How to install a backup camera on a car or truck. Back up camera installation is a simple process. backup camera is also called as reverse camera. Buying a reversing camera kit is the easiest way as the kit comes with everything. Its harder to answer the question "what is the best aftermarket backup camera" coz most of them are made in china and then re branded. Anyways, if you wanna know how to install a backup camera system yourself cheaply (wired or wireless, rear view mirror or dashboard monitor or aftermarket head unit ), this would be an installation guide for you.
If you want, you can install more cameras to detect blind spots

I love how some of these install vids make it seem a peice of cake... it depends on the car... I just added one to a ford focus 2003 wagon and it was a royal pain in the ass.. fishing wiring thru the rear door hatch, then thru the rubber accordian connector to the roof area was a no go... no way an rca connector is going thru that accordian passageway which already had thick wiring in it... had to snip off the rca from the video feed wire, pass it thru, then connect to backup light then rip up more body moldings to get that wire up ftont, then had to resolder to rca back on.... took me hrs and hrs... also recommend doing a dry run before committing to the install... hook everything up to test wiring and camera..make sure it triggeers on reverse and camera shows on screen... that way you dont committ to installing a defective camera or bad wiring and have to pull it all out again.... i;d probably just turn my head and look over my shoulder vs doing this nitemare again.

Do you have a way as to how to get them to work? I have a Camry Altise 2007. The brand of the DVD is EHOTCHPOTCH.

When my mate and I installed a reverse camera in both our mazdas. His fuse popped and had to use a 15amp fuse for his to work. As for mine for some reason, I popped the fuse aswell, plus a 15 amp fuse we replaced it with. So my only option was a 25amp fuse which has proven to be the most reliable for my mazda. An now i have no issues, i dont if it's because mine is manual and his is auto. But the load on his car is different than what the load is on the system of mine

where do you connect the orange cable that is next to the video plug that joins the camera

@BalticBrothers 5 жыл бұрын

That Orange cable that comes out of your radio has to be connected to the small red cable that comes out of your video cable from the back. And at the back you connect this red cable to your + from reverse light. So your radio registers that you're in reverse because the light goes on.
