First off, McBake sounds like the absolute best weed dispensary in the world! Second, Thank you! I have the 2nd gen of the erapta back-up cam and this video helped me install it.
Thats entirely dependent on your vehicle unfortunately. Due to the different means being easier/harder on various models. For example in my toyota I needed to pull the rear seat cushion up to run the wire under the carpet to the sill plate properly. Once I got the wire to the trim by the door I just combined it with my rear speaker wires and followed them up to the stereo. But what panels you have to remove to do that will change from vehicle to vehicle. Best option is to trace your rear speakers if you have deck plate speakers. And try to combine it with them for the easiest path back to the stereo.
I know it's been a year, but if you can find a way to fish it through your seats without tearing things apart just push it under your trim and run it up the side of your car and find holes to run it through to hide the wires. I'm working on trying to install this in a car I just go and I'm more worried about where to hook it up. It's a hatchback with the plate mounted on the hatch. It's a project I've not tackled before.
Splice connectors arent bad as long as you buy good quality ones. The issue is the cheap ones have shoddy connections that cause mini shorts due to poor contact. I've had alot of them melt over time due to bumps causing little arcs that add up over the miles.
I had the new 2nd gen erapta camera professionally installed and it looks great during the day but at night the LEDs almost totally white out the screen to the point where I cannot use it at night. What's up with that!?
Thank u this is the only video that shows how to install when the plate isn't attached to the trunk I have a hatchback and I have it connected but my wire is on outside of bumper. Do I need to connect connect the little red wire attached to the long cord? I don't right now but it works yet my parking guide doesn't show up.
Ok- you didn't need the red wire power from the reverse lights to trip the head unit. I got that. What did you do? Did you cut that wire free and cap it off, or is it one of those situations where it doesn't matter 1 way or the other if it had the "extra" power input???
Just bought this camera and it is not working at all... by the way it is sold without a display monitor and the camera itself looks cheaper than one I bought before from China... so in my oppinion it is a piece of junk. the rest is up to you... mine is in the trash can.
What it let down. He doesn't really explain anything other than I'm putting something back together or putting the whole in something or mounting something. Bro if I wanted to know all those kind of things I would go to wood shop or some type of shop that had nothing to do with electrical appliances. In fact all you talk about is your car instead of the camera and how to wire it correctly. You don't have elaborate on those things over body work. But I'll give you a star for the effort. Not one time did you show yourself wiring that red wire and you didn't even explain why there's a jumper in the adapter right nor clear at all. I'm fucking lost because of you. So I'm going to figure it out myself
