the brake wire. Any help?
+The DarkDragonWing Thanksss for the quick response! My car has 2 wires for the hand break. Its a light blue and purple wire. Which one should I use to connect it to the ground?
My camera is inverted, what I see to the left of back up camera is actually to the right behind the car..Is there a adjustment on the head unit to swap the image to the real placement of things behind you?
I was going to install an aftermarket radio in my 06 Equinox ls because the CD player no longer works and when I took it apart just to see what I would need I noticed there was a second plug in the stock stereo I don't see you addressing that here and I've been trying to figure out what it's for and if I have to rewire it can you give me any tips on this? It looks from what I can tell is if you just kind of pushed it to the side I assume it maybe it was from OnStar or something like that?
No, only when reversing. However, you can wire the power source of the camera to a wire where 12v is on all the time, like 12v from the cigarette lighter. And do the hard-wired instead of the wireless (hard-wired is better). Then you can view the rear camera whenever you want to.
I'm wondering....where are you located? I want the same receiver and Rockville backup camera installed in my 2004 Mazda Tribute. You do a awesome job and hoping you're in the nyc area so you can do mine. If not, could you recommend somebody as good as you to do the exact same installation?
So great man!! where can I meet you to make a service lke this to my Equinox?? I mean, have you a shop or place?? I hope you get the comment. Best Regards from Mexico!!

DarkDragonWing Do i need to do all this to update my radio? O thought it was matter of stiing it and getting that plugged .
Would this be the same for the 05 equinox?

this is a super video !!!!! but in the part were you got the three wires ..minute 6.20 .. were the brake wire came from??.....
+AmorosoEcuatoriano Thank you! You can just connect the brake wire to the ground. cheers
Tokyo drift was my favorite one
Excellent work. I am in the market for a double DIN head unit for my car. I will give this unit a close look.
What an amazing video you are very smart man, I would like to be able to do to my car which is identical, that job without using the cameras or microphones, here in Tampa it would be difficult for me
Wow you make it look so EZ...
You make it look so easy! If only I could find somebody to help me do this to my torrent D:

+Lucas Martínez Parra That is awesome!
+The DarkDragonWing Yeah! 100% Japanese car!
great work man really nice install.
Can you make a foot well lighting video for the Equinox? One that would be wired to the dome light would make you an Equinox God.
+Richard S I'll keep this in mind.
Fantastic work. Great detail in each step. Much appreciated!

AWESOME CREES!!
you are fixing anything . this is good I liked
nice video, wish I could solder without burning myself lol

Thank you
Nice job M hope to see soon video of the bmw well see u next time ta ta👍👍👌

Great Video!!!
Great work...I'll try it myself
Great videos, attention to detail is a1
Hello Mackey, Can/will you do an aftermarket cruise control DIY Fix (cable throttle version)?
Thanks.
+mirgani6 I might try that.
Can you do some inside cleaning videous on your every car?
+Kimi Hämäläinen I will keep that in mind
can u put some bumper on your mirage and spoiler and turbo i watched all the mirage episode .
Awesome job , keep it up !
Very nice video! Helped a lot! I do have a question about the wires for the steering wheel controls. Where did you hook up the 3.5 connector up to? I didn't see it in the video when you was installing the new radio.
I didn't use steering wheel controls (SWC). There isn't any button on the steering wheel that controls the radio.
DarkDragonWing oh ok I seen that you wired it to with the 3.5 jack
That one is the other one, it's the microphone. The SWC 3.5 female jack is left unplugged.
EXELENT VIDEO, CONGRATS!!!!
Well done Mackey. I love the wiring job.
You are not afraid the hole you have drilled will rust in future?
+BBB No, it will be fine I think. I put some rubber thing on it so that will do it.
great work. very clean.
Lit but I gotta admit that was one confusing job I'll be having a vid up on my channel soon
I'd like to ask you irrelevant question to this video, would you recommend me to buy a hybrid car (Toyota Prius) ? is it reliable and Fuel efficient?
+true call Yes, it is a good car. Very efficient
how did u get it to work and play sound without gmos 08 and with only one plug
very great job buddy I just got my 2 days ago. I wish I can install it my self bud don't have ur skills.good jod.👍
Spell check job**
Macky, have you tried installing an LCD assembly on a Mitsubishi Cedia 2009? i watch most of your lancer fix but did not see a video related to that.
No, I haven't done that yet.
Awesome job
I have the same radio. It won't keep it's memory. The installer even ran a power from the battery and it still advances the station .2 every time it is shut off. I will be on FM 92.3 and it will advance to FM 92.5 , it does this on all stations

We seem to be having trouble with the brake wire. Any help?
+Selena Ortiz I see. You can just hook the hand brake wire of the unit to the ground wire.
+The DarkDragonWing Thanksss for the quick response! My car has 2 wires for the hand break. Its a light blue and purple wire. Which one should I use to connect it to the ground?
+The DarkDragonWing Idk if this matters but even when the hand break is on and the car is on "D" the camera mode is still on without signal.
+Selena Ortiz No need to hook it up to the handbrake wire at all. Just hook it up to the chassis ground.
You hook the red one into your power wire going into your reverse lights not your brake light the reverse light and then just ground the black one
My camera is inverted, what I see to the left of back up camera is actually to the right behind the car..Is there a adjustment on the head unit to swap the image to the real placement of things behind you?
Ya just flip the camera around
Hi guys
Thanks for the video !
Whoah man nice SUV car a familys suv car tho i have a chevy silverado and you have a chevy too man great.
great job dude
Hi, can you install a Side view camera to this unit ??
Great videos tnx for share
do you remember the brand harness you used I need that one bought the wrong one
I was going to install an aftermarket radio in my 06 Equinox ls because the CD player no longer works and when I took it apart just to see what I would need I noticed there was a second plug in the stock stereo I don't see you addressing that here and I've been trying to figure out what it's for and if I have to rewire it can you give me any tips on this? It looks from what I can tell is if you just kind of pushed it to the side I assume it maybe it was from OnStar or something like that?
If it has no use before, I guess it still has no use now. I don't see why you have to use it?
Can You make rims?
+Jillis Bijsterveld I could buy the good ones, yes.
how long take to do it?
+Pedro Olivier About half a day. But for me it took almost 12 hours because I have to do all the filming.
What is that 3m double sided tape you use and does it hold against weather?
how much would this cost to get done professionally
where does the black 10 pin connector that says sirius xm connect?
+rockpig123 I don't see that wire on the Jensen VX7020
Where did you buy the wireless camera?
My oem wires are cut up I can't find the acc wire on my Equinox need help
+Virgilio Gonzalez Here ruclips.net/video/9AlqiTWePgw/видео.htmlm3s
+DarkDragonWing will this work without the car harness
Virgilio Gonzalez Yes, but it is 90% easier with the car harness.
can you still use the backup camera when the car is moving
No, only when reversing. However, you can wire the power source of the camera to a wire where 12v is on all the time, like 12v from the cigarette lighter. And do the hard-wired instead of the wireless (hard-wired is better). Then you can view the rear camera whenever you want to.
Nice vid,.
Sawadikhap,do you have a video for old school(really really old) 4g13 engine? Tq.
Hi. No I don't.
Ok tq.
Hey Dark I am trying to follow your video and do this myself since I have an equinox but mine is a 2005 will this still work for it?
I think it work check the wiring first if its diffrent check it on Google
what did you do with the other small factory radio cord hook up?
+Chu'Wei Carr (Shoppinjunkie) Just left them there.
i think you must put a backfire kit in your red car
It shows up in the mirror inside
I'm wondering....where are you located? I want the same receiver and Rockville backup camera installed in my 2004 Mazda Tribute. You do a awesome job and hoping you're in the nyc area so you can do mine. If not, could you recommend somebody as good as you to do the exact same installation?
+Amari Grant I'm in Minnesota, Columbia Heights. I don't do for others actually. I only make video. I don't know anyone else other than Bestbuy.
+The DarkDragonWing - that sucks 😣 well...you do a fantastic job. I enjoy your video, thanks
great video!
gj man greetings from turkey
If my 2008 equinox has OnStar, but I don't use it, what radio replacement kit should I buy? PAC C2R-Gm29? PAC RP4-GM31?
I don't know if you still respond to people's questions but where did you find the wiring harness? I'm having trouble finding one for my 05 equinox
Nice! More videos! :D
My stereo doesn’t automatically turn on game when I back it up. I have to go camera on the screen of the stereo
+Mackey Will you put lcd stereo radio in mirage?
+Marko Muštran No, but I might put one on the Lancer
So great man!! where can I meet you to make a service lke this to my Equinox?? I mean, have you a shop or place?? I hope you get the comment. Best Regards from Mexico!!
