07-13 Sierra tailgate handle backup camera install

[@OscarMartinez-rz7cj]

My man, rockin the company issued fishing tape lol. Good video thanks for giving an honest opinion about the fitment. I was gonna order this camera to keep an OEM look, but if the fitment isn't right there is no point.

[@T_B_C_L]

The benefits of parking your work truck at home... 😂 Thx for watching 🍻

[@javiersantanajr.1996]

On your stereo setting i believe you have to change camera setting to AHD to support the higher resolution.. at least on my stereo its like that.. let me know how it goes.. great video..

[@T_B_C_L]

If I switch to anything other than NTSC I just get a blurry picture 😒

[@lazysundaydrums]

Hey man, do you have any input for me. 2005 GMC Sierra I installed a pioneer DMH2660NEX Also installed rear view Ecoconut tailgate bezel camera. Head unit purple/white reverse trigger wired to cameras purple wire. Red wire from head unit tied into GM harness adapter, AND red wire from camera (3 reds in one crimp cap. Then cameras ground wire to metal frame inside dash. Camera does not turn on when shifted into reverse, only turns on manually when selected on HU. Before the install, and just in general, my dimmer switch that controls the cluster has been failing, the lights that show “(P)ark,(R)everse (N)eutral(D)rive(L)ow)” is completely dead, Do you think this miscommunication of the failing switch is preventing the reverse trigger to engage?? 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@lazysundaydrums]

Also, yellow RC cable plugged into brown RVCM input

[@T_B_C_L]

It's really hard for me to know exactly what wires you need to hook up without seeing everything but what you can probably do is just do what I did in the video. You should only have 2 wires red (positive) black (negative)and a yellow rca(video) wire from the camera. Find the positive wire behind the tail light and connect it to the red wire on the camera harness going to camera and back to the radio. You can ground black the wire anywhere. Now behind the radio connect the red wire you connected behind the tail light to the reverse wire marked from the radio harness. Connect the yellow rca and that's it. The way it should work is. When you put truck into reverse that positive voltage will turn on the camera and send the signal through the reverse wire telling the radio to go to the back up camera input screen. Hope all that makes sense.

Hello, I wanted to ask a question because I am already desperate, I bought a tailgate camera for my 2007 silverado, I connect it to the radio and it tells me that there is no signal, I don't know what to do or if it is some problem with the settings on the radio...thank you

[@T_B_C_L]

Ok I need more information. Like what radio are you connecting the camera to? What exact wires did you connect and what did you connect them to?

[@giovannibalcazar]

I have the same radio bro how did you make the home page to look like that did you have to update it?

[@giovannibalcazar]

@@T_B_C_L thanks bro! I have a question if I buy the back up camera do I just plug in the yellow connector and put it on reverse and it would work?

[@T_B_C_L]

@@giovannibalcazar you will also need to connect to the reverse wire behind the radio or connect to the tail light reverse wire like I did in the video .

[@giovannibalcazar]

@@T_B_C_L oh okay got it is the reversal cable the red one?

[@T_B_C_L]

@@giovannibalcazar yes that red wire needs to be connected to the reverse 12v wire. This is what turns the camera on when putting it in reverse.

[@carlocamarillo1617]

Did you use any of the trigger wire(purple) ends?

[@T_B_C_L]

I did not have to hook up the purple trigger wires as the radio I'm using knows when the shifter is put into reverse. Though this may be different for other radios.

[@thoma214]

Good video man! Could you theoretically use the 12v wire on the head unit rather than tapping into the tail light? Like when you tested the camera at the start of the video. Thank you for the awesome content!

[@T_B_C_L]

Yes you can. Only downfall is the camera would be powered on the entire time the key is in the on position. This may not be good for the camera and decrease its life expectancy. On the other hand it might last forever lol. I guess in all depends how you want to do the install. Honestly tapping into the reverse light is really simple and that would be my recommendation.

[@eliseogallardojr7086]

What’s up man I’m working this thing up rn mind if I ask you where you wired your ground to?

[@T_B_C_L]

@@eliseogallardojr7086 honestly man I don't remember. For some reason I don't think I even grounded it. I think it's using the ground off of the rca video plug to work. If that doesn't work, you could honestly ground it anywhere on the body.

[@littlecajun2241]

Why didn’t you show how it connected to back of stereo? Mines not coming on when put in reverse.

[@T_B_C_L]

My radio uses a can bus connection so there's no connection behind the radio except the yellow video plug. You may need connect the reverse wire you connected at the taillight to the reverse input on the back of the radio. This tells your radio you are in reverse and to turn the reverse camera screen on.

[@azcamaro602]

what deck is that bro, was gona replace mine

[@T_B_C_L]

Gotta check out my other videos my man kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaTZl6h3h5h4r5Y

[@austinhigel4118]

What did you tap into for the trigger wire?

[@T_B_C_L]

7 minutes into the video you can see where I tapped into the green wire for the trigger.

[@austinhigel4118]

@@T_B_C_L I meant on the head unit

[@T_B_C_L]

@@austinhigel4118 I found out that when I put the truck in reverse the radio automatically sets the screen to the backup camera video input. So as long as you use the reverse trigger from the tail light you will be good.

[@austinhigel4118]

@@T_B_C_L okay cool thank you, I already have all that set up I'm just doing a head unit swap and trying to make sure I can still use my cam

[@kidgodnesshd47]

What radio is that? I’m looking for one like yours for my truck.

[@T_B_C_L]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaTZl6h3h5h4r5Y check out my channel, I have a few videos about this radio.

[@jsturgillrn]

Where did you get the cam?

[@lixx707]

Would it fit for a 99 sierra?

[@T_B_C_L]

The handle is completely different so probably not.

[@Dixonyass-g8v]

Can you keep the camera on to watch your load when towing?

[@johndurante2322]

Can you read before watching this video ? It says 2007- 13 cause those modoes are the same parts 😆 🤣

[@nokemavideos3737]

Does it work with the eonon

[@T_B_C_L]

Yes that's what I installed it on.
