In this setup, the "backup" camera is always on whether the car is in park, drive or reverse. No difference than a rear dash cam camera and no guide lines showing up to help you when backing up to park. If you want it to kick in only when backing up and include guide lines, you have to install it around the trunk area so you can attached the red backup wire to your backup light's wire. You can also leave it there inside the rear wind shield but you will have to figure out which is the backup wire to connect it to and possibly extend the wire to reach it.

This is fine if you want to do regular back of your car camera, which I have, but how specifically do you hook it up so it automatically kicks in when you put it in reverse?
You have to splice it into your rear taillight. The wire that controls your back up light specifically. Once you splice that wire into the taillight the camera will come on each time you put the vehicle in reverse
@@bluedragon6838 It would be best to attach the backup camera to your vehicle's license plate for parking safety. The backup camera is designed to be unaffected by external factors.
@@bluedragon6838 Since the back up camera gets its power from the reverse light, it only works when you put your car in reverse. That is, you will need to put the car in reverse when you want to see behind.
I installed the CarPlayBox, hooked it, and when I put the car in reverse, only the park lines appear on the screen. So, CarPlayBox is getting feed from the rear camera, but no picture. What do I do? Faulty Camera?
It sounds like there may be a problem with the camera or its connection. First, make sure that all cables are securely connected and the camera itself is positioned correctly.

Hi, are the guidelines options for reverse cameras only as good as the camera they come with or is it possible to install better apps to use with the camera in android?

Back up camera needs to be hooked up to your reverse light. You have to drill a hole in your trunk to feed the camera to your trunk and to your CarPlay device.
I understand that drilling a hole can be a bit of a concern. However, you can mount your reverse camera without drilling a hole using a strong adhesive. For more information visit carplaybox.co

I thought this was really cool but after thinking about it how the hell are you supposed to connect the reversing wires from way up on the inside of the rear view window 😮
It might seem tricky at first, but connecting the reversing wires for the backup camera isn’t as hard as it sounds. Here’s how it’s typically done: 1. Wiring Path: You’ll need to run the wires from the backup camera at the rear of your vehicle to the front where the CarPlayBox is mounted, usually by tucking the wire along the edges of your car’s interior trim. 2. Connection to Reverse Light: The backup camera connects to your reverse light to activate automatically when you shift into reverse. This involves tapping into the wiring of the reverse light, which may require accessing your vehicle’s tail light assembly. 3. Mounting: The wires themselves can be hidden by routing them through the car’s trim panels, ensuring a clean look. If this sounds challenging, you can also have it installed by a professional to ensure everything is hooked up correctly. For more detailed information, please feel free to visit carplaybox.co or reach out to us at contact@carplaybox.co for solutions.
