Hi interested to install the reverse camera, after installing the camera in the rear etc, Where do i connect the rest of the wires and when selecting reverse gear how will the camera activate? Thx u
So let me get this straight, the installation is as easy as doing what you did just then, but in regards to the little red wires I would, (camera end) connect both red wires together. Feed wires to head unit (canbus included within head unit) connect red wire to 12v- on head unit. Canbus should automatically active camera on selecting reverse?
Wouldn't advise messing with the loom that runs into car as they are very tempremental as prone to breaks in wires at crease of boot closing and if disturbed you may find things not workimg,such as lights and electronics of boot but otherwise decent tutorial 👍👍👍
Il est de loin préférable d’utiliser un relais sur le circuit de la lampe de recul, puis une alimentation en direct de la boîte à fusibles via le relais, de sorte que l’alimentation de l’inverseur soit indépendante et ne génère pas d’interférences provenant du système de bus des voitures. Déclippez également le pare-chocs avant de percer pour vous assurer que vos capteurs ne se heurtent pas à l'arrière.
so where did you wire it to as I have wired mine to reverse light and works fine with engine off but soon as you turn engine on it will flickers they say because of the canbus, please help
Does your camera goes on when you reverse? Did you use a relay? Why didn't you connect it to the rear fuse box ? I am asking this as I have a zafira B 2011 and did exactly the same as you with my rear camera (exactly the same camera you got) but it only works a few minutes and then it switch off completely taking my reverse light with it! I have checked with an auto electrician and he didn't know the reason or how to fix it.
You should not wire directly to your rear light. Your car thinks that voltage is low and cutting it. You should visit your local electrician. Or if you have Op-Com you can switch it back on.
car audio solutions thank you. I have tried fitting a relay but with no luck. If you can add a video/ picture of how you connect it I would be greatfull. I checked with my local garage and electricians they fitted my double din but said they wouldn't touch cameras.
Why on earth would you need to fit a camera to a car that has enough windows and mirrors that you can just look out of. In a van I would agree as you have limited view. If that was the case why not go ahead and fit one to the front bumper as the owner of the car clearly cannot drive without its assistance. Some people ehh!!!
