Subaru Crosstrek front camera part2 

Actually it was pretty easy, well a bit contorted under the dash, etc but is pretty much plug & play. long story This install frustrating because when the frac fuse blew there was an unrelated vehicle fuse that controls the backup lights also was blown. ( It was NOT either fuse labeled backup, 'LAMP IC' I think) It was me when trouble shooting the no rear camera once frac installed that frac fuse was blown. Cars camera was working but never looked at rear of car, but the backup lights were not working and the frac uses that as signal. Trying to trouble shoot is when frac fuse was blown. Which had us chasing our tail...because replaced frac fuse and it still didn't work. Removed the frac and put radio back to stock camera worked? Next day is when I traced out, realized no signal and went to rear of car and saw no backup lights. Tested ALL fuses discovering one bad fuse (not blown visually) that caused all issues. Nothing due to the Frac harness-all me. Its possible I somehow caused but honestly almost believe the no back up light was a pre-existing condition, hooking up the frac it didn't work because of no signal from backup lights. And then me trouble shooting system hot blew the frac fuse. If memory serves power wire came loose and touched chassis. The intial cause of no back up lights (and no signal to frac) a mystery, as all cars wires are contained within harness. That said if contemplating, ensure everything is working before beginning. Ensure wires are protected before energizing.

The explanation is very clear, and your video quite useful. Thanks again for sharing and explaining what happened. @@-AnEv942

Well... your last question showed in notifications but not here? Or at least I can respond to. Odd Any way loaded short vid showing connection. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vx6vIcVDY5k.html Connect FRAC to the trigger wire at cameras RCA plug (Labeled B if same camera). The other wire (labled D) isnt used for FRAC.

thanks again!. I was not sure which of red wire of the camera would go to the Frac harness, but now it is clear. much appreciated!@@-AnEv942

It likely does ground thru the RCA cable and extra ground not required but I connected the ground under the dash to an existing chassis ground screw. Yes I cut the RCA cable to pull thru instead of trying to push thru the extension cable plug or the rather large RCA jack thru. Other reason is the cable (36 feet) needed to be shortened anyway so cutting just made getting thru easier plus I wanted to make the pass thru hole as small as possible. Soldering connections also need to ensure cable shielding re-attached. Alternately to not cut you could push the small plug on extension cable plug thru (probably not easy but in the long run save cutting/soldering) to engine bay and coil up extra wire may behind fender or in engine bay. I cut cable, used a stiff piece of steel wire to get thru grommet and pulled cable plugged in to camera inside. Wished I had documented wiring better-doing this from memory...

thanks for your patience! now I got the full picture. I will follow your guidance. have a great weekend!@@-AnEv942
