Great job explaining how to hook up my backup camera . I've searched 6 other KZreadrs and none explained it so clearly as you. Thanks so much . I started install and got stuck on the red wire near camera . And to NOT do what I also wrongly thought was correct , which was the reverse light to the red . You just saved me $90 , $100 , $150 . Those are quoted prices .

I know this is an older video but it saved me from some frustration on my NEX install on my 2018 Nissan Titan. Could not find anything in the manual that came with it that stated that the factory backup camera input was the brown Rca input. Thank you for all the work you two put into sharing your knowledge. Defenitely helps out the DIYer!

Same here with my Frontier, I had it hooked into the yellow video-in on the 1500nex

Thank you very much. The purple and white wire information was what I was missing from every other install guide trying to hook up my esky backup camera in car.

Really good info on the camera install. I will be applying that idea in my Super Duty using one camera to show the bed when I hook up to 5th wheel/Goosenecks, while the other to actually reversing mode! Thanks, Razor!

Razor Works does it force you onto the reverse camera when you're trying to hook up the 5th wheel? I'm looking at installing an ancillary camera on my trailer, for reversing, but don't know if the reverse camera view will override it

I been fighting with this rear camera for 3hrs.. re checking my wiring and my connection.. I had it plugged in in to the yellow video.. Not in the brown output 🤦🏽 U guys Explain very well in detail on all your videos.. Thanks for the 📹 videos

First off you guys are legit .. I am challenged when it comes to electrical but after one of yur rescue 911 fixes .. Ive decided that I'm not totally doomed lol.. interior panels are far more frustrating as I'm disgusted how many clips n covers I've damaged as I dove into the deepest install that still could use Lil buttoning up but I wish I would of been a subscriber prior but you guys helped me at the end :) so thank you for being the shiz .. btw I own a 09 tts audi and removed factory deck ..bose amp and ran new wires to all mid n highs with aftermarket amp n pushing L7 with a rms fosgate 500 . 720 certified monoblock and coarse a new dbl din so now Bluetooth works with audio instead of just for calling like before and have a screen . Also installed rear camera n removed back up beeping and installed toggle for a shut off to deck just in case but I also added a 2nd battery :) Its so temperamental as if a connection isn't perfect my car goes wacko .. I have it to constant only as I think it's better that way so far as if it's not running and doors shut its constantly beeping at me and appears to drain battery probably cuz of hid lights . But regardless Sitting in car with stereo on without noises is nice. Is this a smart way or ?Sorry about novel.. last thing.. I have a note 10 plus.. mirror linking has been struggle as do I need a special adapter to plug into my soundstream vr651b.. so close to being complete after so much adversity.

You guys smashed it out the park! Thank you for your help 👍🏻

yall are so awesome been watching for a great minute im also an installer and I just love watching yalls videos great help also at times I know this is an older video but its like im always seeing new videos of yall lol go ahead and wrap it up fenando lol

5 years later and still useful. Have been looking at adding front and rear cams for my Grand Cherokee to make trail driving easier.

Hi, brilliant video and helped me, I was struggling with the wire set up. I have the pioneer Avic f80 DAB radio but it looks very similar. I love the way you explain things

Great videos!! I really appreciate your awesome tips! Answered so many questions for me! Now I know what to change and why my backup camera wouldn't work other than in reverse. The BestBuy tech incorrectly wired my backup camera red wire to the reverse switch. Best wishes! Thanks!!!!!

I just install it yesterday night tomorrow I will run the cable for the Camara thank you for that.

Great video slowly going threw them, learning lots. Is it posable to get the cameras to shift between each other when parking ?

Hey you guys of been super helpful with the installation video I finally got my pioneer AVH installed but when I use the back up camera when I let off the gas it gets real shaky and the picture breaks up any thoughts on what might be

I'm installing a Pioneer 7201nex in a 2012 Ford super duty, Are there adapters to retain the use of the factory Navigation and Sirius antennas?. Do I need an additional Sirius unit?. Thank You

Okay so let me get this straight. I read though most of the comments to make sure it wasn’t already asked and didn’t see it but I’m guessing for the reverse camera to come on when I put the truck in reverse, I tap the red camera wire into the red on the head unit. The black to the negative on my battery and then run a new wire from the purple with a white stripe on the head unit back to the reverse light bulb and tap into that positive wire? And of course the rca goes into the brown rca jack

Hey guys, what front/rear camera do you recommend for the 8200NEX unit, the Pioneer BC8, or the Pac UNO 1, or any other camera option? Thanks for all of the great info!

I have a question for you in regards to the two cameras. I hooked them up correctly per your guidance and when I put the car in reverse the front camera showed on the screen, I tried swapping the plugs thinking I might have the wires crossed, but when I did the parking assist lines showed up on the front camera but not present on the actual back up camera anymore. Prior to hooking up the front camera the rear camera worked as advertised. Do you have any suggestions?

Great video thanks hopefully now I’ll be able to get my back up camera to work now.

Great video, but I have one question. I have the Pioneer NEX 4200 radio and a Radio Pro 4 adapter and trying to make sure I hook it up so the factory reverse camera works. I can't figure out where to connect the purple / white (i.e. "Reverse signal input") from the Pioneer to the Radio Pro 4. The Radio Pro 4 does have an unsued red / white cable ("Factory Reverse Camera Power") cable which does not match up to anything on the Pioneer. Should I simply connect the Pioneer purple / white cable to the Radio Pro red / white cable to get the camera to work? Or does the purple / white get joined to the main solid red cable? Thanks!

Great vid. Certain head unit has limited A/V input. I used A/V input for my dynavin miracast unit to cast my smartphone screen (Google map, tuniein, youtube, drivemode, etc) to my A/V input. I used a splitter to auto (when gear is set to "D" or "R") or manual (a physical button) switch between backup cam & front cam on my backup cam input on the kenwood ddx1035 head unit. Anyhow, great vid, keep it going.

Wanting to install a backup camera on my rv and my tow vehicle. Is it possible to use the brown and yellow camera inputs both and switch in settings which one comes on when I put in reverse depending on when I have the trailer hooked up or not? I’d like to be able to have tow vehicle cam on when disconnected and trailer come on when connected automatically. I may have to just use the brown wire and manually switch it at the plug each time I connect and disconnect the trailer.

Excellent information!

I've got a license plate mount rear camera and it has lights on it. If I take the power wire to the accessory wire of the head unit so it has power when the unit is on, won't the lights on the rear camera always be on?

Hi, for avh2300nex, I can't find the camera view setting. Does it have the function to turn on back up camera without putting on reverse?

I enjoy your videos and have learned a lot about the NEX 4200 watching them... Regarding video, I would like to use my second camera inout for a wireless camera I can move around from the box of my truck for hooking the 5th wheel I cannot see... to the back of the RV when I am pulling it. Lots of wireless cam's on the market, but all come with monitors. Can you point me to something I could point to a dedicated receiver hooked to the camera input on the NEX without needing to rig up a separate (and clumsy) transmitter on the camera end?

when connecting the Rca Cable to the back of the unit do you have to connect the red coming out of the Rca cable

What gauge wire should I use for the reverse signal wire? 22awg? As my camera harness only has one power wire and an rca video wire , I will need to run an additional line to connect to the purple reverse signal wire at the back of the deck.

Would you guys explain the difference between the battery and ground option for the reverse gear setting? Thanks!

If I add a front camera to my avh-2440nex will that prevent me from adding any type of miracast device? Looks like only 1 available input exist,could I use a splitter on the yellow rca?

Can you show a simplified how to video of how to wire the backup camera for constant power and reverse at the same time? Or post a link? Should i run a power line with my av cord from the radio power to the camera and hook the pigtail from reverse wire at radio to my reverse light?

can you make a video on setting up and wire up amp powered car antenna. I got a e46 m3 and wanna get it done NY self since the shop who installedbmine didn't bother to do it

Will this work with the AVH-211EX ? I can’t seem to figure it out.

I just purchased a cheap backup camera that has a wider viewing angle and an easier manual adjustment of the camera angle. I have the Pioneer NEX2300 and I tried the new camera but could not get it to work. The old camera still works okay. The new camera has what they say is AHD1080p. Will this work with the Pioneer are will cutting the wire harness and getting CVBS be the way to go? Wish they would have put some other switching option other than cutting the wire harness, but I bought cheap! Also does the NEX2300 have the ability to use the video input for using a front facing camera? It has the receptacle for Video input (yellow) but not the pigtail for a second camera. I also don't have second camera in the settings menu.

I got the AVH 4200 NEX, but I am missing reverse signal from my outlander 2016. There is no wire for that. Any other way how to make it working without buying new camera and running wire through the car? How about connecting rear view camera to front camera input or video input?

Can I just run a fuse tap to the reverse Fuse from the head unit? My rear lights are in a spoiler so tapping into the reverse fuse would be easier.

So... to be clear. I have a pink wire "back car" essentially what it is called reverse detection wire. For rear camera power and AV side to back of car, the reverse light + and - goes in right reverse light or just + and other goes to metal ground. On other end of that cable facing forward of a car, there is a ACC +12v and ACC GND with a blue monitor test 12V wire. Are you saying that I should connect my ACC 12V to the reversing detection wire, and not using 12V source because other end has reversing light power. Please clarify. Seicane for Hyundai IX45. Pioneer has same functions, just little different colours.

Hello! Helping a friend with a head unit and backup cam install, and we got a little confused. Originally, we were going to tie the backup cam into the power for the backup lights. However, after watching this video, you say not to do that. So, we need to run a red and black wire from the backup cam up to the front dash, to the red and black wires there. Yes? Then, to control the headhunt so it comes on when in reverse, I splice a wire into the hot wire of the backup cam and run that to the the purple/white wire on the head unit? (The head unit is one of the newer Pioneer ones.) What gauge wire should we be running? The wire on the harness and what comes to power the camera seem to be 20 or 22, but the smallest stranded I've been able to find is 18.

After installing my backup camera with the pioneer Avh4200-nex, I'm able to do what you are doing by viewing the camera at the push of a button in the menu settings. Although when I put my vehicle into reverse gear, the camera is not automatically turning on. I have the red wire powered into the accessory wire o the camera, as well as the ground to the back. Then I have the maestro rr harness system with the ch1 accessory to Retain all of my 2014 jeep wrangler's features. On the back of the radio I tapped the purple/white wire to the maestro purple wire, according to their diagram. Do I need to tap this into constant 12v (the accessory red wire or yellow) to get that to cue on, or should the pruples being connected do that already when the reverse gear is initiated?

I've been thinking about buying the AVH 4200NEX as I need two rear cameras, one for my SUV and the other for my camper. Just about every question I have had I was able to answer by watching your videos...great job!! One thing I can't find. While towing, I want to leave the camper rear camera on all of the time to use as a rear view "mirror" while driving. The question is, can I turn off the back up camera on the SUV so it won't come on or switch over when the camper camera is on. If the "always on" camper camera switches off when the SUV is put into reverse, the purpose while towing is defeated for me. Many thanks in advance!

Hi AZ Total Estate Solutions LLC...I too have a cargo trailer and I want to do the same thing as you. I have two ND-BC68 cameras, one mounted on the rear of the towing vehicle that I use to line up the trailer hitch ball, and the other is on the back of the cargo trailer. I mounted the second camera that came with my AVH-4201NEX on the back of the trailer. I want to view the trailer camera while I back up the trailer, BUT I do not want the tow vehicle's (hitch view ) camera to come on automatically when I put the vehicle in reverse. So.... even though I have not yet installed the new head unit, (I will tomorrow) my assumption is that I will choose to NOT use the purple/white striped wire. This way the head unit will NOT switch to either camera when I put the tow vehicle in reverse. I will simply choose the camera that I want to see while driving forward or reverse. This also solves a problem that I had with my previous Pioneer AVH-X2600BT unit where every stinkin time I put it in reverse the camera would come on,,, at night, the display was so bright I hated it. So,,,,, I will reiterate... I am not going to have the reverse "gear shift" automatically turn on any camera. I will choose if I want the camera on,,, and which one. I too was thinking that if I had the trailer connected and wanted to see the trailer's camera that the mere fact of having the vehicle in reverse would block my ability to CHOOSE the "other" camera. I think I have beaten a dead horse here,... but I believe that our choice to NOT use the purple/white wire is our best option. We can then choose what camera we want to see, regardless of whether we are driving forward or reverse. I hope this makes things clear.
