PLEASE READ THIS EXTRA INFO Thank you to those who have suggested an useful alternative to the switch wiring. If you use a SPDT switch like I had then wire the BLUE signal wire to the middle common pin. Wire the permanent positive to the I pin Wire the reversing positive to the O pin. Leave the switch in O position and the camera will come on in reverse. Switch to I to override and bring it on at anytime. This gives you the best of both worlds. Thank you to everyone that comments and gave helpful feedback 👍🏼😃

Hi Greg, thank you for the useful guide, I'm installing the same camera on my Ducato, following your fantastic diagram. Just for clarity, If I want to use the extra info above, do I need to take a positive line from the reverse light or intercept this signal somewhere else in the van?

Another easy-to-follow video with all the info you need to complete the task! 😊👍 Back in my shop days, we wrapped connectors and tied-together cabling with a bit of thin foam to keep lose wiring from vibrating in the nooks and crannies. There's nothing more annoying than chasing some rattle behind the finished interior... 😖

@fjspicer1 Год назад

Hi Greg another great video, I particularly liked the tip about the pipe insulation around the cables or wires to stop them rattling. Another one for you if you are trying to feed cables through a small space try pushing a piece of plastic coated curtain wire through first, it has enough rigidity to be able to push it through but enough flexibility to go round bends or corners

Great video Greg, appreciate the clarity in all your build series 😀. I managed to fit a rocker switch and also incorporated the reverse signal option as a trigger for the camera. The CANbus didn't appreciate the back feed through the reverse light wire, however I managed to overcome this by fitting an inline diode to the same to block the voltage from the activated rocker switch. Best of both worlds, cheers 😉

@NomaddUK Год назад

Hi Greg. That black metal beam above the seats is where I attached a 12mm strip of ply to attach the two pieces of 12mm to replace the plastic tray that we discussed. Great video, as always. I had that same video screen in my previous van and they are very delicate. The glass is very brittle. Another two things I have done in this van are a secret storage location for my gadgets and a slide out floor (Under the rear raised floor) that locks in two beams on the rear doors. It is exactly the same width as the distance between the wheel arches. I will then have a canvas to act as the roof and rear windowed wall. Easy extension.

I winced when you cut the plug connector to the brake light off flush. I would always suggest where possible leaving an inch or two as it's easier to connect 2 cables together than repin a plug, If you ever wanted to return to stock. You also could eBay the brake light with the connector, makes it easier for the next guy when you have moulded connectors. Good video though.😊

Great video Greg. I also have a silver Peugeot Boxer L3H2 and followed your original series 3 years ago when I did my van. Best colour, the inside looks like a space craft before insulation so brings back memories. I fitted the same camera and monitor but didn’t fit the rocker switch to start with. The van battery will eventually run flat if you rely on the monitor switch. So I fitted a rocker switch about a year ago - game changer far more relaxing not having to worry about the battery.

@GregVirgoe Год назад

Yes, I put my bench power pack onto it and was getting 0.1amp in standby so it would have a small drain to the van battery.

Hi Greg, I have really enjoythe way you present your videos on the channel. So practical and informative. In fact when I bought my 413 CDI 2005 Sprinter at an auction here in Australia about 4 years ago, I used a lot of your instructions from your channel to help me over a 2 year period to go from an old delivery van to a very practical motorhome for my wife Sue and myself. So thank you. When it came to rear view cameras, I used a Toguard 4K unit that I got off eBay and it is very practical for me as it has a dual mode display with voice prompts, so I can use it as, a dashcam, a reversing camera or whilst travelling I can use it with the dual display. Rear and forward. Whilst travelling I use it most as a rear view camera, and it works great. If I want to change the mode whilst driving I just issue a voice command like “ Show rear camera” or “Show both cameras” Kinda cool when you get bored driving out in the wilderness, just telling your camera what to do 😂 I am going to use your rocker switch suggestion. That’s very cool. Thanks Greg for all your help over the years. Keep the videos coming mate. Cheers, Doug (Mackay. Queensland Australia)

@stco2426 Год назад

Nice one. Really like the combined use of the ferrules and Wago. Not seen that before in auto, but I'll be doing the same. I also really agree with the switch for the rear camera rather than on with the reversing light. It means the camera can be switched on when towing and to check on things behind even when not in reverse. It also means the camera is on when manoeuvring forwards though your setup is also fast to activate, which I like. It also seems to have LEDs to illuminate; a real bonus! There are pros and cons of ignition powered v permanent live. I think it's useful to do a quick visual check when parking if on permanent live and this might be a case for a LED-illuminated rocker switch to help eliminate leaving the system on, or in sleep. I'm looking to install a rear camera on a van that doesn't have a high level brake, so will add both, due to design they will likely not be integrated as you have , which is a pity. I'm a fan of labelling the cabling, esp at the B pillar in your case. I've learned a lot here and thanks for the QR codes and links. Real bonus, cheers!!

@GregVirgoe Год назад

I think this way you can turn the system on at any time you need it when you are driving or stationary. It better than just on reverse only.

Another top video Greg. On my Ducato I did a similar system with a couple of differences. Mine is powered via the front 12V socket with a press on/off switch that lights up when on (only works when ignition is on though) and I added another small video camera hidden just above the numberplate pointing straight back, connected to the second video feed on the monitor. This enables me to use the system as a rear view mirror constantly showing the road behind. The brake light camera points directly down to my rear step for close parking. I can switch between the two videos on the monitor. I do like your idea of switching the system on independently of the ignition.

@GregVirgoe Год назад

Great idea using two cameras. You could use a piggy back fuse holder to give you a permanent supply to the switch.

Nice job, well explained and seems like a safe installation. Another option could be to wire the SPDT switch with the rearview unit in the center terminal and a switched igniton on one terminal and a constant power on other outer terminal. That way you'll end up choosing if its a iginiton switched device or a continous use device and it will give the option of moving the load from starter to house battery.

Thanks Greg, excellent instruction as usual. It occurred to me that wiring the reverse lights +ve at the back through a diode allows you to both have auto camera on reverse and through the switch without illuminating the reversing lights when you use the switch.

@GregVirgoe Год назад

You can simply use the SPDT switch and wire the reverse onto O pin and positive onto I pin then the blue cable onto the common centre pin. Then you can select which option to use.

@@GregVirgoe Absolutely that will work, but using a diode is easy and extremely cheap and makes reversing camera automatic when the reverse lights are on. I'd suggest a diode like the 1N5822 3A Schottky Diode for this purpose. Its legs will go straight into the the spring terminal blocks you used. Getting the polarity wrong means it just doesn't work, easy fix and no damage to the diode.

Good idea to have it on a switch I think. I needed some extra illumination when reversing due our unlit driveway, for simplicity I put these lights on an illuminated switch on the dash. No need to mess with the wiring for the reversing light, no chance of messing up an important safety feature and I can use the lights only when I want to.

Thats a good practical solution. Reverse lights are never very bright.

Great Greg. I have a Waeco system installed, but Heed a New camera. THE problem is to find a camera with a 6 pin connector. Or if I could find a rca to 6 pin adapter. But I te great to have a reverse camera. 😂
