Honestly it's probably best if you don't already have the tools. The price to buy that gear would probably be the same as the cost to get a pro to fit it.
Note : You dont need to tap into the reverse light if you have any of the new Chinese Dash Screens. You can just tap into the G5 wire that runs from the Canbus. That will give you your 12V power
What I don't get is how to get the wire to the front? He is putting the wire in the bottom of the boot? But how to open your door? Where does the wire come from? My boot door is opening up into the air (I don't know how to better describe this)?
You have to possibly remove the felt panel from the boot lid to run the wire over to the boot hinge. Zip tie the wire to the hinge leaving some slack. Then pull the lever for your back seat rest and feed the wire from the trunk to the inside of the car and route it underneath the bottom trim panels by the door.
@@ace1007 I posted for an auto electrician on Airtasker. Very satisfied and good price. He had two bags full of tools. He mounted the reverse cam perfectly dead centre and discreetly under an overhang above the number plate. Ran the cam wiring to the head unit through the cable that unlocks the boot. Completely hidden. Well worth the money to have it done professionally. Do not recommend DIY.
I've installed four (two for myself, two for others) and it really depends on the make/model of the car and how easy things are to locate, route and move. Some can be done in 30 mins, others a lot longer.
Does it always have to be the tail light splicing? What if you connect directy to the battery or a secondary fusbox and have a toggle switch in between for option to turn on the camera?
Exactly, everyone has internet on their phone, a camera stuck on the windscreen should trigger a view in the app whenever we need it. We wouldn't have to fiddle with cables etc.
I have led lights on camera, when I plug camera video cable to car multimedia head unit, car lights are on. camera working only in reverse mode with ignition, but lights not turning off when turning ignition off / removing key. what am i doing wrong / how can I fix it? thanks
Sounds like you have hooked wire to a constant power wire that stays on all the time even if car key is removed from Ignition. You have to hook to a car power source that is only live when key is on acc
On most cameras there a small seperate wires located on the video feed wire. Usually if you cut one, it will hive you lines. And if you cut the other one (if there a two) it will change video resolution or output type.
@@ratnavenkat7623 Complete beginner, no idea what I'm doing so please forgive my ignorance. Would wrapping the wires together and covering with electrical tape work?
Great video! Helped me give up on doing it myself due to my lack of ability.
Got it sorted now😂
Try to make the music louder. I could still here the voice
Whoops😂
@@supercheapautotv Happy to work with you guys here in Brisbane
I know it sounds the same, but the correct spelling is *HEAR*
@@runescaper1333 lol thank you. I blame auto correct :)
@@runescaper1333or I went off my rocker because the music was so loud :)
Now I can show this to someone to do it for me lmaoo
That's what friends are for right?
Do not install the camera first, make sure the angle is right first.
Good advice
I think I'll just hire someone....

Top video, straight to the point and easy to follow.
Can I trigger the reverse park sensors by tapping into the tail light?
Yes
Use a t-tap makes it way easier
Yeah the ole scotch locks
Easy thanks man
Glad we could help
you could also just wrap the wire tight to the other wire, then use rubber electric tape and wrap it real tight.
Simple! Awesome !
Already have a reverse camera connected to my head unit, I got this for the front as I can’t see the front so well from inside my Nissan Serena.

When you say Chinese dash screens, is that just any recently made headunit?
nah i don't need a reverse cam.. bye
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Great video but that screen looks a bit 2004 not 2024
The longer I’m into this the more I want to give up installing mine 😢
Get some one who knows what he's doing wouldn't like to make a mistake doing all that be getting some one to sort it later anyway
Great video, but that music is far too loud!
is it possible to connect it to the screen already in your car?
I don't believe so.

If your stereo head unit has an r-cam RCA port then you should be able to hook the camera up to it, as long as your camera and stereo are compatible.

Exhaustingly complicated I’ll pay an installer
Amen
Im about 2 hours in, can confirm its not easy or an hour job
I'm getting the wireless solar one..😢

Yes.
That will work if you want to be able to look behind while driving.
Just won't automatically turn on when you are in reverse
Nice music video
Great video but intrusive music - either no music or MUCH lower volume
Why use a test light to find reverse light wire, when you have a nice convenient trailer plug.
Music isnt loud enough. 😄
There should be a app for displaying the câmera...it would be much easier...

After watching this video I have no problem paying my guy 100$ to do this.

@@pyromaniac354 thanks
I will try it.
I put the camera on but it doesn't show the lines. How can I display the lines?

What if I want the camera to stay on at all times?
Wire it to the day time running light
Why do we need to solder the camera cord? Can’t it just be covered in tape?
Said with another words: Forget the shit! Or let some pros mount it for you.
Can i eat the camera ?
I think he means, call him.
Hey! I didn't come here for the music! 😡
Wellp guess i'll be hiring a professional
Take out the music!
Music what's going on how aerating ?????
To make sure that viewers can only make out every other word, just add annoying soundtrack.
The music ruined the video.
That’s not how to solder. “Tinning” is covering the cooper wires in solder. You should never carry the solder on the soldering iron.
The soldering iron tip must be tinned. I think he meant that. You could also tin the wires and this will allow the solder to flow more freely.
Lol. He did the proper technique actually, that's what you're supposed to do!
Oh dear
Just solder into your ignition wiring, yikes, no thanks!
I agree, would you say there's another way around it i dont want to stuf up my ignition wires :)
Yes you can just crimp the wires together and apply heartshrink over it 😊

i just joined in the fuse box
Did that work just as well?@@turoterore8978
