Bypass CANBUS to trigger reverse camera mode - All cars - Android Head units 

This has just saved me hours. In my case my Android 13 head-unit booted straight to reverse camera function on switching on the ignition of my 2013 Corsa VXR. I Removed the orange wire from the can bus box and it worked! Thank you

A lot of reading and watching then it lead me to your video. Problem solved. Thank you for sharing!

Very helpful video, I was able to use the info you shared to install a similar unit on a Hyundai Santa Fe, the video was the last part that wasn't working, and now it's all fixed 😁🙏

Thank you, thank you. I'd been trying for weeks to get my system to work and couldn't understand why not.

Thank you so much ! i spend hours on this problem and now everything is working fine thanks to you !

Hi Adrian, thanks for this post. I had te same problem with my Davilion Head Unit in our 2012 Mazda CX-5 and altough not original configured for Canbus connection, I ordered a set on E-bay with the cableset and de Canbus convertor. Almost everything, also the central knob works on the screen. The reverse camera wasn't working and with your trick, I got the reverse camera working. Problem was after leaving the reverse gear, that the screen went black and the Android Auto screen didn't came back for a couple of minutes. Then I remembered that I've added a "noise" filter to the rearview camera power wire. The camera trigger-signal dropped to about 5 volts and then slowly dropped further (probably caused by a capacitor in the filter). At some time after leaving reverse gear, the Android screen came back. So I added a 1Watt 180 Ohm resistor on the camera signal line (to ground) and the Android Auto screen comes back within half a second. Problem solved and again, thanks👍👍👍

Thanks for this trick! Been searching for hours what could have been wrong! Awesome solution thanks ^^

Thank you very much! I had the same issue with my 2015 Kia Sportage today and your video helped me. The brown cable coming out the canbus adapter was dead so i used another wire which has the reverse signal.

Thank you for the video, i will try on my android player later on. Thank you for sharing sir 🙏

hey there 😊 could you maby give me some advice, i have also installed android radio, by my ac is stuck at cold, so i dont have heating in my car, everything is ok with heating system because it works on original radio. do you maby know what could be the problem

Thank you for your helpful video, I had a Japanese imported vehicle and with the help of your video I was able to make the factory reverse camera work!

I have a corsa 2016,and camera constanly saying no video imput? Do you know why this is? Also keeps flashing up heating picture on the android stereo,which is annoying,but cant stop it. Any ideas please?

I have issue with mine too. I have mitsubishi lancer gt which comes with Rockford sound system. After selecting my car model in canbus protocols “Car settings” app appeared in apps which have all audio option which were on my factory headunit. After setting sound equalizer,surround ect..on car setting app it resets automatically doesn’t save settings. All settings on android headunit and its own Equalizer settings are saved and not resetting except canbus “Car settings” app. Can you help me with that?

There is a video where the person cut that brown wire from the canbus connector and used a butt connector to connect the 12v wire to both input and output, sending 12 volts to the canbus unit and the radio. Why did you remove the wire from the canbus connector?

Hi, I bought Junsun V1 6gb recently for Mitsubishi Pajero. It did not came with any Canbus. Some of my function were not working so I had to sent it back. Otherwise I liked the unit. Did your canbus came with original package? or had to buy separate?

Hi, thanks for that. How come there’s 2 brown cables there? Thanks

It could be something you need to activate via factory setting, or you have connected it to rear light power which is something that you do with non canbus decoder models... Theres an excellent video ..."How to wire reverse camera if your vehicle has canbus"by AudioVisionUSA - worth a watch.

Hi can you draw a diagram so i can see it better? I have the same problem. Thank you

Hello, I have a Chinese screen for a Mercedes CLA and my problem is that when I'm in the android menu the rear camera it's doesn't work buy if Im in the NTG menú (original menu) of the radio the rear camera works perfectly. In resume it's doesn't switch in automatic between OEM menu and Android menu. Can I solve the problem with the solution of this tutorial? Thanks

I think I have the same radio (just different brand, identical interface). I tried to bypass the canbus but I had no luck: the radio doesn't switch to the reverse mode. I tried both putting 12v or 6v to the pink wire on the back but it doesn't trigger the reverse mode. Do the radio also wants the video signal in at the same time in order to switch to reverse mode? Or are there any radio configuration to setup?

Thank you à lot

I have the same headunit as you from china.. It has a canbus and I got the supply for the camera from the radio headunit itself.. i basically condemn the power wire along the rca video cable

I have the same problem with my Suzuki Ertiga car 2018 .I managed to install the reverse camera to RCA rear AUX using pink colour wire as trigger wire but it doesnt go automatic whenever I shift to reverse.What seemed to be the problem? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I have a similar issue with my Honda and a TS10 headunit, the canbus isnt picking up the reverse. I have a feeling maybe its a manual car. I will be splicing the camera 12v into the reverse light socket and following your method to remove the input to the canbus for reverse 12v.

My unit turns on revers camera no problem, only some of the time.... It seems I need to hook up to the reverse lamp as well??? Someone please advise/help

Hi, with Hyundai Santa fe 2016, I have the same problem, only the different is that I have a original camera and I don't have the rêd wire coming from the back cam.

Are you using the factory backup camera? or after market?. If you are using the factory backup camera, can you please make a video of how to re-wire that?

Salut Adrian , am aceiasi problema cu Hyundai ix35, nu am inteles bine de unde ai luat alimentarea pentru firul maro. Direct de la becul de marsarier?

I know this is old post, but im wondering how to fix a low voltage for the car. The back up camera works when its not running. But when you turn the engine ON, it will say NO SIGNAL. Simply the voltage drop. Need help please

salut, am si eu o problema asemanatoare la un logan 2016 cu o navigatie de pe aliexpress, tot wiring-ul este facut, am semnal pe firul de reverse pe partea de trigger, dar navigatia tot nu face switch la reverse mode ( din comportamentul navigatiei in momentul in care mut pe marsarier, butonul de home devine inactiv/nefunctional si icon-urile din bara de sus dispar). Daca ai putea sa ma ajuti cu un advice? Mersi frumos

I thought i had the solution with you video, but still nothing, connected 12v straight to brown pin of head unit and it still wont change to reverse mode...Im out of ideas. great video though!

Which colour wires you remove from the can bus box

Hi i have the same problem you can send me a diagram that i can see it better thank you

I have a flickering issue with my reverse camera. Do you know what could be causing the flickering/fuzzy image?

Does anyone with a 2019 Kia Sportage know where to connect the brown cable so that the reverse camera can be seen??? Screen with android 13 from aliexpress.

I have installed dual dash camera on android player of Chevrolet cruze. Recording is fine with both the cameras. But when I put on reverse, it shows only blank screen. All the connections done properly.

Hello if i conect to power my unit triger the camera but it stays with the mesage no signal and a black screen with the parking lines , wich cables i need to remove to conect to the red one i am a little bit confuse .thanks

Ciao, da dove hai preso la corrente della retromarcia? C'è un modo per poterla prendere sotto il cruscotto?

Hi mate. Do you know how to turn of the rear sensors?

I have same canbus and when I connect cunbus to my car get crazy😂 maximum light and seat belt light starts blinks and a song signal for from the car😢 my is veloster hyundai

How did you determine the reverse lights power?

Hy Sir, how i can learn my canbus to my car?

For mine on my 2014 Mitsubishi lancer GT when I connect the original camera with the radio it just stays on the camera view I can’t get out of it anyone had this problem and found a solution?

I have same issue but not comfortable messing with the CANBUS, Is there a simpler solution? 😅

i tried what you did and it doesn't do anything. still says no signal.

Am urmărit filmulețul dvs. Am o unitate asemănătoare dar fără canbus. Am conectat totul conform instrucțiunilor dar totuși nu am niciun feedback de la cameră, nici măcar acel ecran negru cu mesajul "NO SIGNAL". Apreciez f mult dacă îmi puteți da un sfat. Mulțumesc.

I have the same problem but I don’t have that canbus module, it’s connected directly 😢

Thank you for this buddy but I am still trying to figure why mine is not working, I have attached the red wire from the camera to pin 3 I believe is Accessory wire at the back of android unit, at the back of the vehicle I have connected the video cable from the camera to the long cable connection and the connected the ground cable, red wire connected to reverse light. with all these but don’t get video, only trajectory lines. I have canbus and my unit is by T’eyes. Is there anyway you can help with diagnosis. Thank you again.

And 3.25 in isch is the problem if have canbus do not put the red on the tail light. You put it on the other trigger. Tada fix that problem the canbus do rest after and tell stereo in R 👌

salut Adrian am aceasi prblema si acelasi tip de masina nu pot conecta camera marslier, imi poti detalia te rog pasii de urmat ?

Hi, here is what happens on my radio Android 13. Installed on a Suzuki XL There is a yellow wire ,hot all the time. No wire to accesory, so I run a wire from acc wire and run it to a red going to canbus/radio wire Everything work BUT. Radio wont boot. If I remove key, eadio will turn off, when star car, radio will be on on radio app will start, where I shut down the car. If shut down car removing key, same thing, will come on the app the radio was. THEN: NO BACK UP CAMERA NO LOGO BOOT I caN see video from rear camera connected to the csbv connector and feeding camera with 12 volts. Watching videos in YouTuve seems like my radio has some missing setups. Radio Brand is...JAC

Vă salut! Unde vă pot contacta? Sunt nelămurit într-o privință. Vă mulțumesc!

Grüße aus Deutschland!

Sal Adrian te rog frumos îmi poți spune cum recuperez telecamera de serie de la Hyundai Tucson xpossible 2016 ca nu inteleg unde legi firul din spate cel roșu am încercat și tot nu funcționează poți să-mi trimiți un video în română poate înțeleg mai bine mersi frumos

Be careful, guys. Very Important thing: You can't join "in between" of brown Canbus wire, cause Canbus can be fried of 12v, it operates much lower volts! That's why he cut out a brown wire FROM canbus, making a bypass of it. Direct 12V trigger - maybe will work ok, not sure.

I’m trying to connect my backup camera to my new android system

Ciao Ho una radio molto simile alla tua, ho una Hyundai Tucson 2019 con retrocamera originale, la radio non fa niente quando metto la retromarcia, l’immagine non cambia e non viene neanche lo schermo nero , è come se non arrivasse il segnale di quando inserisco la retromarcia , hai qualche idea?? Grazie 🙏 😊

please show wiring diagram

Bună ziua, apreciez ingeniozitatea dumneavoastră, fapt pentru care dacă sunteți dispus, vă rog să mă ajutați cu o problemă. Am un Hyundai Elantra 2017 care a venit echipat cu camera de marșarier originală, am achiziționat un android la care nu am primit cablaj canbus deși am solicitat acest lucru. Cum se poate conecta camera revers originala fără cablu canbus? Mulțumesc...

I did a factory restore on mine and now my controls are backwards and I can’t restore the car settings lol

Diagram please.

If your car has canbus do not take power from taillight
