Looking at doing this on a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. As others have said here crutchfield has said i need to purchase an aftermarket camera. I don't have fancy tools you use here so wondering you have knowledge on what wires are what on my vehicle? Also, is soldering necessary or will wire connectors work?
Do you know if this would work for an android headunit? I have a subaru brz, would prefer to use the stock camera, I am using an aftermarket one as of now.
Really awesome channel, all good stuff without any nonsense or filler. Got a head scratcher for you: I'm trying to install a METRA AXCAM step-down 12v to 6v converter in a 2017 Crosstrek to keep the backup camera working when installing an android HU. Problem is the METRA only has 3 wires, and the wires I need to tap into are also 3, not 4. According to the instructions, the GROUND and the NEGATIVE for the video signal are on the same BLACK wire, and the POSITIVE for the video signal is on a RED wire. The METRA AXCAM says to tap its BLUE/RED to the a WHITE WIRE,and its BLUE/WHITE to the reverse wire (BROWN YELLOW). However, when switching the car into reverse the HU tries to display the backup camera but all I get is video noise. Obviously one of the video wires is incorrect, but the wiring diagram also only identifies 3 wires for the backup cam (c11, c12, c20). Could the RED wire be for power, and the WHITE wire be for the video signal? I'm lost.
thanks you so much for this, I recently had a really bad experience. went and bought a pioneer head unit and opted to have geek squad install, well showed up for my scheduled appointment and he ends up calling me back in after looking at the truck/suv and says that since the dealer installed a aftermarket Toyota nav entertainment system he was going to have to add 149$ more for a harness and hour and one half hour to undo all the dealer did then add the harness to hook up the new head unit. now im no expert but all the wires are there for the new head unit except this rear camera which you just showed me how to do. all total 304$ additional cost already to the 130$ appointment which I was at that has now has to be rescheduled to a new one. well do I have *&%%$ written on my forehead, so I gave it all back really upset....these guys should have told me this in the first place, even after I said it looked intimidating to me cause of the rear back up camera has a 4p hookup (bec108 eclipse rear camera model number) not the yellow one like in this video and the new pioneer has the yellow input.. I know I could have done this hell you sodder right in the car whats wrong with the geek squad?
Nice video. I do have one question. I have a mazda cx 9 2007 bose w/ nav. I wanted to retain my factory backup camera. I got the power working but I don't have a video feed. How will I know what color is the wire for negative/positive of the video feed using a voltmeter? I have the axxess mazcam 6V. Thanks!
This was a helpful video (learning the two things needed are signal plus and minus, and power plus and minus). I want to leave some info for anyone trying to retain a factory camera in a 2012 Ford Escape (Limited). The camera is always powered, so leave the power alone. The signal reaches the factory receiver on a plug. It's the only one with just two wires connected. Lighter color is signal plus, darker is signal minus. Cut the wires from the plug and connect to an RCA plug (lighter color to center post) and camera will work with aftermarket receiver (if it has RCA rear camera input).
Is this application Toyota specific or generic for all oem factory backup cameras? I ask because many of the questions on this page doesn't get answered.
Super video! My rear camera on 2021 Tacoma is not coming on display when truck is in reverse, it does not show as an option in Setting mode, it's greyed out. Any advise on how to trouble shoot and get it to come on? Can you do a video?
Great video guys, I was wondering if you have a video to replace factory backup camera with HD version. I was wondering why you don't use Posi-Tap taps?
Great info. My situation, I installed a pioneer avh-490bs head unit in my 06 jeep commander. I wasn’t aware during the install that I could retain the stock camera at the time. So now I’m thinking of splicing into the wiring at the camera and then running forward since I’m certain no one makes an adapter to retain the stock camera. I’m fairly confident in my installation and mechanical skills. My question to y’all is what all do you recommend as far as hardware I’d need to purchase first before attempting this? My considerations at this juncture is without the stock radio I won’t be able to produce your results with simple testing since I can’t actually engage (or know when) the camera. The other question to all of this is id like to install a camera up front (my wife and I do a lot of wheeling, we’d like to be able to engage the cameras so we can see our obstacles without having to get out) would it be possible with this type of setup? Thanks for the videos, keep’em coming.
This is great! Thank you very much. Now I have a question thats a bit opposite. I have a Kenwood DNX double din unit going into a 2009 Acura MDX. The MDX has a screen at the very top of the dash that has the back up camera on it. What I want to do is use the video out option from the kenwood and hardwire it or make a video connection into the factory screen at the top of the MDX dash. I'm a pretty capable person and the testing and wiring in this video is pretty common for me, i understand it well. But is it possible for you to do a write up of a rough video of how I can accomplish what i'm looking to do? Video out from the kenwood and video in into the factory screen on the MDX dash either by hard wire or by hardwiring in a video rca plug. I will forever be grateful !!!!
I've got an 09 TL Tech Package and I can tell you from my experience this weekend that it's not worth the trouble even if it is possible. Ive spent 3 days now trying to retain all my factory features while changing the stock radio to an aftermarket unit (got most of em, backup cam, stearing wheel controls, fm radio antenna, usb, and aux) but it's just worth it. I actually melted my taillight housings leaving it in reverse to long trying to probe for the correct wires for the backup cam. I loved my Acura until this weekend. Now I'm looking to sell and upgrade.
Great video. Definitely saved me some time. Will I retain the dynamic guidelines. Is the steering wheel angle wired into the oem head unit or the oem camera? Am waiting for my after market head unit so i guess I will find out soon enough. The suspense is killing me.
Great video as are your others. Any idea if I can grab the pink and blue wires I need on a 2011 Traverse w/ bose, no nav. for a setup with factory video in mirror. Added a Kenwood ddx6705s and need to grab the two wires to make the cam work. I found the wires I need in the top map light area. You do you where I can grab the wires under the kick panel? There are so many wire bundles and it would save me a lot of time! thank you.
My 2017 Acura ILX with base audio has 6 wire for backup cam listed in wiring diagram from ALL DATA can I just hookup the four like you guys did for an aftermarket install?
Need some advice on this topic. What radio upgrade would be best for a 2015 Honda CRV. Thatvwill also keep the side and rear camera functioning as normal.
I've been attempting to install the factory back up camera on a 2015 Nissan Sentra to a radio which is called the double din Android Radio. The radio comes with the RCA connector but I am not sure where the back up camera wires for the vehicle are at on the harness. Do you have any suggestions. I've tried looking up wiring diagrams and had no luck. Your video was awesome but I quite don't have the video tool. I have the DVOM but not the other. Thank you.
I have a 2012 Subaru Outback and installing a pioneer head unit? The factory camera monitor is built into the mirror. How can I switch that to the head unit or both ? Thanks a lot I appreciate it.
Hi, Guys,Fantastic videos but I'm left with one question - I have a 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan and I'm installing a Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS that I have on hand from a previous vehicle and want to retain the factory backup camera - do you know offhand if the camera is 12v or 6v?? If 6v I need the 12v to 6v converter to run a feed from the accessory lead??? If the camera is 12v the converter is not necessary??? Going to use the PAC SWI interface you have suggested so it already includes a reverse input.TIA
Hi have a 2011 infinity g25x i have installed the tesla style stereo with bose,navi, back up camera with sensor. now i was wondering if you had any experience with this stereo and was wondering if you can do a video on how to connect a back up camera to a tesla style stereo for a 2011 infinity g25x . i haven't had much success and cant get my cam and back up sensor to work . any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated. thank you.
Well I have my backup cam wired now thanks to this video and some research but the video is showing in black and white now after showing color this morning. Is it just a poor signal connection? Should I try a stronger rca and better solder connection?
2008 tundra OEM reverse camera issue. Ok here's the details. Used the video here and tested the lines as it was described they matched perfectly and had video on aftermarket pioneer HU. Now I'm not getting video or the 6v to the factory harness hence no video. I've checked all fuses nothing blown. Tried in park and reverse still no 6v required to power camera. ANY IDEAS? ANY HIDDEN FUSES?
So I have a question about my 2008 toyota sequoia. I want to install a factory camera to a aftermarket stereo. I noticed one day when looking at where the camera would be placed in the rear I saw that it already is prewired in the event if I wanted to install a camera later on. The wire runs through the headliner towards the rear view mirror. I guess what I want to know is from the pre existing wiring should I only require to solder on a RCA male connection onto the pre exisitng rca wires? or do I also need to do something with a reverse wire? If i need to do something with the reverse wire what should it connect to or how would I go about integrating towards the camera working. I also noted in your video that you used a 12 volt converter to 6 volt would I need that? Please Reply...Thanks
Hey guys great video, I have a question, I have a 2015 nissan titan pro 4 x with the factory rockford fosgate system and im wanting to upgrade the hu. how do i keep the factory amps working? thanks.
I have a 2007 Acura TL Type S which has a OEM backup camera I'm getting a new head unit and also doing a navi swap with a different tablet in the bezel and wanted to know if there's any way to connect to new backup camera with the old connections or do I have to run the new camera like any other car
Great video especially cause I’m trying to do this to my 2013 tundra which pretty much the same one you’re working on in the video. One question, you talked about the green reverse wire on the that 3 wire harness, am I supposed to attach that wire to something? Thanks!
I had a dmx9707s installed in a Honda Pilot. My factory radio had 3 views to switch from but now with the kenwood I only have a fisheye view. Anyway to change this? Thanks
I am trying to do this on a 2015 Kia Optima. Any ideas on the wires and what goes where. What colors should I hook up the RCA to, and what colors i hook the 12v to 6v converter to. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you encounter Japanese car Toyota estima acr30 2005 with front and back camera connector to in one socket(10 pin video and communications). 4 pins has voltage ( 3 x 2.2v and 1x 4.5v) when not plug in. If plug in only 1x 0.9v which previously is 4.5v. Are these corresponding to 3way front camera and 1x backup camera?

There are cameras in the front, rear, and both sides, which shows a birds eye view when backing up and can be toggled to show rear and right curb as well by pressing camera button.

Hello I have been looking but cannot find a harness that can retain the factory backup camera for my 2015 nissan sentra sv. Do you have one or do you have to rewire it?
i understand the camera signal +/- get connected together to the male RCA plug. and the aftermarket Camera signal wire connects to the Backup cameras Signal wire. But where does the Camera Power wire and Reverse wire connect to?
What if I have an aftermarket radio and sometimes it works perfectly fine and clear picture. And randomly I’ll put it in reverse and the picture looks scrambled but still can see some detail of the video. Doesn’t go blank just goes black and white picture and scrambled looking. Any help would be awesome thank you

I have a aftermarket harness with a voltage step down and is also supposed to retain backup camera plus keep steering wheel controls but when i put car into reverse it doesn’t come on, but when i press the button for viewing camera it comes on n i see perfectly. Any ideas whats goin on? I have a 2019 camry with a axxess harness. My guess is i got no signal goin to radio telling it the car is in reverse, anywho all help is greatly appreciated!
Does the car have to be in reverse when attempting to locate your 6v wire. The only reason I ask is because I have 4 wires sending 6 volts in reverse, park, and drive.
Will these steps work fo my 2013 Titan? Crutchfield told me my only option is to purchase aftermarket. I don't want to lose my nice camera in my tailgate.
Question for you. I have a 2012 silverado with a Kenwood 9903 in it. I the RCA that it came with only had 1 wire on it.

I don't have fancy tools you use here so wondering you have knowledge on what wires are what on my vehicle? Also, is soldering necessary or will wire connectors work?
Can you move a back up camera from a rear view mirror and with a special harness plug it into your aftermarket stereo?
Do you know if this would work for an android headunit? I have a subaru brz, would prefer to use the stock camera, I am using an aftermarket one as of now.

Was the aftermarket radio able to decide the canbus signal from the steering angle sensor to make the RGB backup guide lines move with steering input?

Hey guys GREAT video, but where did the red and black wires connect to after the step down? I'm installing a sony xa-1000 into a 07 tundra.
What can I use besides a ccv or headrest monitor to test signal?
Is it possible to find the signal positive and negative cables without a CCTV tester?
Fantastic video! Just wanted to know if Honda CRV 2006 factory camera is also 6V? Thanks!

Hi! Why did you strip both power and signal wires? One would think it will be just thee power 6v to the camera?
Great video. Definitely saved me some time.

Well I have my backup cam wired now thanks to this video and some research but the video is showing in black and white now after showing color this morning. Is it just a poor signal connection? Should I try a stronger rca and better solder connection?
Can you keep the display in tyhee mirror and have it on the stereo as well?
I have same question

i understand the camera signal +/- get connected together to the male RCA plug. and the aftermarket Camera signal wire connects to the Backup cameras Signal wire.
But where does the Camera Power wire and Reverse wire connect to?
What if I have an aftermarket radio and sometimes it works perfectly fine and clear picture.

Hello,
I have a toyota aqua and i have replace the original radio with a pioneer ahv 195dvd.
My rear factory camera works intermittently, any advise please. Sometime it works and sometime it just show a blank screen. Is there anything to do with the camera or maybe wrong wiring
What unit can retain oem backup sensors? Or is there an adapter?
Since you tested the wires and got 6v for camera why would you need that 12v to 6v adapter if you’ve got 6v already?
Cause the aftermarket radio works with 12 volts so you need a Converter to do it

Does the car have to be in reverse when attempting to locate your 6v wire. The only reason I ask is because I have 4 wires sending 6 volts in reverse, park, and drive.
