BestBuy quoted me $120 to install an $80 rear camera. After watching this video I think it's worth every cent! Thank you.

[@DanielH3342]

Good video - Instead of drilling a hole through the hatch, I removed one of the plastic grommets and filed the hole a little bit to work the wiring through that way, and used a quarter inch thick/penny diameter plumbing flange to help seal it from moisture.

[@MaikEletrica]

Nice Job Bri!

[@birdlover87]

Very valuable video, thank you! I am struggling to make my backup cam working on a 2010 legacy with the Pioneer SPH-DA160DAB Radio. Now I know where I made the mistake and guess I can make it work next week. Cheers!

[@JavierSavalos]

Great Video. Did you add the interface to use the steering wheel controls. How are the steering wheel controls added?

[@justin76kocaj14]

So I bought my Subaru used with a back up camera similar to this already installed. Recently I haven’t been able to get any signal to the camera, and it hasn’t been working. Any ideas where to look first fixing it?

[@2xtreem4you]

great video

[@lpandy21]

You must really love your niece. Neat job.

[@mrspookypoo727]

Are those 2 wires you used to hook up the reverse and park part of the wire harness you got from the radio?

[@ejicon3099]

Wouldn't it have been better to run power from the reverse light harness to the back-up camera versus having constant power being sucked-out of the stereo harness that you connected to?

[@aanichin]

what the the cable color for the brake? Do you know if 2011 Subaru Impreza 2.5i has the same cables for reverse and brake close to the radio unit?

[@21gambit]

Do you know if forester 2013 has the same wirings like your crosstrek. To get the power to activate back up camera

[@raymondorama9140]

I have a question are these backup cameras oh good for observation and security are they on continuously or is that optional if you can give me an answer I would appreciate it very much Nice video,!.. thank you in advance.

[@goodmandiad2713]

If you buy your stuff from Crutchfield they are amazingly helpful and know their stuff. Not sure how the Crosstrek hatch opens but on the outback this type of camera would block access to the button that releases the hatch.

[@keelydamara4457]

What kind of camera did you end up purchasing? I'm looking for a camera now and I didn't think of that - but it would definitely interfere with the button on my hatch door.

[@SyberPrepper]

Fantastic. Thanks!

[@doityourselfbri]

+SyberPrepper Thanks!

[@RomanRod92]

Great video! Did you install a steering wheel control adapter?

[@ob1endo977]

I'd also like to know please?

[@jf1113]

If I use the reverse trigger to power the camera what should I do with the grounding wire of the camera?

[@JavierSavalos]

What color was the parking brake wire?

[@jossuemorales8920]

I just bought the reverse camera and I’m planning installed next week , Today I installed a Kenwood media receiver without dvd . Where exactly are the reverse cable.?My XV it’s like yours.

[@jossuemorales8920]

Hey, it supposed that the kenwood know when the backup camera is active when the reverse signal power the camera?

[@mrspookypoo727]

I am confused on that part aswell... did you figure it out?

[@bucknuts8824]

did you buy the boyo and kenwood seperately? could you have used any back up camera for the double din unit?

[@doityourselfbri]

Yes I purchased them seperaetly off of amazon.... You could use any backup camera with the Kenwood head unit. I just added the links bellow the video... Hit the show more on the video description for more info! Thanks!

[@JackRR15]

So could you use a continuity test on a multimeter to do the same job as the light?

[@doityourselfbri]

+TheMidnightNarwhal Yeah it's just easier to understand with a test light for some things.

[@JackRR15]

Ok thanks!

[@gozettel]

How much is the parts and labor ball park please???

[@leifharmsen]

Couldnt they make a battery operated bluetooth backup camera instead of drilling holes and running wires?

[@EJ257IHI]

Is there an alternative to fishing the wire and NOT drilling into the body of the car? I'm doing a 2006 Subaru Tribeca.

[@humbughumbughumbug]

Probably yes. This generation XV had a rubber grommet he could have punched a hole through where the stock backup camera would have wired through. So look for this rubber grommet, bung, or plug above the license plate area in the plastic shroud. Also, if you DO drill a hole in the metal, don't only use primer! Paint it! Primer is hydrophilic and it might accelerate the rusting process underneath it! Happy modding!

[@jossuemorales8920]

I just made a little hole like mouse hole in the plastic cover next to the switch that open the back door, not in the metal.

[@JavierSavalos]

@@humbughumbughumbug Do you know if an additional harness is needed to use steering controls?

[@humbughumbughumbug]

@@JavierSavalos For the radio? No... But technically yes 😂 (NOTE this is specifically for getting the SW wires for headunits like Chinese Android models) The wiring harness you buy (Metra or Axxess) is probably missing a few wires for SW+ and SW- which you might need to buy a second harness to sacrifice/pull two wires from to move over to the harness you'll use. There's also smaller Amazon sellers that sell a fully populated (custom) harness to include SW wires, Canbus, etc. but you have to search for them.

[@bahythehd7044]

Hi guys, I need some help,when in put my car in reverse my camera doesn't pop,when I do it manual it does...

[@doityourselfbri]

Its probably not seeing the signal from your reverse wire... Check your reverse wire

[@victorruiz526]

link for kit please

[@doityourselfbri]

I just added the links bellow the video... Hit the show more on the video description for more info! Thanks!

[@whatfreedom7]

Anyone having a issue whit the IR version having a blinding white screen at night?

[@cruxinterfaces]

I've seen your other videos as well as this one, if you want to add Apple Car Play to your factory radio please check out our page.

[@KillaZamii]

People steal backup cameras?

[@T.hatsAri]

People steal everything

[@Barrenchats]

Step One... drop your car off at the work shop "Clean".

[@johnq5370]

way to much extra information....I gave up listening to you.

[@doityourselfbri]

I'm sorry buddy, have a great day!

[@johnq5370]

@@doityourselfbri Dont get me wrong, it's a good video. I'm sure if someone has no automotive electrical experience it would be helpful.
