A big THANK YOU for making and posting this video! Saved me a ton of time yesterday, and now I have a similar camera system (ZeroEdge Dual-lens Cam) installed. The hardest part was fishing wires through the rubber tube collar and down the frame. One has to be careful when fishing wires so that they don't strip typically quite thin insulation layer against very sharp metal edges. For the same reason, the way you put the A/V wire through to the front of the car (i.e., by first removing bottom panels and laying the wire along with and securing to existing cables, instead of just tucking the wire under) is crucial. Great job!

Very helpful! I just bought a backup camera that came with no instructions. After watching your video, I think I can successfully tackle the job. Thanks!!!

So helpful. I just fininshed installing rear dashcam on my odyssey after watching this one. Thank you so much!👍

Thanks for your video. It helped me installing the rear sensor to my Odyssey 2010

thanks for posting this video - very helpful! i used it as a tutorial to install a nearly identical system into my wife's car. thanks!

Thanks - this was helpful. I'm getting ready to do something similar in my 2006 model. It's a little different since the backup lights aren't on the tailgate, but it gives me a good starting point.

Very useful video. I just did it this morning.

Thanks for taking the time to post the video. I recently removed this exact mirror with a different camera from a friends truck. It will be installed onto my truck but I have a couple of questions. 1-what are the three buttons for on the backside of the mirror? 2-the mirror was powered off of a 12v source up front and worked only when in reverse. It seemed to operate normal wired like that. I guess it triggers off of the video RCA? I didn't get a manual for this set up. Did your manual specify to run the 12V from the rear?

Thank you for posting!

Thanks man doing this to my 2002 Odyssey

Great video, I found it very helpful. .. great job....

Thank you very much!!! This video was extremely well DONE!! PROFESSIONAL GRADE!!

Thank you! You took the mystery out of it, and it certainly looks like a capable DIY'r could tackle it. ...even in the dark. :-)

Good clean job . Well done 👍🏼

Great job. I think I like the rear view mirror type better. The great thing with this is if I get another car I can just remove it. Now I just need to find a cheap rear view mirror type. I already have the camera.

Video was very helpful, but sadly I bought the exact same monitor that you demonstrated and I absolutely HATED the monitor. during day light driving, the outside glare was way too much to see anything from the monitor. I was very disappointed, and in the end I end up spending more to change the monitor. But without a doubt, your video helped me with my installation, but there's much to be desired from that monitor

Just watched this now, Dial2fast. My Xtreme system is almost identical. I will wire it into my 2004 Ford Freestar... run wires more simply out of the way. Good that you mentioned that white RCA jack into mirror (auxiliary, right?). Thanks. This helps.

Brilliant many thanks now I know how to fit mine👍👍

Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

so i just bought the same one for my mom and for the life of me can not figure out how to wire it up im trying to test it before i install it and it will not turn on

Can you post the link you purchased the product from? I'm looking to getting both. Thanks!!

Gave me a good idea what I'd be getting into if I decide to install a rear-facing dashcam on my Odyssey. Rethinking now. Thanks.

how is it in day light? Is the LCD screen bright enough during the day?

good video , thanks for sharing

Nice vid mate

Great tutorial. Any advice for those install into a nav unit? Specifically the hiding of the wires? Your video shows pretty much everything up until running the wires to the A-pillar, which I wouldn't think you would have to do when going into a nav unit. Any helpful tips? Thanks

Good clean install

Thank you, love this video, im going to add a back up cam to my 2002 odyssey. I was thinking of taking out that entire radio part and putting a touch screen panel with camera i dont know if thats possible. is it?

I tried to feed the RCA plug through the opening as you shown in the video but there is no opening. I confirmed this by shining a light through on the other side of the weatherstripping and no light came through. It looks like the metal panels are fused together and there's no way for the cable to go through and down. I see the other wires and cables going "Up" through the headliner but none going down on the rubber boot side. Would I need to go up and through the headliner like what the other wires are doing? I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey and perhaps there are difference in the metal frame?

I could not figure out how to remove the handle from the back hatch (which hides the bolts) so I could remove the back hatch panel. I will try that! Thank you for your video!

Thanks for the video, its perfect. Quick question how did you route the cable from the mirror to the passenger side, along the roof.

This is a very detailed and helpful tutorial. Thanks! I do have one concern about the product that I was hoping you could help with before I go about installation. When I look at the mirror, both pre and post-installation, it doesn't seem that the device is very clear or effective as a basic rearview mirror when the car is not in reverse. Do you have issues with rearview visuality when the LCD is not active?

Thanks for the video. I learned a lot of specifics that will save me time on any project like this on my Odyssey. I don't know if you can answer this, but I have a 2008 with reverse cam, but there no grids to help "see" where the car is when you are backing up. First, how did you align the grid when you installed. Further do you know where the grid is injected? Is it the LCD or the cam that adds the grid? I would like to modify my odyssey to have the grid which are very useful in backing up in tight spaces.

I got this monitor aswell, but it just turns on and off everytime i put it in reverse. I kind of flashes in an uneven pattern. I got a + from reverse light, and just grounded the camera in my backhatch, then the RCA cable has a little red wire which i assume is a remote wire, so i attached that to the reverse light + aswell. And at the monitor i grounded it at the interior lights, and the RCA cable connected to the monitor and red remote wire to monitors +. But all the monitor does is flash whenever i put in reverse.

So does this mean there is no way to plug the newer the newer model of the back up camera into my old version where it only shows just the very middle of what is behind me..??? It doesn't show the wider view of what is behind you or even as clear as the new one does... I am not opposed to putting it in the rear view mirror it's just that I have that great big screen already for it :)

Hey, great video! Just a quick question: how does it compare to having the separate screen that you had before? Which do you prefer? I see that on your previous install you had the screen above the mirror but the mirror is lower down? Also, how's this new screen function mirror in the daylight? I see that some screens look quite dark...

How heavy is the mirror with the camera installed on the actual rear mirror? Last camera i had needed to adjust it everytime because it was heavy...

Thanks for posting. I'm going to be running a coax cable for a Blackvue DR650GW-2CH two-channel dashcam and it was very useful to see how you're removing panels and running the cable. Would you recommend the passenger side or the driver side for my camera? There are fuse blocks on both side, but I'll probably want to use an add-a-circuit on the drivers side since it has a switch to control parked recording.

Great video man!! I have a Honda Odyssey 2003 well this work for mine as well please reply

Screw that. I'll just pay a professional to install it!!! Great video man!

This has been very helpful, thanks. My kit has the back-up sensors and camera. "not wireless" The instructions seem to suggest I tap the sensors and camera into the back-up lights for power but also again for the camera at the front end of the car. why would I need to power the camera at both ends? Electric isn't my thing so I must be misunderstanding something. Thanks for any help.

Hello - I'm trouble shooting my back up camera (wired to a pioneer head unit). Everything engages when in reverse, however, the image projected on my screen is flickering and appears in black and white (it's a color camera). I know it's a long shot, but I just thought I'd ask if you might have any idea why this is happening. Thanks for reading!

Hi. I've just bought a wireless camera kit, have I made a mistake?

how u double up your revering camera as a re view dash cam

Hello. I have installed this xamera on my car and it worked fine for some time but now it is operating very slowly, basically lagging be it in selecting the menu options or the camera it self. Any idea why this could happen and how to fix it?

good job man

again very good sir, in real time, how long did it take to do it, and the ground could have been secured to the chasis at the rear could it not. for 23 bucks that seems good, some time later could you update the camera in the day time and or park , would it be good enough to hitch a trailer too maybe

well done.

Thanks for the video, would have been better if more details about wiring was given since the instructions that come with the product are useless. Did you use the reverse lamp wire to supply 12v power to both the camera AND the mirror?

I have a question about wiring. I bought a rearview camera with recording capacity that came with the rear view mirror as a screen. Rearview mirror is simple enough to strap around the old mirror and has a only one power line to connect to the cigarette lighter connector. The question is a wiring the rearview camera. It came with 2 wires (black and red) that black goes to the front mirror for pictures and red is the power source that connects to the back up light to turn on the camera when gear shift in reverse. I understand till this part. But if engine is turned off, there is no power to display the camera or record. I need an extra power line to connect to the rearview camera from the battery source or fuse box. But, if I connect that power line with red line that came out of rearview camera instead of backup light what about backup light screen that it came up automatically when I'm in reverse? Do you know what I mean? Otherwise I have to run a dedicated third wire but where do I connect the third line? Please advice me how to solve this problem. Tks.

Great video! I am wondering couple of things 1 - why do you need to feed three wires all the way to the front? You already have the power and ground picked up from the backup lights. Why do you need extra power and ground going from the front to back? Given the solid state camera, it would be drawing minimal power and there would be no need to have it feed separately 2 - I thought there were wireless camera available for this application for just few dollars more which needs no wires running from front to back?

is it really okay to tap power for both of them on the reverse lights? will it overload the fuse/wire or something? thanks

Late lol.. but awesome vid. About to install one in my Tacoma. But quick question if you're still active.. is that beeping noise backing up the mirror or something else?

It is not easier to feed it through the headliner? That way you pulling out less stuff , plus your wire will be long enough.

I like this video is it possible to install a backup camera on a 2009 Honda civic

Do you have a video of how the mirror looks in the day ?

Got a question? == So I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey Touring and already have a backup camera. I looked around and maybe could put the second camera on the opposite side next to the license plate light. Where would you suggest I put a second camera? Would the install work the same way as using the reverse light to connect as you have done? Install looks easy until you take it apart and do it.

does it have guide lines

How would you suggest i wire mine to always stay on. I have a 2000 Dodge Neon Flat Black with 5% window tint in the back. I would like my camera to always be on so its easier to see during day and night. Here are the options i have been thinking: 1. Wiring it directly to my second battery 2. Keep my headlights always on and wire it directly to me tail lights If you know of any other options please let me know.

why is there no provision for the rear camera?

Can you post the link you purchased the product from? I'm looking to get one. Thanks!!

do I have to get the positive wire from the fuse box thanks

Would you mind if I ask which brand of mirror you used? Was it Chuanganzhuo? Do you ever have any issues seeing the display when it's very bright outside?

hi, did you have any problems getting the cables under the trim between the mirror/windshield. I'm trying to install a camera in my different car (04 Toyota Avalon) and can't find any way to get the cables under there. not sure if its different in the odyssey but if possible please let me know.

hi, one quick question. The 12 volt wire you ran along side with the rca cable, is that one wire only? meaning there is no black negative within that red cable as well correct. At about the 11:22 mark the connection you have there is the reverse 12 volt connected to the power cord to the mirror and the ground from the mirror is just an extension to the ground. Can you just confirm all that. please and thank you.

I have a taurus 2013 with a screen, how can I make the camera work along with the screen?

I have question I am trying to purchase backup camera the wireless one what you think about and the package it will come with one transmitter and one receiver 2.4ghz so I was thinking on project of side camera like how the new Honda accord when you turn either right or left signal the camera kick on showing blind spot do you think if I buy 2 cameras with to transmitter 2.4ghz is it gonna be working same screen tft that comes with rear backup camera package I thought if they have same frequency so three transmitter and one receiver and supply side camera with turn signal light please any advice and what gonna happen if I put hazard on thanks

Great video. How much did you pay for that particular model?

Hi, question about the mirror. Before you install everything, when the mirror is powered but with no video input, does it show a blue screen?

Thank you for the video! I have a 2008 Odyssey and this was helpful to know where to run the camera wire through to the main part of the cabin. My camera came with a 26' cable which was the perfect length. a.co/d/9XQaRWz It was REALLY difficult to get the camera wire through the grommet. The grommet is really tight space. Note that the Steering Wheel Control wire on the 2007 Odyssey is in a different place; I found another video that identified it. It is on the main radio connector. Also instead of the rear view mirror, I bought an Android Head Unit and installed that to connect to the camera.

Hi buddy, wish to clear few query, I've just got a new car and I want to install a reserve sensor camera from a local dealer but not the showroom, the only doubt I got is will the fitter play around with the Suzuki wire, as if so my warranty of the car can be void? thanking you awaiting for your reply

How is the washout problem on the screen in direct sunlight?

question why not just run the wires along the roof under the trim at top of doors and/or under head of head liner so you didnt need to extend av cable?

can i please know the exact model of this mirror? i would like to order this for my mazda 3. as well as the exact camera model would be appreciated if ud put that info in the description. we know we can search them, but there are ppl that want what they see in this video. tyvm

do you require a ground both front and back? can you just hookup the rear ground?

Good video.can you send me link of the exact product. I want to buy one.thanks

Hello, Any of you have encounter vibration problem when the screen is fixed on your existing mirror? Note that the screen is well fixed

Sorry, I meant mirror at the front. Do I power everything off the back-up lights? Back-up sensors, camera and the mirror that is up front. The instructions seem to say I must also get power again up front for the mirror? And did I see that you did that as well. Thank you

My camera is showing my images on opposite sides then what they are. Example. The car behind me is parked on the right but in the camera it shows on the left. Any clue how to fix this

Why do you need to run the 12v to the front? Shouldn't that only activate the camera? Or is it needed to activate the lcd screen?

what did you use as the 12 volt power up front

dial2fast I was wondering if I could ask you for help with the wiring?

What's the White auxiliary cable for?

Is there a reason you chose to not run this under the headliner? it seem that it will be the shortest distance for cable run. Thanks!

Hi I installed the same system in my car but when I press the brakes when is on reverse the screen flickers what I need to fix

hi i have a backup camera similar to the one you have.i was not able to follow as closely to the way you wired it.im having the hardest time.i connected the video in.and powered the red wire to my reverse light.put the vehicle in reverse.and nothings happening.

Quick question, what year is this Odyssey?

Does the dealership provide this service?

Is that a trailer hitch connector at 6:59?

can you send me a link to where i can buy this rear-view camera

How to get power

There's an awful lot of "should have" situations I noticed in this install.

And same thing with the 2003-2007 Honda Accord

What year of car?

What size of the red power wire did you use?

god damn i need a tutorial for a 4 door sedan

You should get wireless version

Would have been better if you showed the install of the mirror piece rather than just the camera.

I must have bought a rubbish one, LCD is fine until you get into the sunlight, then you cant see it. No adjustments on it.

MULTIMETRE SETTING?????????????????????????? we don't know!!!
