I have been trying to figure this out for hours! Watching videos accessing settings I don’t have. Hooked up my vag com trying to find the trigger and turn it off… I haven’t tried this yet but I know for sure this is going to work! I have a digital mirror that does my cameras so I obviously want to turn it off on the deck! I owe you a steak dinner sir! If you are ever in Ohio hit me up 😂
Great video Mech, can you tell me where you linked the red pigtail to at the unit end. I have linked the other to the reversing light bulb wire. Thanks
So I need to know exactly what that blue wire is doing? Is it back feeding the radio's reverse input? We're not just changing parts here, like the local neighborhood STS Tire center does, it's about theory, science, technology, at least those are my thoughts. All good! Thanks
In some stereos there are a pink or brown confirm what goes live with 12v in reverse before cut it mi stereo have a hiworld module and in my case it was the pink one. 👐
Good share m8... just had another headunit recently. This 1, wire was green, already cut and actually required a closed loop to disable the black screen
In this video, you'll see a connector block with a thick yellow wire in it. Next to that is a black. Be same in most cars tbh m8. Black be earth. Sometimes a brown wire. But in this video its black mate
Much obliged I've managed to test 2 wires so far hunting for this reverse wire to snip it! Had a lead on a pink wire but nope yet testing literally takes 2 minutes now. Thanks Mike!
Hiya mate, my reverse cam work fine on my sons 2012 polo, my issue is when he’s finished reversing and goes into 1st or neutral he gets a blank screen with no signal displayed this lasts for 30 secs or so b4 the normal radio/dab comes back on. Any help would be appreciated
Hiya mate not sure as a friend wired it in for me, i think he went from the bulb though. Also my factory settings are different to yours are there any secret ones that android have? Is it better to go via rev live switch?
Cheers mate, much appreciated. My other question is if i got parking sensors added (aftermarket) it has a lil speaker control box, can this be added to the head unit so they work with the reverse cam lines and the picture of sensors displayed
I'd have to be looking at what was there to figure out best way to integrate them tbh mate. Wouldn't like to advise you with looking first. You can use the switched live from headunit yes. But the sensors themselves need (ideally needs) to be wired in witj relay, switched live and perm live and I'm sure it can be possible to Integrate to speakers yes, but can't coach without seeing it thou (sry mate)
There wasn't any label on it sry. It was just me testing each wire is what identified what was powering the reverse element within the headunit. Disabling it (cutting it) fixed my issue
Hi mate. I installed the head unit on my amarok 2013.The reverse camera probably working when I reverse the car but then i turn left/right signal the screen change to black view.How to stop this happen mate. How i can find the left/right signal wire on can bus to cut it off?thks
Get a multimeter, slap indicator down or up and you'll need to test the wires on back of the canbus box. I've not come across this problem. Let me know if you need a video tutorials and I'll slap 1 up for you
@@mechanicallymindedmike9677 Hi Mike. I changed my canbus settings in the radio to an Audi A3 2012, and now theres nothing wrong. Only the climate does not show on the screen but I dont mind it :D Non of the VW canbus settings works, I belive the radio thinking that I'am driving an Audi. Might as well change my VW emblems to Audi 🤣 Cheers.
Good share m8.... appreciate you blogging that as it will help others. Would you mind (when you get some spare time) just jotting the steps you took to do that please bro?
Hi my friend, i dont have the same colors on my raise thing, but the cables are placed exactly the same as yours, should i cut it (i have no blue cable, and a pink one is at the place of your blue one)
It is possible that the colours could of changed by now as this video is old. Can u test with multimeter first? When I'm reverse gear (ignition on) that pink would be 12v. When not in reverse wire should read 0V If its not pink then find the wire that goes 12v in reverse and 0 when not in reverse
I have the same unit do you happen to know how to get into restore mode when the screen is stuck on logo and even when i turn it off and on it stays on thay screen
@@mechanicallymindedmike9677 Greatly appreciate d Mr Mike. But I already personally rigged it up. Two years it has worked fine. Wires are all correct. I think the screen is knackered or the unit given up. I think I need to do a hard re format or something following another video. But as o don't have a computer. I have to buy unit to replace this one. And maybe use it as a home unit if o can get the old one working again. Great video btw. Thanks
Hi just installed mine last night Everything seems normal apart from when indicating left or right, the screen turns into reviser mode with the sensor car logo. After the indicator is turned off the screen returns back to normal. When on a phone call and indicating the call ends and the black screen into the reverse black logo along side the car sensor logo. Please any ideas would be highly appreciated thanks
If you look through the comments mann someone else had that problem in a toureg I think turned out it was their canbus box was faulty. Report it to your seller and try a new canbus box first m8
Hello ;) I have a slightly similar problem, I get a black screen, but only from time to time. The camera works fine for a few days and then suddenly there is a black screen. the next day everything works fine again etc...Can anyone help me? Thank you
Just cut the blue wire on my Android head unit and now thers no more reverse black screen, thanks for the tips
No problem- glad it helped

A switched live on the headunit. I wired mine with a relay and used the pigtail wire to control my relay switch
Which wire do i need to disconnect on canbus for radio draining battery. Is it red and yellow ones
So I need to know exactly what that blue wire is doing? Is it back feeding the radio's reverse input? We're not just changing parts here, like the local neighborhood STS Tire center does, it's about theory, science, technology, at least those are my thoughts. All good! Thanks

Silly question but how did you test the wires? I have a multimeter with no idea where id stick the ground
Usually the black is ground fella. And it's not a silly question. Any question is just a question buddy. NEVER feel silly for asking for help m8

You'll find it m8, I have confidence in you mann.

How have you wired the camera in? Have you used the reverse switched live from stereo? Or using the reverse light itself?
Hiya mate not sure as a friend wired it in for me, i think he went from the bulb though. Also my factory settings are different to yours are there any secret ones that android have? Is it better to go via rev live switch?
100% use rev line fro. Headunit. Radio controls it then through canbus network so should speed u up a bit m8

When I'm reverse gear (ignition on) that pink would be 12v. When not in reverse wire should read 0V
If its not pink then find the wire that goes 12v in reverse and 0 when not in reverse
hi is your camera ahd or not
Not. Just a cheap 1 from ebay m8
I have the same unit do you happen to know how to get into restore mode when the screen is stuck on logo and even when i turn it off and on it stays on thay screen
There's a little reset button on front from memory m8. Use pin to press
Heya any help please. Mine has a black screen. The backlights up. But no screen. Changed with new fuses but nothing
Hi m8. I'll try and help you best I can bro..
Check the camera is getting 12v power?
Also check camera plugged in to the correct yellow lead.

Are u sure connections are well tight and solid m8?
Try doing a reset on headunit.
I can hear music like radio bout black screen
That seems to be a unique error. This video was to support people who had a back screen whe. They went onto reverse.
Have you tried a reset?
Thanks
