Awesome!!!

You are a bold man. There is no way on God’s green earth that I would have attempted this installation without you doing it first, and thankfully doing a great job of documenting your actions. Cheers.

Very nice job! I appreciate how you used an existing power port instead of wiring into the fuse box. Definitely something I am going to look at for my 2021 F150 truck.

Ding! This is an EXCELLENT instructional video. Many KZreadrs could benefit from your example. Thanks. Also, do you have any recommendations about how to wire a rear-facing camera in the rear window of the F-150?

Very detailed and simple instructions! Thanks

good job Ding

Nicely done! Very professional, thorough and well explained. Not sure what else is on your channel, but this was so good I subscribed!

Very good video. going to try to go to fuse panel so my camera has constant power for the most part!

视频不错！ 正在找F150隐藏线的攻略

you can also go under the center console I found that out when I lost a credit card down the side of the console and only found it because I slid the seat all the way back and found it barely sticking out on the passenger side of the console.

Hi Ding, i found your way more easier. Where did you get the rear view mirror cable holder. Do you have the link? Thanks

That’s a good start. You removed a lot of trim. I would’ve pulled the passenger seat up and got underneath the carpet with your cable to where it doesn’t interfere with the seat brackets, then got in the console.

Great work! Good vid! Do you have a shop?

Did your camera flicker or get a white screen? I don’t know if it’s the cables or just the adapter that doesn’t give it enough power

My camera working properly. Can you try take off the camera and use a different power source? This will help determine if the issue is your power source or the camera itself

Great video. I like this approach. “Santa” got me the very same camera for my 17 F150. Is there an issue with the cigarette lighter power supply? I heard that they don’t power off for up to an hour after the truck is shut off. I don’t want anything to be drawing the battery.

Thanks! I didn’t notice about the lighter port having power for that long after turning off the car.

Also, the camera has an internal battery that should keep it running for sometime after turning off the truck.

I tested my 12v plug in the console. It stays hot for up to an hour. I wasn’t comfortable with that. I ran the wires the same way you did but with a couple changes. I ran the wire under the front floor mat and between the seat and console. I have 2 USB ports in the back side of the console that never get used. When I removed the cup holder and rear console cover it occurred to me that could just pull out one the the USB’s and let them hang inside the cover. I simply plugged the power cord into the loose USB. I tide up the remaining wire with a zip tie and just left it in the open space. Put everything back together. Only visible wire you can see is near the camera itself. Everything else is 100 % hidden.

Keep in mind you loose parking mode completely by powering the camera via USB as shown. It’s very simple to use the fuse taps included in the hardwire kit at the fuse panel. This was all the work of a proper hardwire installation with none of the benefits. Pulling the trim and hiding wires is the hardest part.

Yea I don't get bypassing the fuse box and like you said you lose a major benefit of these cameras

I wired my can to the same spot in the center console but that plug works independent of the car ignition which means my camera was on 24/7. This is on a 2022 F150 :(

I think I read somewhere that the center console stays powered for about 1 hour? 24/7 sounds very strange!

Your camera does not stay on 24/7. It has to be hard wired to the fuse panel in the 32 slot.

what camera did you buy

this is the one I bought, I really like it: amzn.to/3OdDr8Q

Why not jus tap into the connector on the rear view instead of running a wire throughout the truck? Black wire is power, green is ground. Automatically powers on and off with the truck.

Good idea! Just have to make sure you use a 12Volt to 5 Volt USB converter adapter for the connection to the camera. Otherwise you have a mismatch on voltage, and the camera may not have an internal voltage converter.

You were doing such a nice job; and then you laid it on the floor in the back under the mat. 🤦🏻

id feel nervous about a wire running visible under floor mat

SOME TECHNICIAN will install to the ACC directly connected to the fuse box UNDER steering wheel, which is more stable power supply than the lighter plug.
