Preparation phase

First you need to install the camera itself. Therefore:

• Disconnect the positive terminal on the power supply of the machine or simply disconnect it all.

Important! If your machine model should have permanent access to the electric current, it is best to entrust the work to specialists. Otherwise, the car will be blocked, and to unblock it you will have to pay a considerable amount in the service center.

• Now cast your gaze on the trunk and figure out exactly where the wiring will go. Most conductors pull along their own kind.
• Video device is fixed on the bumper or immediately above the license plate - here, too, will have to decide.
• Now remove several panels in the front of the car's interior.
• Disassemble the torpedo and the device in order to open access to the electric wiring.

Important! It is not advisable to put the camera inside the car interior, because the resulting image will be "zamylennym" and will not give an accurate picture of what is happening.

• Apply power from the reverse light. It is necessary to do it exactly so that the device is activated at the back stroke.
• Make sure your radio is ready for use with the new device. To do this, it does not interfere with the LCD monitor on the panel.

Installation of the

Almost all existing recording devices are connected in exactly the same way. Therefore, get the following items:

• Shuropovert.
• Fuse for half ampere.
• For some applications a soldering iron may be needed.
• Set of keys and screwdrivers.
• Quality sealant or glue.
• Insulating tape or good old scotch tape.

Operation procedure:

1. First you need to mount the camera itself. It turns out that some vehicles are equipped with basic seats for such devices. If in your car there is such an innovation, then from this place it is enough to take out the plastic plug and seat the video devices in its place. Without a seat, you have to take a drill or electric drill, which will help you to make the right hole in the bumper of the car. If you have coped with this, you can safely place there "eye" and fix its position with a sealant or a good glue.
2. Now it is necessary to stretch the wires of the camera inside the trunk and connect the negative wire to the car body. Plus, you need to power the rear headlight with a power cable. And do not forget to connect one end of the yellow wire to the camera itself.

Important! When the camera is powered, use a half-ampere pre-fused fuse.

What does the rear camera connection look like? And what to do next? It's time to take care of the radio tape recorder!

Connection to the radio unit

Find the yellow plug-tulip, take it in your hands and pull it through the entire cabin, carefully fixing it with tape or tape.

Important! Avoid cases where the cord is pinched or falls into the fastening elements. The length of such a cable usually varies within four meters. And this is enough to pave it in the most inconspicuous way even in a huge SUV.A short cable length can be compensated by another cable of the same type.

Now connect the cable and the radio. Here you need knowledge from the instruction that should go to it. Most often these devices have the same principle, but sometimes the configurations are different. The document also demonstrates to you the specification of ports, markings and other useful things.

Marking the correct connectors:

• It is often enough to connect the other end of the tulip wire to a connector called "Video in".
• Most radio receivers have an additional wire, allowing you to activate the inclusion of the radio itself in the demonstration mode of the image that is sent to the monitor from the video device. This wire is called "Back", in rare cases - "Reverse".Simply apply +12 Volts to this wire. That's why the image output devices have a specialized wire, necessary for power supply, in the set. One end of such a wire must be connected together with the end to +12 V to the power from the reverse lights, and the other end to the second wire of the radio.
• If you are a lucky owner of a camera that does not require wires, then follow the same principle that you have met today. There will be only one difference - in the "Video in" connector it is necessary to connect not a tulip, but a special transmitter.

Now you know how to connect the rear view camera to the radio. It remains only to check all this case for efficiency.
