I installed that exact same camera last weekend, taking it to the dealer tomorrow to get my factory nav unit flashed to be able to add this, thanks for the great video on it
@@NiceGarage I had to buy another harness to put this on my radio but other than that it was pretty easy, I found a video on how to wire one up which made it even easier.
Oh and I think I am going to try to mess with the camera a bit to try to angle it down some more so I can see my hitch, I will let you know how that works out
So I was able to angle it down a bit but I found that the camera isn’t centered and it seems a little off. I filed the bottom and right side of the hole down on the Bezel a little bit and that really helped with the adjustment. I also flipped the little screw into the bottom hole on the camera itself to give a little more angle, now I can see my ball a lot better and hooking the trailer up is a lot easier. Sorry this took so long to get done, when I got my radio flashed it messed it up and I had to send it off to get fixed.
Your tailgate has metal wire holding them up if you take one of them raising your tailgate half way up and wrapped around the tailgate lack pin your camera will be over the trailer ball be help when hooking trailer up..
I’ve got a license plate camera and it has no issue seeing the receiver and the trailer. I can also still use the camera while my tailgate is down, instead of it staring at the ground.
Good video however, the hole in the bed of your truck where you stuck the wire through is where the tool goes to lower your spare tire. If you ever need it, you’re gonna find it difficult to get that tool in there.
So you left the camera end (black, purple, red) wires unconnected. But connected the front end wires to the deck? I have the same camera, and a pioneer deck. I connected the front end purple to reverse trigger wire (pioneer harness) the red wire to accessories wire, the black to a black wire from the pioneer harness. I plugged the AV into the cam jack (AV IN) got all my settings on the deck correct. NO CAMERA DISPLAY. Any tips?
with my Kenwood all i did was remove the taillight splice my wires and run the video cord to the camera to my radio but mine wasnt a handle camera like yours
@@NiceGarage I found a new factory DVD deck,camera,bezel,wiring everything I need,I called GM and they claim it will require reprogramming, does this sound accurate?
Hello, I wanted to ask a question because I am already desperate, I bought a tailgate camera for my 2007 silverado, I connect it to the radio and it tells me that there is no signal, I don't know what to do or if it is some problem with the settings on the radio...thank you
If it has power, because I removed the camera that comes with the radio and connected it to the tailgate and it tells me that there is no signal, perhaps it is a problem with the adjustment of the settings in the radio of the resolution of the camera or that it came broken, I already know I wrote to Amazon and they will send me another one to check.
Nice helped me a lot. What size cable guard do you use? Also, can you please tell me what was the square opening size for the camera. The opening in the bezel before you inserted your camera.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y4PR7VM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Looks like its not available anymore though. I can tell you it still works, and works good.
Excellent walk-through on tailgate install to aftermarket radio
Thank you very much!

Thanks man. Was there an easy way to connect n to the head unit?

@@zackbell4045 yeah, I’m curious. I’d like to angle it down just a little now that I’ve used it a bunch hooking up the trailer.

I’ll try that, thanks
Hell yeah, maybe worth updating!! Nice tip man
Taking off the tailgate can make part of this easier, as well.
How did you wire it at the head unit?
I’ve got a license plate camera and it has no issue seeing the receiver and the trailer. I can also still use the camera while my tailgate is down, instead of it staring at the ground.
Did you get it from Amazon?
where did you get it bro?
You know...the tailgate does come off pretty easy

thanks for the video, it's very helpful, was wondering what monitor you would recommend for this cam setup. thanks again.
You mean that you’re not changing the radio?
@@NiceGarage lol, yes i meant radio
with my Kenwood all i did was remove the taillight splice my wires and run the video cord to the camera to my radio but mine wasnt a handle camera like yours
How did you wire this?
Will this work with any after market radio?
Any radio with a camera input
@@NiceGaragethanks. I just for 13 Silverado and am putting in a Apple car play double din radio and want a camera
What did the reprogramming cost?
I installed an aftermarket Pioneer radio, it plugged right into that.

Have you checked to see if the camera is getting power? I haven’t seen that error before

I could measure it but it came all assembled. May even me mounded in. I’ll check it
What if the bed needs to come off, or the tailgate...not fun
The camera unplugs, I just happened to wrap it in tape but I can take the tailgate off if needed
Do you have the link to purchase this same one?

Could you link me to the specific radio you have and are using with this?
I have the same one.. how’d you get the lines to show?
Read the manual for Green - Parking Lines - Default shows - Connect if you do NOT want lines to show
Dear ... does this Pioneer MVH-1400NEX work with the steering wheel controls? Thanks for your video... really helpful
The steering wheel controls do work but from the iDatalink interface.
@@NiceGarage so we need the radio plus an interface!!! Thanks for the answer
So on the radio wiring does the red hook to the purple and white wire on a pioneer
You said you were going to play with the wiring setup. Did u record that?
How did you get it into the console area from under the truck?
Sorry I’m just seeing this, somewhere closer to the end, you see where I put the wire through to the inside
How did you wire this????
You do realize you can take the tail gate off to give yourself more room between the edge of the bed and bottom of the tailgate lol
I can't seem to find this by the number on the box, could you post a link ? Thank you for the video.
Where u conecy the cable red black and purple please sir
How did you plug it in the back on the radio the red to the purple and white and then plug the yellow rca into the video inpunt or ?
Honestly I can’t remember but I made an update video on the wiring behind the radio. Hope you enjoyed the video, thank you
Hi brother just follow you tutorial but the image on my screen it’s on the opposite side , any advice , I appreciate thanks
Psst...tail gate comes off for easier installation.
Just lower the tailgate when backing up, camera should be facing the ball.
Is this just a plug and play or do I need to wire it up to?
How did you wire purple wore
I need this, but is it possible to buy this kit with a lock? Or can I buy the lock separately? Mine currently doesn't have a a tailgate lock
Great video! Thanks! I love the headunit. If you don't mind sharing the model number!
Thank you, MVH-1400NEX
How did you drill the hole in the tailgate?
The tailgate has drain slots in the bottom of it. No drilling necessary.
What model Pioneer did you get?

How did you wire it up ?
I’m going to make a wiring video this coming weekend
@@NiceGarage if you make a really good video you’re saving me 12,000
Why not just removing the tailgate would have been faster☺️ hay it worked so👍🏽
Thanks for the video and not showing any of the actual wiring hookup after all your work...lol....sheese....what a waste!
Silver-(RaYDough)
Made in China🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
I know
You didn’t even show how you hooked up the wires or what you connected the wires to. Bad video install
