How To Install Wireless Backup Camera on Honda CR-V

To install the wireless backup camera on the tailgate of the CR-V

[@computersshot]

You are the coolest you done this job ...Yet you take it all apart again, Risking damage to your panels again to show us an idea to do this job. You are a good man.

[@vcrobison]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I love that you simply explain the process. Thanks to your daughter too for her great camera work .

[@xywix]

Thank you for explaining which one is positive and which one is negative. I’ve been stuck for hours trying to find a good enough video.

[@joeh666]

It helps a lot, I am installing the back up camera for my wife's 09 CR-V and this is exactly what I need, appreciated your work man.

[@xennonman]

Thank you for the video instructions. i just installed similar combo on my CRV. For me, the hardest part was taking the door apart but thanks to your instructions that was not hard.

[@davehofmann6790]

I don't know what people are complaining about. I did buy a trim tool set but otherwise followed your video and it was a lot easier than trying to figure it out myself.

[@stephendistaso6947]

Great video, this just helped me install a new wired camera in my CRV. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

[@yinghongcao3275]

You're welcome.

[@baksharp]

Thank You, Yinghong Cao. God bless. Kudos to you - I just installed Auto-Vox M1W wireless backup camera in my 2010 Honda CRV following your instructions!. Awesome instructions. Found exactly as you said it!. No issues whatsoever!. Thanks.

[@airborne13579]

Great job. I have a 2010 CRV. With this video, I might give it a trial.

[@lodiprideprimitives]

What an excellent video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it and share it!

[@jskirwin]

This is like the only video out there for this model of car. I referenced it several times - even though I'm installing a wired backup camera (note: there is a port below the light and a hole in the body that will allow you to enter the cabin with the RCA jack). Thanks Yinghong!

[@yinghongcao3275]

My pleasure. By the way, where is the port and hole located? Under the tail light? Thanks

[@jskirwin]

@@yinghongcao3275 Yes. It is about 5 inches below the tail light. It is about 2 inches wide and 3/4 inches tall. You can easily drill through that. Pull back the inside trunk area plastic panel and you should be able to fish a wire to it.

[@yinghongcao3275]

@@jskirwin wonderful, thanks so much!

[@1hjehje]

I have a Honda 2009 CRV and I just ordered an Android Auto screen with a wired backup camera. Thank you for this video as I am sure that it will be helpful when I do my camera installation.

[@bradhenry7437]

Excellent video. Saved me a lot of time!

[@flyingvfan51]

Thank you! I did this today using your instructions and it turned out great. This is a great video!

[@yinghongcao3275]

You're welcome! Enjoy your DIY technologies!

[@ATIK-USA]

Thank you so much for uploading this video, you save my money. Thanks again......

[@ReneRaffo]

This is the same principal for the Honda Element thank you

[@koshykoshy9276]

Thank you for uploading

[@knarfsidnal]

Thank you. Very clear and simple instructions. I am installing the exact same system to my wife's '09 CR-V. For the power cable pass-through, I will try to pierce a neat hole in the rubber grommet (upper left corner of hatch) using a hot nail. Question: have you experienced any difficulty/failure of the adhesive attachment for the transmitter module: Thank you again.

[@seemorevid1]

About to try this today (3/2/18) on my 2011 CR-V. thank you for the very clear demonstration.

[@yinghongcao3275]

Wish you enjoy your work. The installation shall be same for the 2007-2011 model.

[@seemorevid1]

Successful, except found it very difficult to remove the liner. I got the smaller ones off, then drilled a small hole in the back liner and "fished' the wires through. just have to patch the hole as invisibly as possible. Had a busy afternoon, but got it done!

[@yinghongcao3275]

Congratulations!

[@seemorevid1]

Thanks!

[@jamescherry765]

This was great. I replaced my backup camera 🎥 no problems after watching your video 👌

[@yinghongcao3275]

Glad it helped. Mine still works great after 4 years of installation.

[@yinghongcao3275]

Just realized it has been 5 years. Can't believe it. Time flies.

[@y2k704]

thank you this video was very helpful

[@xMarkuzx]

thank you for the video!

[@09876superduper]

Great video, thanks to you and your camera person. That looked like my garage, right down the the hanging ladder garage door opener and grass catcher on the wall... wait a minute, I better go check and see if you installed it on my car. :)

[@yinghongcao3275]

Ha Ha!

[@09876superduper]

Updating to let you know I installed the camera on my car. It was really very easy to install after viewing this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@baylorstandsstands7943]

Thank you. Will be used as guide for me. Been thinking about backup camera

[@yinghongcao3275]

Hope it helps

[@baksharp]

Thank You, Great Video!!

[@emeizhang]

映泓， 你好。我羽成，很高兴看到你的视频，正和朋友装和你同款的2010CRV 倒车camera，多谢

[@yinghongcao3275]

不客气，很高兴这个视频有点用处😊

[@LLCoolPass]

you are refreshing.

[@monkeyhonest179]

Nice job, admire our Chinese Fellows, and I will upgrade my Pilot too.

[@yinghongcao3275]

Thanks.

[@thedinhtran]

Thanks a lot!

[@jambreaker8911]

Thank you for the great video, could you please add a link for the Garmin equipment that you used in this video?

[@yinghongcao3275]

www.amazon.com/Garmin-BC-Wireless-Backup-Camera/dp/B00RVGXYJK/ref=sr_1_3?crid=WCQXQRV1LT4W&dchild=1&keywords=garmin%2Bbc30%2Bwireless%2Bbackup%2Bcamera&qid=1591814950&sprefix=garmin%2Bbc%2B30%2B%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-3&th=1

[@yinghongcao3275]

The wireless camera and signal receiving cable are packed in two boxes. Some websites sell them separately. Look carefully if the price is much lower that this one. Make sure it does give you both, not just the camera without the receiving cable. This receiving cable is required to charge and supply image to the GPS. regular GPS power cable won't receive signal from the camera.

[@jambreaker8911]

Thank you

[@lightworkerlabs3287]

Is it possible to install on a 2002 crv? Im not sure cuz the back has the tire on the right side and the license plate is to the left which makes it not centered. I figure maaaaybe possible? Great video btw.

[@yinghongcao3275]

Maybe. The principle shall remain same. You may install it above the license plate on the left, not centered, but still gives you a helpful back view when backup. The key point is to safely remove the plastic panel of the tail door and the light assembly on the rear right side. Good luck if you decide to try.

[@brendanzivcic]

Thanks for the video. What size socket did you say? 20mm?

[@brendanzivcic]

10mm worked for me. thanks.

[@yinghongcao3275]

10 mm wrench socket to unscrew the door handle. The screws on the CR-V are all in metric unit.

[@kobretti441]

Thank you.😄

[@davidcastillo1340]

I have a non-wireless camera. How do I run the cable through the interior until it reaches the dash? Ceiling or floor?

[@yinghongcao3275]

I don't have experience on this. Good luck to you. Some people run under floor mat. Some people run through side panel. Both involve a lot of work and have exposed cable around the dash board. That's why I chose wireless type, in which the cable is hidden inside the panel of the back door.

[@y2k704]

what was the name of the wire you used and where did you get it from?

[@yinghongcao3275]

It is Garmin BC 30 wireless camera, and its matching receiver power cable. The product is unavailable now. You might try the newer versions such as BC 50. Here is one from Amazon: www.amazon.com/Garmin-Resolution-160-degree-Weather-Resistant-Wearable4U/dp/B0B4YB4KZB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1MXWNEA9EC9WZ&keywords=garmin%2Bbc%2Bwireless%2Bbackup%2Bcamera&qid=1673152425&sprefix=garmin%2Bbc%2Bwireless%2Bbackup%2Bcamera%2Caps%2C137&sr=8-1-spons&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0&smid=AY1YC2BWA3QO7&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExM0wyNVRVS0FHWUE5JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDYzOTc5Mlg1Q0tQMjE3OEJXSSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDYyMjg4MzNUOEJUSE1aWUkyRSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1

[@johnnyappleseed8742]

That is hard work. How about for a wired backup camera?

[@yinghongcao3275]

The wired camera needs more work. You'll still install camera and drill holes to put cables inside, one cable to connect to reverse power. Then you'll have to run another cable through the wall or floor in the cabin to reach a screen on the dashboard. A lot more work that I don't like.

[@billyvlog7138]

How much for this backup camera?

[@yinghongcao3275]

About USD 140 to 170. You can buy it at Amazon, search for Garmin BC 30 backup camera

[@zz12345aaa12345zz]

How to connect the wires together? I've never done something like that

[@yinghongcao3275]

You may need a handyman to help. Simple version: you peer off the skin of both wires and wrap/tie the naked wires together, then wrap them with electric tape (black) to prevent shortage. Official version: you buy the wire connecting plugs or solder them together, then wrap with tapes.

[@jerryandxh]

看到小e的微博，特地来看一下哈哈，曹先生牛🍺！

[@yinghongcao3275]

小e是谁？谢谢他（她）的介绍。您在中国？美国？我做这个视频纯属好玩，希望有人用得着。曹。

[@davehofmann6790]

Why is the green wire positive? Green is usually ground.

[@yinghongcao3275]

That's how it works here. My memory about the wiring is fading away, can't tell you why. Sorry.

[@rjs1215]

What year is this CR-V you are working on?

[@yinghongcao3275]

Model year 2010. It is the same generation from 2007-2011

[@gurungoracle]

what year is your car?

[@yinghongcao3275]

2010 model, shall be same for the model year from 2007 to 2011. I guess Honda likely keep same design pattern in the new model 2012 to now. But you have to confirm yourself.

[@richmaster20]

I came to see the “wireless” camera installation video

[@bobbyg212]

It's "wireless" between the back of the car and the display unit in the cockpit. At 5:20 he shows you where the transmitter is.

[@sunnymango2101]

What year of crv?

[@yinghongcao3275]

The year of 2010. It is the same generation from 2007 to 2011.

[@sunnymango2101]

Thank you. Appreciate your reply!

[@hoisec2013]

Es un quilombo...

[@RXFINYC]

I’m still confused

[@dirkdiggler2695]

It says wireless but yet there are wires, huh false advertising.

[@TinoDetres]

Wireless in terms of it connecting the camera with the front screen. Eliminating the need for running wires to the front.

[@victorbasilio1148]

Que pesima instalacion

[@telhommep]

No ground connection !

[@yinghongcao3275]

Ground connection is for high voltage 120V or higher. This is a small voltage 12V electronic device. I believe it doesn't need a ground connection. Actually, even many devices, such as computer charger that uses 120 V power, only have two pins, which means the ground connection is not connected even you have it in the extension cord or wall socket.

[@TinoDetres]

I'm a professional installer of 25 year plus. DO NOT USE A SCREWDRIVER TO PRY ANYTHING LOOSE ON VEHICLE! USE PLASTIC PANEL, AUTO TRIM REMOVAL TOOLS ONLY. If you look closely he damaged the plastic tabs on the panels and more likely than not, the paint with the screwdriver while removing the tail light assembly.

[@vcrobison]

Chill. It's a 7 year old car.

[@livelongandprosper70]
