Where did you get power and ground for the reverse camera, in the trunk?

I took the tail light off and tapped at the plug cluster since i could actually verify the wire color being a "cream orange" color. I then just used a metal self tapping screw into the body under the tail light.

did you go with the wireless or wired set up?

Is the cream orange the reverse light wire?

I went with the wired. Getting as much done as I can today and gonna install tomorrow night hopefully.

The ebay one I used that I linked earlier had an "ok" image at night. Lot of noise, as is to be expected.

If you really want a good night signal, you may want to consider upgrading the reverse lights to some bright LEDs to illuminate the rear of the car better- this should give the cam more exposure, which will lower the ISO and eliminate some of the noise (hopefully).

I was thinking about that.

someone on the forums had modded their ebay OEM versa reverse light to something better i just cant seem to find the post.

Has anyone had an issue with their camera sending like a ghost signal their head unit making it switch screens when its not on? I posted a review of my camera but no one has commented.

Im installing mine tonight so Ill let you know if I do.

Did either of you need to use a remote line to let the HU know you were in reverse? Did you use the same wire you used for power for the cam?

And I remember seeing that post as well, someone basically took this camera holder, pulled out the camera, and put a pioneer or other one in it so it had the nice OEM look that this one does, but without the crappy cam.

Cbtech 04-09-2013 03:42 PM

My pioneer deck recognizes the signal once power is sent to the camera. There was no need to wire anything to the deck other than the rca
