Rear View camera hookup questions


Recommended Posts

Ok, so there is the video cable that goes to the deck, got that in.

Then another cable that comes from the camera with red/black wires.

I grounded the black on the chasis near the back..

For the red wire i hooked it up to the remote wire going to the back amps.

Its not working... So do i need to bring the red wire all the way up front and hook it to the Yellow 12v constant from the harness? or what should i do with it?

The cam probably takes 250mA to half an amp of current, especially if it's got IR LEDs. It's probably more than your deck can put out on the remote wire. Use a relay to make sure it gets the current it needs

hope this helps. Dont' worry about the fuse calculator stuff, I just posted it for the wiring diagram

wire the red to your reverse lights. that way it comes on when you shift into reverse.

I have the Reverse signal wire from deck going into the reverse wire for car.

Broken link. Maybe i should just run it to the back battery?

you could wire it to that. or just tap into the light if you dont want to run the wire all the way up.

I Wired it to the battery.. and then grounded it to chassis. I got the yellow video going up to the deck and nothing is happening at all. It doesnt turn on, and on the Head unit it shows it greyed out like its not connected. Any thoughts?

just so u all know, i helped him figure it out. It was wired up right but the feature was never turned on correctly, it was set to off on the wire, not +12v like it was supposed to be so now its working for him.
