Thank you for enjoying the video! I am stoked that you found it useful, we are always here to help. Did the video help you get your own backup camera install up and running?
@@crutchfield It certainly clears up a lot of doubt that I had a few hours ago. I'm waiting for my new BOSS BE920WCPA to come in (ordered at Crutchfield of course !) and will start to hook it up pretty soon. I intend to had both AFT and front cam so your video is just what I was hoping to find as a source of information. Thanks for sharing this.
This is the most helpful video for wiring up a backup camera! I’ve watched dozens and this really simplifies it and makes it easy to apply to a specific vehicle.
Really a well Handle the video with all steps on how to do it by yourself thanks for your kind help us to solve this particular item and this is my question do you have a great resolution camera
A improperly called solar generator is all im using. Runs the cameras for weeks. Its lithium iron phosphate so not going to fireball like lithium ion. Bypasses parking mode that doesnt catch everything cause theyre on all the time. Just have to monitor the sd cards sooner. I have a 2 channel Thinkware f200 pro set front and back and 2 Garmin mini 2s on the sides. I dont have to worry about a dead battery on the vehicle. Just charging the generator every other month.
I watched so many videos about hooking up the electronics for the reverse camera, and they were all pretty terrible. This one was easily the best. I was starting to lose hope on getting this done in time for a trip I was going on. I am not the most skilled electrician, and this video helped me make it all make sense in a very easy to understand way. Thank you so much!
This is literally THE BEST video for backup camera installation. Most videos don't go nearly into the detail of the head unit connection. Why? Because they aren't good videos. You guys do an amazing job! Now, if I could only find where the trigger wire for my 2014 Camry Hybrid is located. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Just like many others said, this is the BEST video for reverse camera wiring. There are so many videos out there that do not explain properly, but your video is super helpful. Thank you so much for the informative content!
@@crutchfield I had a SEICAN 9" double din computer unit on my CHARGER RT 07 and just bought a rear cam. I couldnt figure out why I didnt get a video feed until I watched your vid. I completed the install today and got those 3 red wired hooked up properly (I had forgotten to power the cam). Thanks to your video !
That is heartwarming to hear. I am stoked that our video got you sorted, exactly what we love! Thank you for your kind words and I hope that you continue to enjoy our content. Now that you are up and running, how do you like the radio and camera upgrade?
I just spent 2 hours looking for a 12v ignition source in my engine bay for a bumper cam. After hearing your explanation I realized I can just power it at the other end of the wire at the headunit. Crutchfield is unmatched when it comes to aftermarket car electrics, thank you!
Just FYI for people doing this the first time. If you use the reverse wire ground rather than a chassis ground you will probably get lines or snow on your monitor. I've done it, then did it correctly after seeing the degraded picture. Exception to the running the wire to reverse. If you have a canbus system, like in a Jeep, the canbus box knows when you are in reverse and tells the stereo to shift to camera even if you don't have a camera installed or any 'trigger wire'. Makes them easy to install if you have an adapter box. You need one for your steering wheel controls anyway.
Thank you, going to try this and see if my image quality improves. Although in my case i'm getting a decent picture but strange colours. Anything green (such as trees/grass) is appearing reddish/purple
I absolutely love Crutchfield, because they give every explanation of how to hookup aftermarket parts to every car system I've used so far. I've been using and learning from them for over 10 years, and not been disappointed yet.
purchased my gear from CF. Installed everything else except for the reverse camera. Rainy weather an garage availability was making me lazy. Had this great video pop up in my YT Feed. Will be procrastinating less to hook up the reverse now. Thanks.
Seriously!!! I bought this used car a few days ago. the last owner put in a Jenson CAR910x and it was a mess... I was sure that I had fixed everything, but the cam would not work. read a bunch of wire diagrams and watched a bunch of videos. But yours somehow cut thru the confusion and I now have a back-up camera!! Thanks
Just bought a head unit and backup camera from crutchfield for my 2006 4runner. Their customer support team and these videos have been incredibly helpful! Beyond impressed with these guys!
Plenty of tutorials say tap to the reverse light. But that's not the only solution!!! Appreciate this video explained many ways to wire. Very knowledgeable!
Thank you so much! I am usually knowledgeable about this kinda stuff, but out of the 2 options offered by my camera manufacturer, but i was really confused. You set everything straight.
I'm new to the backup camera thing I just bought a boss 7" floating screen and I've watched a dozen videos and this is by far the most incredible walk through ever this video alone needs one million likes hands down
@@crutchfield your welcome havnt put the camera up yet been sick but once over it i will be watching this video again for sure thanks and keep up the good content
Another terrific guide from Crutchfield! I've been dealing with them since the 80s. There is no better source for car technology knowledge or deals than Crutchfield.
Perfect video. This is a real person talking about what his headline states. Some of these videos morons want to talk about their vehicle in which they are installing a camera in. And no stupid music. Great job. Oh, and you spoke clearly.
@@crutchfield can I ask you something? Your way worked exactly. My digital screen goes into black mode but it says "no signal". When I put it into drive it goes right back to the radio as it should. Why would it say "no signal"? I relocated the ground wire just in case it was that but still nothing.
Sounds like you may want to double check your video connections and camera settings on the radio as well. If you got the camera and/or radio here, you can call our Tech Support, Their direct number is on your invoice.
This was a great video. Your the only one who explained how I can have my reverse camera work with a trigger for reverse and constantly running at the same time. This is fantastic for a split android screen and if I wanted it hooked up two way's so I can record the back of my car 24/7 while driving then still switch to rear camera for reversing when triggered.
Well, I am surprised that more folks are not talking about the wireless transmitters ... one of which I just installed in my car and I saved me all the disassembly of the interior body panels and wiring that darn wire through the length of the car !!!
OMG!! Hours and hours looking for a video that would explain why my rear view camera wasn't working. Finally this video made my camera work!! Phew! Sir, you're a life saver! I was about to give up and return my system back to Amazon thinking maybe the unit was defective. I installed it precisely that way the instructions said and camera did not want to work. The instructions never mentioned anything about the "convenience wire". That was my issue. Since it makes no mention of it, and in other TH-cam videos for that matter, I didn't bother with it. This video made everything make sense. Thank you so much!
I am happy you found our video helpful for your situation. We provide lifetime Technical Support for all products purchased, as well as Mastersheet vehicle-specific instructions when available for your specific vehicle. This is a huge reason to shop with us instead of big-box retailers that are not specialists in the gear they sell.
Late to the party, but I can strongly recommend not to use the convenience wire as a power supply feed. They are typically too long too thin therefore too high resistance for passing enough current for some cameras.
Omg thank you so much for this explanation! I was so frustrated with the limited instructions for my back up cam and couldn't figure out why the head unit wasn't switching to my camera when putting the car in reverse. Seems like it's gonna be about a thirty minute fix to attach those convenience wires. Forever grateful.
Outta the 10 videos ive just watched- this hands down is the most dumbed down explanation to help out anyone in wiring up that reverse camera. I praise you for your lesson oh mighty one 😆😅🙏🙏
This just saved me so much time and stress. The instructions I got with my stereo told me to connect the reverse trigger wire to a wire behind my dash which would take a lot of effort. It's nice knowing I can just tie it in with the reverse light used to power the camera.
Super clear and concise and helped me complete an installation that has saved multiple parking frustations! I wish all videos were done this well. Thank you.
Thank you Chris, like Devin said a year ago, this video is the best on TH-cam if not the best anywhere Also CRUTCHFIELD is fabulous for electronics for your home or automobile Good Luck!!
Chris, very well done and informative... Look forward to more videos from you! VERY glad you went through the different variations so people could see why others may have done or said what they did. You DA MAN!!!!
Getting mine installed was a PITA, camera manual had no hints on what to use that little trigger wire for, and the head unit manual said it would automatically switch to the camera when 'hooked up to backup lamp circuitry.' I know my electrics, so I THOUGHT I understand what they meant. After watching countless videos already, I decide to check with the guys I bought the system from. Lo and behold, I now have it wired correctly! Now to get that stubborn plate screw out...
THANK YOU!! I was going nuts wondering what that little wire is for and where it goes, and why the heck it only works in reverse lmao. Now I know what to do to fix this. Thanks again! By the way, you need to do the second setup to be able to see the camera while adjusting parking lines... If you have it for reverse only setup, you'll have to be in reverse to adjust them in setup
I am happy that you found our video useful! Thank you for the kind words. We try hard to take the guess work out of performing your own installs, we are do-it-yourselfers too!
Thanks for explaining the convenience wire and the reverse trigger wire. The trigger wire was labeled "rear camera power" on my Boss radio and that slowed me down a lot. Need to mention to turn the camera function on in radio's "Camera Settings" menu.
I’ve ordered everything needed for my dodge caravan 2016 from your site it’s nice to see a company with tutorials and telling me we can help you thank you for a great video
Tomorrow's project, rewire my reversing camera that I only just installed myself, last week. I've been looking for how to view it at any time and not just when in reverse. Cheers for the extremely helpful video 👍🏼
Thanks Crutchfeild, This makes it so much easier to understand what all the wires are and for and all the different ways to get set up. 2 Thumbs up from me Down under "
This is really quite clear and comprehensive video with clarity. May be , the narration could be added with circuit diagrams . How to go for 2 cameras on oncord plus ?
Would it be possible to connect the red camera wire to the purple wire and then splice the red camera wire together with the accessory wire or would that be dangerous?
This answered my questions exactly!!! Thank you so much. I had just finished wiring my radio and harness together and of course I only had my purple wire (Reverse +) left. My radio has a second harness (for Audio/Video input for camera and Media player) and I was trying to figure out if I'd be hooking into the reverse circuit, or powering from the head unit (since there was another power and ground line on the second harness). Now I know the differences. Thank you again.
@@crutchfield Yes I have a Boss radio that came with a backup camera. I haven't installed it yet but the radio comes with a power wire specifically for the camera, so my plan is to use that
I just bought a boss BE9ACP-C with you guys for my 2012 ford fiesta and had you guys pre-wire everything (ReadyHarness). It's already in the car without the camera wired yet so I can't look at it right now. But from what I can tell... since I have the AX-ADBOX1 interface module (in addition to my AX-ADFD02 harness)... the head unit will know when I'm in reverse already thanks to the module. So I only have to get power to the camera via the convenience wire (not reverse lights) so that I can have power all the time in an effort to have it automatically come on in reverse AND be able to toggle it on and off. Did... did I do my homework correctly? Not an electrician or skilled in this field at all but I've had a lot of fun trying to figure this stuff out thanks to you guys for providing the awesome products, the resources like this video... and potentially support via youtube comments! Cheers to Crutchfield !
@@crutchfield wow. Talking about a fast response. Okay, no special wires for this necessary? Just the 12v to camera via “convenience cable” and the black and yellow cable for video? You guys are the best!
That's all the wires that are needed! If you purchased the camera as well, you can contact our technical support for help ensuring you are connecting the backup camera power wires to the correct wires in the vehicle
It is never a good idea to attempt to cut and splice RCA video signal wires. If you need to extend the length of the RCA video cable from your camera to your radio, you can use the T-Spec V10 RCA Video cable (available in 3-foot, 9-foot, and 20-foot lengths) in the first link below and the T-Spec RCA barrel connectors in the second link. www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc166/p_120V10R9V/T-Spec-v10-Series-Video-Cable-9-foot.html www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc166/p_120RCABFN/T-Spec-RCA-Barrel-Connectors.html

Welcome, R DONIS! Glad we could help. Hope your installation goes well.
This is why I buy all my car electronics from Crutchfield. I once asked them to price match and they did. Instant sale!
Thanks for shopping with us! 🙂
This is extremely high-quality instruction, thank you.
I wanted to come back in here and give a second like to this. THANK you so much for this... It was a breeze after this guide.
That is awesome! So glad we could be of help! What vehicle did you do the install on?
This was wonderfully concise. Thank you for such a clear video
You're welcome! It's great to hear that you found it helpful. 🙂
I never comment on videos. But this was so to the point and helpful. Thanks
You're welcome! It's great to hear that you found it helpful. 🙂
This answered my questions exactly!!! Thank you so much. I had just finished wiring my radio and harness together and of course I only had my purple wire (Reverse +) left. My radio has a second harness (for Audio/Video input for camera and Media player) and I was trying to figure out if I'd be hooking into the reverse circuit, or powering from the head unit (since there was another power and ground line on the second harness). Now I know the differences. Thank you again.
You're welcome! We are glad to know that this video helped you get up and running
thanks someone who actually told us something useful
You're welcome! It's great to hear that you found it helpful. 🙂

about to start this on my own car, this video helped IMMENSELY. Thanks!
We are glad it helped!! Hope the install was a success!!
Thank you so much for this comprehensive video on wiring methods!!
You're welcome, Otis. Hope your installation goes well. If you need anything else, please let us know.
Thank you guys, you saved me from calling your tech support line, the video answered all my questions! YAY Thank you !
YAY!! You're welcome!
This video is so helpful, thanks so much. My radio comes with power for the backup camera so now I know how I want this wired.
You're welcome, Freddie. Are you planning to use a specific backup camera?
@@crutchfield Yes I have a Boss radio that came with a backup camera. I haven't installed it yet but the radio comes with a power wire specifically for the camera, so my plan is to use that
Okay, cool. Hope your installation goes well and you enjoy your new radio/camera.
Great video clear and direct straight to the point thanks
You're welcome! It's great to hear that you found it helpful. 🙂
I just bought a boss BE9ACP-C with you guys for my 2012 ford fiesta and had you guys pre-wire everything (ReadyHarness). It's already in the car without the camera wired yet so I can't look at it right now. But from what I can tell... since I have the AX-ADBOX1 interface module (in addition to my AX-ADFD02 harness)... the head unit will know when I'm in reverse already thanks to the module. So I only have to get power to the camera via the convenience wire (not reverse lights) so that I can have power all the time in an effort to have it automatically come on in reverse AND be able to toggle it on and off. Did... did I do my homework correctly? Not an electrician or skilled in this field at all but I've had a lot of fun trying to figure this stuff out thanks to you guys for providing the awesome products, the resources like this video... and potentially support via youtube comments! Cheers to Crutchfield
!
Sounds like you nailed it!
@@crutchfield wow. Talking about a fast response. Okay, no special wires for this necessary? Just the 12v to camera via “convenience cable” and the black and yellow cable for video? You guys are the best!
That's all the wires that are needed! If you purchased the camera as well, you can contact our technical support for help ensuring you are connecting the backup camera power wires to the correct wires in the vehicle
Thank you for making such a detailed video! You really helped me with connecting my backup cam
You're welcome! We are glad it helped
Excellent explanation of the wiring options.
Thanks! We hope this helps any do the install themselves and has helped you too
Super helpful! Finding the reverse circuit on my tractor was a little difficult though.
That seems like a bit of an understatement on some tractors lol Glad you figured it out
Literally told me everything and I mean everything I needed to know!
We are glad to know that it helped! What vehicle did you install a backup camera onto?
@crutchfield 1997 Ford Ranger 🤣
Pickups can be fun! Did you bring the cable inside through the back of the cab?
Excellent video and very clear information 👍👍👍
Thanks for the kind words! 🙂
Insanely helpful video. My camera came with no instructions and I had no clue what the convenience wire was
Sounds like you're all set?
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for breaking it all down.
You're welcome! Glad we could help
Kudos, great video, nothing else needed, thus video answer all of your questions! 👏
Thanks, Hector! :)
Thank you sir! very clear. I did not have the trigger wire connected and wondered why camera didn't work when in reverse.
You're welcome. John. Sounds like you got your camera installed and working properly?
finally figured out why my backup camera wouldn't automatically trigger when put in reverse....I didn't connect that extra wire. Thanks!
You're certainly welcome. It's great to hear that you solved the problem! 🙂
My cam wire from the radio head is to short to make it to the license plate cam mount. Can I cut the wire and solder on extra wire to make it longer?
It is never a good idea to attempt to cut and splice RCA video signal wires. If you need to extend the length of the RCA video cable from your camera to your radio, you can use the T-Spec V10 RCA Video cable (available in 3-foot, 9-foot, and 20-foot lengths) in the first link below and the T-Spec RCA barrel connectors in the second link.

Thank you for this amazing video! Very detailed and helped me wire my camera to my head unit. While both wiring diagrams did not help this video did!
You're welcome! Glad your installation went well.
The best explanation ever!
Thanks mate!
You're welcome! 🙂
Thank you, best camera tutorial on youtube and I checked them all !
You're welcome! It's great to hear that you found it helpful! 🙂
@@crutchfield I couldnt find a good tutorial for my front camera yet.
What model camera are you using?
Best video I’ve seen for this explanation
Thanks! 🙂
Wow over 5 year having a boss camera that comes with my amp collecting dust on the garage and you just save that cameras life 😅😅😅gracias
