[@robertoriveros3053]

Hello Friend. Nice video. Please can you tell me what did you do with the ground (-) cable when you cutted the power cable of the camera in the trunk. It shows you connected to video cable (+) but not the (-). Thank you so much

[@данилгафуров-х2з]

Thank you very much! I did it)

[@miszauvek]

Another great video

Thanks!

Multumim pentru tutorial!

Hi! You shoukd check how to install the electromagnetic band reverse sensor. You don't need to make holes in your bumper and it makes sound when you approach to am obstacle

[@AdrianDragan]

Hi. I know about the electromagnetic system but it seems to be less accurate than the classic sensor system.

[@rompedientes123123]

@@AdrianDragan For me is quite good for the price! And you don't drill the bumper. Cheers!

[@crazyprofessor1240]

Thanks for great video. Can you tell exactly which cable on android unit is used for power the camera?

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. They are written differently, not a rule. See: CCD IN, Rear Cam ...

[@MastaBruce13]

Great work!

[@Minoas521]

Hello Adrian can i ask you a question i have a c4 with a similar multimedia screen but don't show me the doors when are open

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. Do the controls on the steering wheel work? It is possible that the canbus decoder in the menu is not configured correctly. You could also ask the seller from whom you bought the Android unit about this problem.

[@Minoas521]

@@AdrianDragan steering wheel buttons works very nice. Maybe the cunbus is the problem

[@AdrianDragan]

@@Minoas521 Check which car is set in the canbus menu. You can also try with Peugeot 307, 308, 408.

[@Minoas521]

@@AdrianDragan thank you very much I will try

[@Minoas521]

@@AdrianDragan I try it right now but I couldn't find something like this I'll try all the brands Peugeot and Citroen. Thank you again keep the nice work my friend 💯💯💯

Hello Adrian,what is + cable cord from reverse light?

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. It is the + cable from the reversing light bulb. See in my video at minutes 5:14

[@wdr9573]

on my radio, the only free cables are key1, key2, antenna where should I connect the power?

[@AdrianDragan]

Hi. Power the camera from the positive cable from the reversing lamp bulb.

[@alexismendes]

Hi Adrian I have the same problem. The only free cables on the unit are key1, key2 and antenna…where i should Connect the power?

Hello Adrian for Citroen c4 2006 with android unit which dash cam is better for my car and multimedia screen

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. These Android dash cams don't have the greatest image quality, but you can try this one: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEF9CJP I use the dedicated dashboard camera that works independently of the Android unit and includes surveillance functions when the car is parked, the front and rear camera: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEuZlWv

@@AdrianDragan thank you very much for the response

[@benjaminbristow]

How come your screen border seems to be black now when the video you did a few months ago had a silver border?

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. There are two different cars 🙂

[@benjaminbristow]

@@AdrianDragan ah right that makes sense. Did you have a link to the black variant of the screen as I have the one for the silver but would much prefer purchasing and installing the black version.

[@AdrianDragan]

On the car where I installed the camera, the owner also had the Android unit with a silver frame, but he painted it matte black.

[@benjaminbristow]

@@AdrianDragan ah interesting. Thanks for letting me know!

[@Guilherme-gn4no]

Hi, if you install one of these multimedias with the XP decoder is it possible to read the car diagnostics? For things that appear in the original screen such as headlamp and airbag faults

[@Niphrentil]

I have tried 2 canbus decoders, the Reise that came with the device and a SimpleSoft XP decoder. The Reise was a complete disappointment, I couldn't even get on the menu of the car because the on screen controls didn't do anything. Thankfully, the steering wheel controls worked so I managed until the second canbus arrived. Things got a bit better with the XP Decoder but still disappointing. It can read the doors opening and closing and you can use the on screen controls to access the car menu but that's about it. No dynamic steering on reverse, no other info about headlights, wipers etc. Honestly, I get a ton more info about the car from my OBD2 reader rather than the canbus. Seems like they prototyped these things on Peugeot cars and the slight changes between Peugeot and Cotroen throws them off somehow... Maybe in the future I'll try another canbus, or maybe @Adrian had better luck/knowledge to help us out! Anyway, that's my experience. Hope I helped.

[@Guilherme-gn4no]

@@Niphrentil thank you for your response! My car has the RT4 (big screen) so I would not be able to fit it below the multimedia. This means that I would loose the ability to see diagnostics errors and this isn't worth it for me.

[@Niphrentil]

@@Guilherme-gn4no yeah, if you already have the factory Navigation system, it's not worth to switch it for an Android Head Unit. I would recommend an OBD2 reader though, you can connect that to your smartphone and get extra info about the car (engine load, vacuum pressure, air intake temperatures and much more) and also get rid of pesky fault messages.

[@AdrianDragan]

Hi. There are many models of units with different versions of Android. Canbus XP usually displays info messages but cannot guarantee that it will display on any drive.

[@chuck7729]

8:34 - I'm sorry but the camera is terrible (and it's during the day), I don't dare to imagine at night

[@AdrianDragan]

It wasn't the best picture, but the camera was also of an old generation. Now the new cameras no longer have this problem.

[@oussamachemli3554]

how did you get the screen to show that there is an open door

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. This Android unit has a canbus decoder that receives information from the car's computer and displays some of it on the Android screen, such as this one about open doors.

[@predragsinko2513]

Picture quality? How about camera with sensors?

[@Shvidko]

And I'm also wondering what the quality of the video is. In the video, the quality is not very good.

[@rompedientes123123]

Look for electromagnetic band reverse sensor it is so easy

[@Niphrentil]

I insalled a rear view camera on my C4 to the android head unit and the camera quality is lengths above what is shown on the video. I'm guessing either the electromagnetic band needs reversing (like @Waka_1111 suggested) or it's just a faulty camera. My advice is to get a couple of cheap cameras and try them out before screwing them on to the frame. If both look good, keep one as a back up. If none look good and no settings seems to fix it, try and getting a higher value, quality camera.

[@rompedientes123123]

The electromagnetic band sensor don't need drill on the bumper, is sticked directly to the inside of the bumper and costs like 10-15€. You power it with the reverse ligth wire and so when you put reverse the sensor activates.

[@peterheugen6954]

Hi, thanks for the video. When I put the gear in the back there are stripes in the display. What can I do?

[@AdrianDragan]

Hello. Where did you power the reversing camera? From the reversing lamp or from the Android unit?

[@peterheugen6954]

Hi Adrian, it is for my peugeot 2008. The power i take from left side where the cables are for the lights, info i get from a car repair shop. It is not possible to take it from the lamp it self

[@peterheugen6954]

He Adrian, some while a go you have install same Multimedia unit for 308. I have buy this kit works perfectly, my wife wants this also for her 2008. Everything works accept i have stripes in the display when i put the car in the back gear. I dont know how i can repair this.

[@AdrianDragan]

@@peterheugen6954 Hello! Is the car's original camera?

[@amsgomes97]

This is due the CAN network, which uses ac power to check the status of lights in this case. You will need to install an AC filter. After you install the filter you will have a clean image

[@mariorossi8711]

Ma il filo nero negativo della telecamera dove va collegato?

[@AdrianDragan]

Ciao. Non mi collego da nessuna parte perché diventa negativo tramite il cavo del segnale video.
