I also used a long zip tie to fish the wire through the rubber hose but it wouldn't come out at the end inside the trunk. I finally sprayed the inside of the hose with a liberal amount of silicon lubricant and rounded the end of the zip a little more and it easily poked through. Thanks for this and all your other videos.
Great video very helpful. Wish there was more mechanics with half the knowledge you have here in Winston Salem NC. Keep up the great work you do and taking the time to show everyone the correct way to get it done with every job you work on. Thanks

Excellent video! I just replaced my broken factory CD/radio with a Dynavin N7 Pro and added a backup camera at the same time. I am not mechanically inclined, but this video (along with a few others) allowed me to succeed beyond my wildest expectations. I directly connected the camera to the reverse light wiring as shown at 8:15 in the video. Even though there is a lot of info on the web about noise on the E46 reverse lights, my camera works flawlessly (no need for a relay). Maybe its the camera, an EchoMaster CAM-01 that I bought from Dynavin with the head unit, or maybe my 05 E46 ZHP has improved circuitry. In either case, the video makes it clear where to make the connections--something I would have had no clue about. Thanks, ShopLife, for this and other great videos!
Very well done. The hardest part is actually running the wiring from the back of the car to the front but the way I bypass this what's purchasing a wireless camera installation kit cut the work down in half
This Guy is asssunmmmmm ..he talks and he does not miss ...any added point ...for the novice ..he explains EVERYTHING he has sved me tunns of money Keys Back light Love ya Gezzz From BMW ....UK
Great video as usual,but did not show which wire connected to which.I had so many wires come with mine,lots of short Red one which appear to go nowhere. Also having the Face lift 330 Ci Coup'e,i cannot work out on the rear connector behind side lights,which wire goes to side lights and so on. There is not a manual with it in.
Fantastic videos I have gain great knowledge from all of them Very clear and spot on I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish more people go to the trouble to explain thinks as good. I've try installing a reverse camera on my 2004 e46 and it wasn't until I saw this video that everything click. One comment if I may try paying more attention to the wiring connections will be great. I was trying to figure out where the red wire that is on the Yellow RCA cable goes and thanks to you I think now I know. That it is the trigger wire and its used if the camera does not operate but it has the same connection on the other end so where do you connect that one. Thanks again and keep up the great work you are to be congratulated. Have a great day From Down Under OZ
Nice video and good job!! i dont have the video input adaptor on my yinuo 7 gps!! so i cant connect the video cable from the camera on the head unit!! do you have an idea of where i can get it?
Hello, thank you for this vidéo ! I'm thinking of buying a better RCA cable that comes with the kit, for an E46 which length is sufficient? Or would I have no problem with the one provided? and is it better to separate the wire that activates the reverse mode on the screen to avoid parasites? Thank you
Getting that wire through the grommets was a pain in the a*#, which is why I gave up and just pulled it through and covered the wire with a hose/tube and it still looks great.
You have been a big help with my build on the E46! Your doing an Great job on all your videos. IO have seen on Ebay there are some Back up Cameras that are part of the trunk lid button. I have a 2002 E46 Sedan. Why wouldn't that work? or will it?
I discovered another way to get live and ground this unit. Go straight into the fuse box behind the glove compartment , you can then use a fuse tap and ground it right there
Hi Broo .. How can i connect a backup C to an x3 07" 08" directly to it ?..without interface ..i know the CiD wiring are pulsed .. Can it still be done??
Hi have a bunch of wires black and blue, red and green, brown, yellow and purple. Do you know how I can tell which is ground and which is power on a 2014 bmw
Hopefully you can help me. Got an eonon 5150 and a 2002 E46 sedan. Tried to connect the rearview canera. It lights up so there's power but no display shows on the eonon. Whenever I go in reverse the music stops and the screen goes blank
Hey mate, me and my friend bought a navi system from AliExpress and it's working perfect, i have the facelift model with the 40 pin harnass and my friend has the older Pre-facelift style 17 pin harnass, My navi system goes into rear camera modus out of the box even without the camera attached however for my friend we installed the camera but the system doesn't go in rear-view mode at all, we did the wiring as you described in the video and in the end you say if the system doesn't go in rear-view mode you probably need to connect 2 wires from the harnass, but the only 2 wires we have is "key 1, steering wheel control learning" and "front camera power", we have also 1 wire coming from the RCA cable on both ends but i dont know what to do with those 2 wires. i hope you could help us get it working!
Hey mate I tried to install the camera to my BMW E46 2002m automatic. and the gps is eonon GA7150A but when I turn the reverse gear it doesn't show me my camera maybe you know the problem?
Really really nice! The only part I'm missing is at 8:20 when you say the black goes to the brown and the read goes to the yellow, how do I connect them?
I did everything the same . But when I go into reverse I don’t get power to my camera . I have the same wires but I have an extra wire that is black and yellow .
Hi i have a question so i bought a rear camera for my bmw x5 e70 everything works and fits but i ran into a problem every time i put on gear reverse the camera makes interference with the music i listen on the radio or bluetooth What could be the cause ? Is this supposed to happen when you put on reverse gear
Thanks for your videoI just bought the same unit and the same rear camera.But after doing the same setup as in your video Can't see my screen on with rear image What should I do?
In my case after talking with the technical service Eonon They my suggest to connected the trigger wire (red) on the brown wire of the CANbus,,My unit is GA8150A,,,,Make sure you have the same unit before you made the connection to avoid any errors
5:40 I see you have a nice nails painting, no wonder why you are wearing the gloves :D But seriously, you could also show how to exchange manual-steering seats with electric-steering leather seats (including back seats), how to exchange, how to set, what problems may occur, and why we should do or should not do this :) And also how to get more power from 325i e46 engine :D
Greetings from norway. I have a 323 convertible 2000 automatic model with electric seat without memory. The backrest actuator thats not working. I cant quite figuree out how to replace it with a new one. I have had the seat/chair out but i am stuck on how to acces this motor/actuator from there and on. Any tips
Hi, I ask you a courtesy, I installed the rear camera as per your video, putting the positive on the yellow and the negative on the brown, then on the radio I triggered the Gek and joined the red cable with the red of the radio but the camera doesn't turn on, can you tell me the
Hello, I have a problem with my eonon e46a12s. When I put the car in reverse gear, it doesn't switch to the reversing camera, but when I use the front camera app, the reversing camera works
I have installed mine and the camera powers off the reverse light, but it does not switch to it automatically. I have to still load the F-CAM app. Not a big deal, but would like it to auto switch. Can't find b any settings to allow the app to run on demand.
2003 330i here. There are 3 wires coming out of the reverse light. Brown, yellow-blue and yellow. I used quick splice: black to brown, red to yellow-blue. It didn't work. No display on the radio (Eonon 9150). Don't know should I splice the red to the yellow instead? I noticed your BMW has only 2 wires, brown and yellow-blue. After reading all the comments, it seems most people have the wiring problem, that there is no picture. Other BMW forums seems to have the same problem. But this DIY has 173,545 views; so I presume most of the people didn't have the problem a few of us encountered! Should I splice the red to the yellow instead? Is there any harm to the electrical system (and the camera, stereo head) if I do? Thanks always.
great video , very helpful but i have a problem ,when is switch to reverse and car headlights are on the rear cam start flickering and disturbed , if i turn off the lights it get better. any suggestions? camera harness has data-power and a little red wire ,data and power are connected is this issue caused by that red wire? thank you for your time and for any further advice. Best Regards MJM

Getting that wire through the grommets was a pain in the a*#, which is why I gave up and just pulled it through and covered the wire with a hose/tube and it still looks great.
Did you have the steering wheel control set up?

The E39 doesn't have reverse lights on the trunk lid, do you know how to connect the camera to the reverse lights of a E39?? :D

Can you do anything like this for a 2008 E93 convertible ? All I see are e46 videos
Just installed one in my M3 but reverse lights aren’t powering. I’m thinking it’s the reverse light switch. Any chance you have a video on that?
Thanks buddy, just 1 question, why you didnt mount the camera in the centre, does it make sort of a viewing angle when off center?
I discovered another way to get live and ground this unit. Go straight into the fuse box behind the glove compartment , you can then use a fuse tap and ground it right there
Would this also work on a BMW X3 F25 - MY2015?
