backup camera install

SteveK

Yes, both reds go to the backup light power. One powers the camera when the car is is in reverse and the other tells the head unit to display the camera.

hey so i double checked all the wiring, and the ground.it is all in place and i should have it correctly? camera still does not display anything on my pioneer avh p1400

i used two different rear view cameras to plug in and they both dont display anything

can you verify if i am able to use power from the reverse light bulb wire
it is a green wire im assuming for power and black for ground?

That purple wire you're questioning from your head unit MUST be ran to the trunk to an orange wire on the left hand side to tell the head unit you're in reverse.

The camera turns on when I hit reverse it just doesn't display anything that's the problem.

The rca cables have a small red wire that you can use for the reverse signal. I think my problem is that the camera it self is either grounded bad or not getting power. I'm using a separate ground and using the green wire that is connected to the reverse light bulb. Should I be using the orange wire for power for the camera ????

Yes

I'm doing a backup camera in another 370 on Thursday I think. Want me to try to take pictures?

if you could take pictures of exactly the wires that you use to power the camera and ground that would be great thanks

On an aftermarket HU I'm not following why anyone is going to the kick panels for triggers.

I added a camera to mine within the past month and simply ran connected the RCA to the HU and the single RCA wire to the HU reverse trigger. Out back grounded the camera black wire and wired both the RCA single wire end and cam power (red) together to a reverse light power wire at the tail light. Easy piesie, 1.5 hr. job in total

In my case, there's already a factory camera. No need to run wires from the taillight, just a few feet from the kick panel.
