Greetings Brandon ... I already installed my car audio, now I go for the reverse camera ... so far the best explained KZbin video on the entire web .... thank you very much ...👍👍😎😎🚘

[@BrandonStellmach]

Thank you! I’m glad the videos have helped you out! 👍

[@plantbeastbird5218]

help me bro

[@mattfoster6667]

Brandon, I just wanted to say thank you for the content you put out! In this video, does the backup camera come with the install kit with the wires to hook up or did you buy it separately? If so, what wiring kit did you use? Thank you so much!!!

[@BrandonStellmach]

I’m glad the videos have helped you out! And I can’t find the exact one that I had, but this one is very similar, and the backup cameras come with all the wires you need!

[@mahamadfryad4305]

Brandon you are doing great install camera car

[@BrandonStellmach]

Thank you! 🙏

[@aelwyne6167]

You are awesome man, I'm planning to do some updagres on my mom's car :) she has a 2010 corolla S.

I’m glad my videos can help! Thank you 🙏

[@MackMotivates]

Thank u so much for this tutorial, it helped me install this on my lil bros car super fast?

[@BrandonStellmach]

No problem! It’s a pretty easy install once you see what you have to do!

[@thelizardkingdc]

Awesome vid, 2 years later working to get the camera installed on my 2012. Installed the same screen as you actually but mine is on a single din and sticks out more? Your screen seemed to have no stereo on it compared to mine? Idk but at least can do the camera now and bring the ol girl to the 21st century! 🙌

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s strange, maybe they changed up the design a little bit. Because this radio is almost 3 years old! But I hope this video helps out to get your camera installed!

[@2WheelsAs1]

I just drilled a hole through the sheet metal of the trunk lid near the camera and painted primer on the hole edge. Then after I ran the wire through it I sealed it with RTV. For the ground wire at the back I just put it under one of the nuts for the tail light mount.

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s a good way of doing it as well! 👍

[@sheerazkhan1602]

One more question, I passed the wire same way you did using the lock hole. However, I am afraid of minor gap in lock hole due to the wire, and water can go in during the rain. Also I realised that we should be good without drilling big hole, just at the bottom make a little space for wire to slide in

[@BrandonStellmach]

I never had any issues with water getting in. You could put a little silicon around the opening to make sure no water get in! As for the hole I agree. You can just cut a slot just wide enough for the wire to fit in!

[@habeesvhharipad2334]

Hi, is the camera get the power from reverse light wire?, or camera always get power while ignition switch on?

[@BrandonStellmach]

The camera gets power from the reverse light. So it only comes on in reverse.

[@jonasnielsen1237]

how do i get the piece of trim above the licence plate off?

[@BrandonStellmach]

It’s been a while since I have done this, but there should be a few screws and maybe some clips behind the trunk lid.

[@user-np7zl3zo2t]

Hi, the camera I bought only has one black wire that connects to the screen, and one red wire which supplies power. Is it the red wire or the black and white that supplies power? In other words, which color is the ground and which color is the power supply?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Typically the Red is the power that you would connect to the positive and the black is the Ground wire.

[@bryanmilanovich2585]

Brandon can you explain better the part how you connect the Cables please 🙏🏼!

[@BrandonStellmach]

I plan to do an updated video of this in about a month, and I will try to go into more detail on the wiring.

[@sammynguyen3474]

Great video Brandon, through your great review, I am installing a Binize Android 10. My backup camera is flickering, too dark, and SWC setting (learning) is not responding. I watched a few videos but have not found the way to correct it. I hope you or someone who reads this message can help. I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla S. Thanks in advance.

[@BrandonStellmach]

For the backup camera, there usually is a way to change the video format, either in the settings, or in the corner when the backup camera pops up. And try different settings until it fixes your problem. As for the steering wheel controls, some radios will work fine, while others require more wiring. So if it’s not working with the SWC setting, then your radio might not have the OEM harness needed for steering wheel controls.

[@bobbylauz1121]

My screen is saying no video signal I would love an explanation on this issue Brandon, I know that the camera must be hooked up to the screen successfully. So my question is where is the mistake in the back end? Would I need to try to resplice the wires in the trunk or what would be the best bet?

[@BrandonStellmach]

That is strange that it says that. First thing I would check would be to make sure you have power at your reverse lights. If you do, then I would make sure the splice from the camera power and lights are connected good. A volt meter will be great to verify those! Then if all that is good, I would double check that your are using the correct wires behind the radio. I actually plan to add a new backup camera to my new corolla soon, so I may go over some of the possible problems that may happen.

[@bobbylauz1121]

@@BrandonStellmach okay thanks Brandon, I will try to check everything and get back to you tomorrow. As for the reverse lights I know they are getting power cause they always light up brightly but I’m questioning my splicing ability cause it is my first time doing so lol! Thanks for the detailed response! And I would really appreciate another video if you could make a second video regarding the back up cam but I understand if it is redundant. Thanks a lot Boss big salute from Canada as always 🫡

[@bunzoflo84]

Great video mayne. Ur videos inspired me to do mods on my 2010 corolla. Just a question, is the back up camera u installed here different from what the radio came with?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Thank you!! 🙏 And this one in the video is the same as the one that came with the unit! But I changed it to a new one a few months after that looks more OEM!

[@rtong12]

@@BrandonStellmach Awesome videos, Brandon. Can you please post the link to the newer camera that you say looks more OEM?

[@martinkwok6100]

X2. Which one did you end up replacing it with? I assume you didn’t have to run new wire since you could use the existing one

[@Christopherj1225]

I’m in the middle of this install. I got the camera mounted like yours. However I’m having issues with splicing into wires. What are those plastic pieces you are using to do that called?

[@BrandonStellmach]

I believe you are talking about the Crimp connectors. That I use to splice the wires.

[@muradsalameh5294]

I’m kinda confused about what cables you’re using in the back. I only got a red and black cable that connects to the red port by the camera.

[@BrandonStellmach]

It’s been awhile since I have done this, but I believe the camera should come with 3 wires coming from it. There should be a yellow video where that just plugs into the other yellow cable that comes from the radio, than there will be a black and a red wire. The black wire goes to the black wire on the reverse light, and the red white goes to the red wire coming from the reverse light. I hope this explains it a little better.

[@muradsalameh5294]

@@BrandonStellmach oh this was pretty much as clear as it gets... thank you so much! I just finished tidying up the car after all that modding. I installed (from your videos) the tablet, the rear view camera, and the climate control lights. I’m waiting on some new headlights and that Apple car play piece to come in soon and I’ll be all set. Everyone saw the new changes I made and they were speechless that this was the same car that was almost going to get junked a few months back. Again, this channel is amazing thank you so much!

[@The_blonde_boi]

Hey Brandon! Nice to see u again. I was wondering you just used the wire that came with the camera set to be able to connect it to the reverse input and to the reverse light? I thought you would need extra wiring to do that. I was listening to instructions on the kit I got from the same manufacturer that made my head unit

[@BrandonStellmach]

The camera should have to power wires coming out of it, 1 that goes to the back of the radio, and the other one that going into the reverse light.

[@The_blonde_boi]

@@BrandonStellmach I got it figured out. Thanks man and congrats on the new car

Hey Brandon! I was wondering where did you mount the GPS from the Android Head Unit? In your last video you put it on top but now it’s not there anymore.

[@BrandonStellmach]

It ended up just falling into the mess of wires behind the radio. it still worked good when I had it there. But I don’t use the offline maps that much.

hi one minute 3:41 who put the red plastic in the 2 lines of the reverse line, what is the name of that 2 pieces of red platic. i think put with some tool crimper ?

[@BattleBeas_________]

Do u know why my trunk lights and license plate light doesn’t work after the back up

[@BrandonStellmach]

I would double check the fuse, to make sure it did not blow. Or double check that all connections are good!

[@Timo-Epis]

Did you get this orange tool, to remove the clips, with the rear camera package?

[@BrandonStellmach]

No, the orange tools did not come with the kit. You will need to buy some!

[@hevosmies2]

Did this wiring without relay cause any fuzzing or any other problems? I am planning to install same Android headunit with backup camera but i found out that i should use relay to supply power to the camera.

[@BrandonStellmach]

When I installed my backup camera I did not use a relay.

[@kito1san]

Have you got carbitlink app that came with the head unit to work? Mine can't get pass the unregistered screen. Also, were you able to install a compass app and made it work? Lastly, are you able to put the notification icon on the top in addition to what they had. Like weather temp or even a compass. I have the exactly same head unit you have in the same Corolla.

[@BrandonStellmach]

I actually downloaded the carlink app, which did not come with the Unit. Which gives me Apple CarPlay. And for the compass I have never tried to get it working. Again because when I use Apple Maps. And the temperature would only work if the radio is connected to the internet. I assume if you would want to connect it to a hot spot that would work. But for temperature I just use the cars temperature in the instrument cluster.

[@kito1san]

@@BrandonStellmach Can you provide the link to download the carlink app? This app can mirror your phone to the screen?
