Hey man, Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad that it helped you. And I'll admit that I rushed through the wiring explanation! I'll revisit it in the near future since it's technically not done yet. Cheers!

Thanks man! I'm glad you found the video. 🤙

I'm glad this video helped you, Emily! Let me tell ya, i didn't know anything about cars until 2015 so it's never too late to learn and do things. The back up camera is a convenient mod for sure! Feel free to ask if you have any questions in the future!

Thanks man! I tried 😅

Thanks for watching! 😬

Thanks, man! I don't think so? You might need to double-check if the headunit has a video input.

Hey man. The USB cable is actually built in the headunit. Check your headunit's manufacturer if it comes with USB connectivity first ✌🏼

Thanks man! Power and ground from the camera side: tail light reverse and ground.

Honestly, i feel it does. You have more surface area to see stuff but mostly inside and not the visibility outside. It's wide enough to see your rear and a blind spot. 👌🏼

I appreciate it man! I'll update this in the future but I would run a longer power wire from the camera along with the video wire an hook it up with the headunit's power and negative

@@ItsEricVenzon Did you ever make an update video, or figure out how to have the camera turned on even when you're not engaging reverse?

@@ThatRedNismo I haven't had the time because I changed my headunit. But to make the camera on all the time is to tap the reverse wire from the camera (rear) to accessory which would be along way from the back. That's my hypothesis.

Hey! Thanks for checking in. My Firestones are doing fine right now, great in dry, good in light rain. I haven't tried it on heavy rain. I haven't considered Potenza but last time I checked that they're basically the same company.

I’m thinking to get some Continental DWS I live in Washington so hopefully they work well with the weather and grip!

@@xlegendxftw1427 Oh they definitely should man!

I'm not sure what you're referring to but my back up camera has been working for years now.

The back of the headunit has an empty space on both sides to pass through any wires. Just feed the wires up to the back of the driver dash and catch it from the back of the head unit. I hope it makes sense! Feel free to message me on Instagram for a photo reference. 🤙🏼

@@ItsEricVenzon I’m gonna sound like a lunatic but I managed to wire it UPWARDS from the pedals 😭😂 got it above the steering wheel in a trough with other wires, then fed it through this small opening on the back left side of the head unit. My neck hurts, but it’s DONE

@@mkezar4530 that works too! And yeah, i hate working inside the cabin, it's horrendous but I'm glad you got them routed,

Hey man, great question! I actually thought of that at first but upon researching on how to take apart the center section, it's actually more time consuming to pass through wires through the middle. You would have to remove both sides of the interior to get the middle part off. ✌🏼

@@ItsEricVenzon ahhhhh ok. Honestly I keep starting to do this project and stopping. There's already a backup camera license plate frame wired in, but I don't think I can plug it into the head unit I installed. I may at least be able to follow the wires of the old one to wire the new one, but the new one is from this absurdly massive 12 inch screen from Alibaba I put in with 0 instructions. Maybe I'll give it another shot cause it looks like this one is wired the same exact way you did it, running along the driver side.

I'm back, with my trunk apart, attempting to put this camera in AGAIN for like the 12th time LOL this time I've actually taken the tail light off so I'm already much further than I was before haha...this car tho... literally zero visibility when backing up. I can't take it anymore. Half the time when I'm backing out of a parking space I just kind of hold my breath and hope for the best lol

@@ItsEricVenzon ugh I'm bout to blow you up again sorry lol... at 4:30 you tapped the appropriate wire- which wire? When I took my tail light off and followed the bulb, it's a green and black wire... Did you tap in somewhere else to a some red wire I'm unaware of further down the line? Because it looks difficult to tap into this green wire there isn't much room

@@SwazNasty Haha it's all good. I'm here to help. I totally missed to point out which wire it was! My bad! As far as I remembered, it was the green/mint/teal wire. You will have to pull down or open up the sleeve/tape that's wrapping all of the wires and that's how I managed to wire tap it. I will upload an updated video this spring because I still need to hook up the headunit properly 😁

This is a Sony XAVAX3000. I believe this unit is discontinued and successes into XAVAX3250

Check your head unit settings, or the item listing (wherever you bought it) to see if it's flipped image cameras or if they have a wire for flipped image (because sometimes they have those)

@@ItsEricVenzon hmmm let me look. The head unit didn’t seem to have any adjustment settings. It’s the same one you bought

@@jdn9 interesting. What about the camera?

@@ItsEricVenzon nothing that flips the image. Only like color settings and stuff. It’s weird though. It flips the right way if you tap the camera. I’m thinking it’s a wiring issue

@@jdn9 oh boy. What's your headunit model?

☝It's in the description.

@@ItsEricVenzon The link doesn't work anymore.

@@Pollojr_ my bad. It expired. DM me on insta and I'll find you a similar one.

Thanks man! It's a Sony XAV-AX3000 and I installed it on this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l72Sh6R4ueDGaIE.html The headunit is intuitive, not a whole lot of confusion features and it works how you think it should work. No complaints at all!

Thanks bro. Planning on getting this on my Z. Hopefully I don’t break anything. Lol

@@titoleokusinero1253 You're welcome! Feel free to hit me up with questions when installing it. It's always nerve wracking doing sht like this lol

😂 I'll update this one this year. DM me at my Instagram: @its.ericvenzon

@@ItsEricVenzon it's ok just wanting to let you know people like me who don't understand diagrams tend to want an easier route, which is why you make videos...to make it easy for slow people like me 😅 I prefer lettering instead of a diagram pic ...for example: camera red wire splices into tail light blue wire and camera black wire splices into tail light black wire 😅 Overall yes, your video is probably the best video out there so I am still watching it while doing this upgrade on mine 💪💪 just wanting to let you know 😀 I actually found a link to the wiring lol What I did tho, instead of passing the wire through the trim I passed it through the weather strip up the the back seat and through the driver side center console :) thanks for the vid 💪💪💪

@@hiimappy haha okay i understand now. I just hope you got them buttoned up properly. I've taken apart the interior hatch maybe 10 times already and I hate it. 😅
