    Alternative approach: In another related video, they simply probed the radio connector (while connected to the powered-on factory radio) and looked for the wire with the 6 V level (while in reverse), which is only used for camera power, i.e. if it's 6V then it's gotta be camera power. The video signal wire would usually be near the 6V wire. Again, using some kind of video monitor, probe around until the monitor shows the backup camera picture. You could use any old monitor with an RCA video input, and there are also 3.5" TFT monitors on sale in the usual places for $30 or so. Although the front-to-back continuity approach is foolproof and guaranteed to work, the probing-around approach eliminates the pain of removing the back panels. Lastly, probe around for the 12 V level which comes on when in reverse, this will be your trigger signal for the aftermarket radio. To be sure, the continuity approach is guaranteed to work, but it's a little more labour intensive. Thanks mate for your video though, good on ya!

    I'm very surprised, after the many decades of aftermarket stereos being sold, that there isn't an aftermarket/oem plug standard so that you can just remove the old radio and plug everything into the new one, retaining your steering wheel controls, original backup camera and everything else without having to cut and strip wires, look up color codes for the wires for your particular vehicle and so on. Luckily there are companies like Metra that do make some of this kind of stuff to bridge oem plugs with aftermarket stuff.

  • @247SH

    Hi, great video. I’m trying to connect my OEM reversing camera (VW 2014 Scirocco 2.0L TDI, UK) to an aftermarket android head unit with no luck. I bought an A0580 decoder box. It has a yellow rca and three wires, yellow, brown and red. They plug into the head unit but still no video feed. Just wondering if there should be 6volts or 12volts going to the camera? Voltage from the decoder box, brown and yellow wires is 10.5volts so I’m confused. I’m guessing the decoder box just tries to reroute wires rather than change the video standard. I have tried selecting PAL video standard but still no joy. Any ideas appreciated. Should I just dump to decoder box and try to hardwire the camera to the head unit? I’m not sure what I’m trying to achieve is to change OEM camera standard, whatever that is, to RCA or reroute the wiring, or both? Thanks

  • @ThePhilbox
    @ThePhilbox 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Does the headunit know to show the reverse camera because the camera gets power ad triggers it, or it it is triggered by the actual 12V reverse circuit?

  • @Tino_Moreno
    @Tino_Moreno 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is a nice video, I got me an OEM camera that I got included in a trunk that I got for my 08 Lancer, but my car wasn't wired for reverse camera, I was hoping you have a video on how to do it just in the trunk, I could imagine that you would use the reverse light power to power up the camera from there and also add the rca cable to the camera from there since I do have an aftermarket stereo, I don't mind running cables to the front just hoping you have a video like that would be much appreciated. Thanks and sorry if I didn't make any sense
    Update 12-1-2021
    So Like I said before I installed the Evo X lid with the camera and I was surprised that your method worked, The only difference was that I had to send my own wires from the trunk to the new Stereo I did my wiring the same way you did, I know its not the exact same method but pretty close. Thanks

    What if I already have 6 volts and the camera triggers in reverse but the only thing I need to do is add the RCA to plug in the new Android head unit. Factory plug I found the video + and video - wire (pin 7 and 8) continuity to the camera. Now splice the RCA and you have yellow, red, and a little shielding. Does the yellow connect to the video plus? And the red? What about the shield? Well in any case the video I get in like an old tv in 3 parts is it just a shielding problem?

    Okay so I’m going to be attempting this on my car this weekend lemme get this correct. So I have the actual pin out of my vehicle
    Video signal connects to rca positive.
    Video signal ground connects to rca shield.
    Now video pos 12v is connected to 6v out pos
    I have a converter that has 4 wires pos and ground for out and pos and ground for in. Then....
    12v in connects to reverse/back up to head unit.
    Then shield for camera should be plugged into ground of 6v out.
    Now my question is this leaves me with the converter 12v ground not connected to anything what should I connect that to? The head units ground or should I connect shield and 6v out ground together with the 12v in ground and connect them all to the head unit ground?

    • @TheFittingBay
      @TheFittingBay  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep so do the 12v converter 12v+ and ground. Then use the 6v out for camera power and also ground. If it’s not working and you’ve checked all your connections. Change the 6v ground out to the camera to any other ground in the car . That’s what we did here and it worked :)

    Hello there, I have installed an android head unit and I would like to keep my oem camera, I have found a connector with 4 cables to the old head unit, 1 it’s reverse signal 1 it’s ground 1 it’s positive and another one do not have a voltage.
    Now how I understand to wire them it’s the follow:
    Positive of the voltage reducer and the reverse wire from the head unit goes to the reverse signal and the 6 volt output on the 12 volt signal, the negative of the voltage reducer with the negative of the rca goes to the negative wire (toghether?) and than the positive of the rca goes to this cable witch dosent have a voltage ( I assume it’s the video signal), does this make sense to you? Waiting for an answer, thank you so much

      Jonathan Zepeda Shield and GND can be seperate. But sometimes you need to connect them together for it to work (OEM cameras only). And technically it should be 12v + and GND input to the reducer then you use the 6v + / - out of the reducer but I’ve seen that also fail so the way done in the video will work all the time
