Best place for wiring Rearview camera?

Maila87 · 12-15-2011, 03:42 PM

Where is the best place to connect rearview camera? Don't want to cut wires. The Rear reverse lamps don't have fuse on their circuit, so if camera will short circuit, the electrical managing unit will be hurted.

What wiring are you looking for?
Power wire?
Reverse wire?

The reverse is in the trunk in the harness on the left you want to look for a orange wire that has 12 volts when your car is in reverse.

A 12 volt wire use either the 12 volt accessory outlet wire or one behind the head unit.

Matt, you're saying you could use the accessory wire from the headunit to power the camera itself?

Which one?

cossie1600 · 12-15-2011, 10:54 PM

One for the reverse light, thanks

Maila87 · 12-16-2011, 11:09 AM

actually, what is best? Reverse or power? Any pics please? Will use it just for parking I guess, but firstly have to solve missing reverse pulse in wiring loom, or will have to switch to it manually.

The reverse wire tells your head unit to show the reverse camera image on screen. That orange wire is located in the trunk on the left hand side on the back wall in the trunk.

The camera also needs a power wire that you can connect to either the red wire of your new hed units wiring harness or the yellow wire of the 12 volt plug on the passenger side

So in essence, the camera is gonna have 3 main wires, power/ground/reverse lead.. good stuff. Man, I just learned something. Thanks Matt

That sounds like a good idea, actually.

Are you planning on plugging the camera in to the Auxiliary Video in of the factory system? If you are then please note that you will need DVD/Nav bypass because the image wont be displayed with the parking brake off or if the car is moving. Also you will need to select Aux input to see the camera.

Alternatively you can use my plug and play harness which allows you to use the factory system and the camera will appear when selecting reverse and you will have the factory parking guidelines that move with the steering wheel.

Brian's harness is great, highly recommended.

So, that cable comes to wiring loom in HU. Looking forward to install my camera

Im looking at getting this reverse cam: Crimestopper SV-6704.IR (SV6704IR) CCD Camera with Night Vision anyone had any experience with it?

My HU actually has a Reverse cam wire coming from it, so I just need to run that to the back of the car? I'm guessing that's a remote turn on, but not sure how it will know the car's in reverse... guess I need to pull the box out and check the manual.
