Thanks for this video.. the micro/vague 'connections pages' in the manual weren't clear to use the top/left Brown input jack for the rear camera :-) P.S. I've been a fan of yours for a long time.. love your videos, blogs, live feeds on FB.. keep it up :-)
Hi, nice and informative video. I fixed a new pioneer Z5290BT and I fixed both front and rear camera, but now only reverse camera can viewed but the font camera can’t be viewed. I connected the camera connectors to the appropriate socket on the headunit as you showed in the video. What would be the issue?
You added the Camera RCA front connection to the RCA Video 1 jack, is the second yellow jack able to support the front video also, lets say if I also had in a mirracast in my 1st rca video connection port?
Not sure if you went over this or not, I could have just missed it. I have the rear camera hooked up to positive and negative and to the purple wire and the rear camera is working properly and comes on when going into reverse. The front camera I have hooked to power and ground as well but no other wires. Do I need to hook into daytime running lights or another power source?
Could I switch to the "front" camera (and easily) while in reverse and the rear camera on? I want to setup a cargo camera for hooking up the 5th wheel camper, but need to override the rear camera. I am looking to possibly purchase a Pioneer deck, but not finding if I can do that like in the Kenwood.
I am installing backup camera in my RV so wires are not long enough, i must use my own. Would you please tell me what should i do with the short red wire which is next to camera conection(origenal rca cables are not coming with that red wire)
How would you connect a side view camera that would be triggered by the turn signal. If the trigger connection is made at the light in the mirror, will the image blink like the mirror signal light blinks?
I have the AVH-X491 and PAC RP4.2-TY11 that'll go into my 2016 RAV4. And it sound as though I need the PAC VS41 (or something similar) in order to use the side mirror feature as well. Can you please verify? Or, can you make a video including the side mirrors as well as front/rear cams? Thanks
Thanks for the input but one more question would I plug that unit into the rear camera spot or the front camera spot. And is that the only 4 camera switcher that will work..
I am getting an Avh-X5800 and I was wanting to install a backup camera as well as right side and left side cameras is it possible with a splitter or not.. I am wanting to have them triggered by blinker..
I had a small shop do it, but there's a green wire that appears to run all the way to the head unit with the yellow video wire. The power cable has been tied in with this green wire underneath the truck and then tied in to a light green wire in my 7 pin trailer harness connector
Jamarr Dumas sounds like they are using the reverse light to power the camera. You would have to run an accessory wire back to the camera to power it up.
MrJuicemunkey here is the camera echomaster.com/catalog/cameras/universal-mount-front-or-reverse-camera-cam-01?search_query=Cam+1&results=204 We also like to use the Kenwood CMOS-22p
My point the other day was why have one that you can't record the video as in a dash cam. I get your reasons for its use but I would still want it recording.
I have a question and its off topic but i hope you will answer. I have a 2012 chevy equinox no amplified system. I bought the dash kit and harness to install a double din. I have the wire harness wired up and the stereo will play but only if the door chimes are on. Once the door chims turn off or if i close the door which will then turn the door chimes off, then the sound will cut out fom the stereo. What could be causing this? i feel like i have everything wired correctly. Thank You.
I have the pioneer avh-x491 bhs. I have a front camera and a backup camera installed . I can toggle between views via the camera view option, but will not display what is behind me while driving. Will only show an image on the rear view camera when car is in reverse. Could you tell me how to also view rear camera while driving ?
Can the front facing camera be used as a dash cam on AVH-X391BHS? In other words, does this head unit have the ability to record video while the car is being driven?
I have the AVH-X491BHS and Pac RP4 CH11 going to 2016 wrangler do i need to tap in for reverse or will Pac have a connection for reverse trigger? Thank you.
I didn't go with a camera on my 391 but found the video interesting anyway. Another great job guys, you rock!
Mike Miranda thank you, you can always add one later😀
Great show guy's keep up the good work.
Ryan H thank you very much

Can you make a video installing an after market radio to a Nissan Titan with the fosgate system that uses the factory camera.

Can you do a video how to conect a eq to a double din thank you
Great job, i have the 491, how would i add a monitor to this radio...
Do you have to hook up the purple wire? WHat if I just want to do it manually at all times through the unit?
I am installing backup camera in my RV so wires are not long enough, i must use my own. Would you please tell me what should i do with the short red wire which is next to camera conection(origenal rca cables are not coming with that red wire)
Will this work on any pioneer radio with a back up camera I have a avh 4700
How would you connect a side view camera that would be triggered by the turn signal. If the trigger connection is made at the light in the mirror, will the image blink like the mirror signal light blinks?
does avh-x391 have the parking guidelines? or I have to get a backup camera that has guidelines built-in?

Hi,what multimedia do you recommend, Pioneer AppRadio SPH-DA01,Pioneer AppRadio 4 SPH-DA120,Pioneer Avic-F940BT?Thanks for answer.
Hey can u do a video on hooking up front,rear cameras and 4 tv monitors to a pioneer that a can watch Netflix on thanks
Another option instead of the mounting the front camera up front could be to mount it below one of the outer fear view mirrors to cover a blind spot.
These have hard drives so they can record?
The boundary lines are not shown while viewing rear camera. those lines help gauging distance of the objects behind the car.
Is it the same process for a AVH-1300NEX ?
Thanks for the input but one more question would I plug that unit into the rear camera spot or the front camera spot. And is that the only 4 camera switcher that will work..
+Chris Avila rear camera spot. It is the only one we work with, I'm sure there are others
Hi can the Dual camera sys work with: Pioneer AVH-210EX 6.2" DOUBLE DIN TOUCHSCREEN CAR STEREO with DVD BLUETOOTH???
I have 2011 Toyota Venza how can I install the factory camera to pioneer avhx391 or 491
Can you do this on the Pioneer AVIC-W8500NEX 7-Inch
I am getting an Avh-X5800 and I was wanting to install a backup camera as well as right side and left side cameras is it possible with a splitter or not.. I am wanting to have them triggered by blinker..
+Chris Avila you will want to get a PAC vs41 to add to this radio

AVH-X3700DAB
Is albo possible Dual camera mode?
What is AHD backup camera? Does Pioneer support AHD backup camera?
Great video guys, can you get me a link to the front camera? I got a cheap chinese ones aand it's rusting out after like a week of use
MrJuicemunkey here is the camera
echomaster.com/catalog/cameras/universal-mount-front-or-reverse-camera-cam-01?search_query=Cam+1&results=204
We also like to use the Kenwood CMOS-22p
how do i hook up the violet/white wire to activate backup camera when i put in reverse gear?
i have a AVH-X490 unit
lester cheng it goes to the reverse light feed. You can typically get it at the reverse light
My point the other day was why have one that you can't record the video as in a dash cam. I get your reasons for its use but I would still want it recording.
Michael Sowell yes recording would be nice, Echo master has a add on until coming soon.
Thanks for the info
why does it work perfectly then i get the black screen?
I have a question and its off topic but i hope you will answer. I have a 2012 chevy equinox no amplified system. I bought the dash kit and harness to install a double din. I have the wire harness wired up and the stereo will play but only if the door chimes are on.

Jeff Sumner never seen that before, what is the harness did you use?
Five Star Car Stereo I used the Metra 99-3307G
What is the best place to mount front camera???
John Brown depends. We have been mounting them low in the grill on some cars. Most of the time we have to make some kind of bracket.
"That was strange"
I have the pioneer avh-x491 bhs. I have a front camera and a backup camera installed . I can toggle between views via the camera view option, but will not display what is behind me while driving. Will only show an image on the rear view camera when car is in reverse. Could you tell me how to also view rear camera while driving ?
Jamarr Dumas where is the power for the rear camera connected to. It needs to be connected to accessory power.
Can the front facing camera be used as a dash cam on AVH-X391BHS? In other words, does this head unit have the ability to record video while the car is being driven?
+lido7rise no it does not have any DVR functions
I have the AVH-X491BHS and Pac RP4 CH11 going to 2016 wrangler do i need to tap in for reverse or will Pac have a connection for reverse trigger? Thank you.
Juan R the PAC will have it check out this video
th-cam.com/video/zL1lwaSfnv0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks installed yesterday works flawlessly!
Is there a way to eliminate that "Caution The video may appear reversed" message ?
Can the cam-lf3b be setup with the backup lines using the avic-8200nex?
Rome Briggs the 8200 has the ability to do custom backup lines for any camera connected
Five Star Car Stereo I didnt see the echomaster on your website, do you guys carry them?
What differences will I notice by a 12€ and a 100€ one?
Klefky the more expensive one will have better build quality and not break in 3 months. At least that has been our experience
How good is the x491bhs compared to the 4100 or 4200nex?
jeffrey robertson it is not compatible. The 491 is a renamed 5800. The 4100/4100 have a lot more features
Five Star Car Stereo so in renaming the 3800/5800 did they add in any new features or is it just a rename only?
Michael Chong rename only no new features
what kind of model is the first camera
jospeh they are both EchoMaster cameras
Five Star Car Stereo thank you very much love all your vids and tips
jospeh thank you
