08-17 Maserati Granturismo HD Backup Camera Full Install Back Seat Removal

[@BJ55WCF]

Thanks for your guidance Robin, thought I'd share my experience following your video. I have a 4.2 and although in theory, the shells should be the same as a 4.7, I lacked the hole in the firewall to fish the cable through. I then discovered that to the very rear, underneath the shelf (you need to remove) there are two holes which go into the trunk, much easier to route the cable this way I feel. And whilst you're there and for those that don't have power via the headunit , a fuse tap to the reverse fuse in the boot saves having to tap into the reverse light wire, further lessening the amount of cable routing required.

Hi Robin, I just finished installing the rear camera. Your videos have been awesome and a massive help, in fact I wouldn't even have thought doing it without your help. The install went really well, and everything works perfectly. For information, I didn't need to solder any wiring. Bringing the wiring from the car body through the rubber sheath into the trunk lid, I taped up the camera wiring and connectors as small as possible and then greased the outside of the tape pretty heavily with ordinary grease and it pushed through fairly easily. To get the wiring through the lid beside the number plate I removed the opener and drilled against the edge of the opener button slot, basically adding a notch to the slot. The camera went through the space where the button sits and the wiring through the drilled notch. Like you I used a little sealant to ensure a watertight seal. Thanks again for the great instruction. Now on to the front camera :)

Thanks Robin, never hesitate to contact me if you have any do it yourself questions regarding anything Maserati 🔱 Granturismo. Good job on routing your reverse camera cable. It was a heavy stuff task to remove the backseats and the trunk carpets. Good job, Robin. Great shared video.

Nice install. I did the same play Apple CarPlay on my 2015. I wish Maserati would have added this to begin with.

Great job I'm looking forward to installing mine thanks for all the email help, also i was not going to replace my unit but when i saw yours i was in thanks.

[@caymanspyder1593]

Your welcome!! Enjoyed doing the videos

Another option where I used the existing number plate light and hole to minimise drilling through the panel. The existing number plate light plastic waterproof housing also provides water tight operations.

[@caymanspyder1593]

You bet, I found that too and that is the way I install them now, That was my first install.

[@MyDeere3320]

Great DIY videos. Keep it up man. I'm planning on getting a sports car soon and Maserati GT is one of the 3 I had in mind.

Found it Robin lol. Should have done more digging, could have found it myself.

[@dwattel]

how do you connect the camera to your "Reverse gear" ? did i miss something? .... so when you put the car in reverse, how does the camera turns on? ( i know you said the headunit powers the camera)

[@linga89]

My installer connects the power to the reverse light, so when you engage reverse light, it provides power to the camera at the same time

Do I have to drill hole the back trunk for backup camera?

[@caymanspyder1593]

No not at all, you can go through the license plate light, will seal around the rubber, no drilling or cutting needed.

May I ask how to replace Maserati Levante reverse camera? Thank you

[@jeffbalaga]

what wire behind the radio is the reverse light trigger wire?

[@caymanspyder1593]

Hello, What Brand and Gen do you have? AuCar or AcarNavi Gen 2.1 and newer it should be the brown "back" wire

[@TJMills-rz7ov]

Where did you get the spoiler?

[@caymanspyder1593]

I bought it on ebay, I just checked and the seller no longer sells that spoiler. I got the "Maserati GranTuismo Coupe Ikon Style Trunk Spoiler"

You could have said the entire thing in 10 minutes if you would stick to the subject and just do the work instead of droning on and on.
